Hello All,
I've been a sorry excuse of a poster lately, so I'm not really in tune with what's going on with the board, but I still know enough people here to make an announcement: Foxy, my fiancee, is pregnant!
So it happened a couple of years before we were planning it, before we could even get married, before I've finished my postgraduate degree -- but so what? We're financially sturdy enough to pull it off, I'll be able to complete the degree and get a good job, and no amount of financial anxiety seems to offset the excitement I feel to be having a child. It's something we both wanted in the not-too-distant future anyway.
The only other source of anxiety comes from telling my JW father, something I'm planning to do this evening. Foxy and I wonder if he'll feel compelled to turn me in, this being evidence of premarital you-know-what. I don't care if I get disfellowshipped, really, but I do want him to be happy, despite whatever reservations he holds.
But for this board, and the friends I've made on it -- gather 'round, take a cigar, and thanks for letting me in! If anyone has any, er, "experiences" relevant to my new situation, I'd be grateful to hear them!
Dedalus
