3rd pea?

Today is the first anniversary of Two Peas, No Pod.

So this seems like as good a time as any to mention that some time in March next year we may need to change the name slightly. What do you think of three peas, no pod?

Yes, we’re expecting a baby. And yes, we’re quite excited about it.

C is almost 14 weeks pregnant and we’ve been physically holding ourselves back, preventing ourselves from shouting it from the rooftops and blogging like mad about every little thing.

This is also the reason that C hasn’t been posting as often of late. Having to run to the bathroom to combat nausea after less than 5 minutes in front of the computer screen isn’t particularly conducive to posting. It isn’t particularly conducive to writing a thesis either, but that’s another issue entirely.

Life goes on as normal for P, for the time being at least. He’s mostly concerned with making sure he still has a viable income stream in March, so that when C stops working life won’t grind to a halt.

All of our friends responded to the news with a general “well it’s about time” attitude. We have been pretty clucky for the last couple of years, it’s true. But we don’t have to be anymore – at least not about other people’s children so much.

So there you have it. The new look three peas, no pod will be launched in early March, but we may have to wait a few years for the newest collaborator to make her or his first post. S/he is bound to be a star attraction though.
