Um. Does this think what I think it means? It appears congratulations are in order, but the word is not doing the sentiment behind it justice. I'm going to start start screaming again and I just barely stopped from the last two times.
Really. And now I'm going to cry, too. I'm so darn happy for you!
um, ??? is this for real! OMGOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSHHHHH?
AHHHHHHHHH!!!! For reals?! AHHHHHHH!!!!!
Shut Up! I am so super duper happy for you! So, so, so happy! If I had your address, I'd send you flowers!
Oooooh!!! How wonderful! You don't know me, I am a lurker but just had to say that is the best news all day!!!!
Is this about the new Elizabeth movie? Because I really want to see that.
I heart you.
I'm in shock, the very best kind of shock. I think I'm going to cry (again.)
Girl, you need to call me on the telephone for once!!!
Congrats.
Courney... I have to say that when I ended up pregnant, and Geo I had a niggle that you were on the way...you needed to be grouped in with this lot of miracle babies. It must be in the air. That, or all these babies will be superheros or something..
I am SO so happy for you, I can't even tell you. Are you the type to wait until you are past the first trimester to tell? (Clearly, I am not). That would be funny if we had an explosion of blog babies right around March and April...
Congrats to you and Chup and I hope you are geeling great...
I am SO happy for you!! Congratulations! I started to shake a little when ~j called to tell me, I was so excited for you.
Oh, Vladimir, we've been praying for you for so long! A round of drinks on me!
Congrats Ceej and Chu!
So funny that I don't even know you and this kinda just made my day. Nice work!
It must be all the intuitive eating - congrats
YEAH YEAH YEAH!!! Oh My Gosh!!!
Now you're going to have to change your profile info.
Congratulations!
I'm crying tears of joy! I'm so happy for you, Courtney!
I must echo my sister's (Eliza) sentiments. Congrats!
Congratulations! I am so happy for you!
YAY! Congratulations! I am very happy for you.
WOW! Awesome!! And then five more to go after this one, right? Haha. So--can you please give some details?
(Crying, crying craying!)
There are no words! Happy happy happy!!!
(Back to crying!)
Rejoice!
whoops, didn't mean "craying" can hardly type, there's so much moisture -Congrats!
Isn't.
That.
Amazing.
My heart has gone all electrical surge, Courtney. Lightning, live wire, firefly! I am burning.
When I woke up half an hour ago I knew I needed to go to the temple this morning. Now I'll be carrying thoughts of you et al with me. And many prayers of thanks and spine-dancing hurrahs.
Talk about signs and wonders. Don't you feel you're in the middle of something VAST? I do.
(I can't stop commenting.)
What a photo.
XOXOXOXOXOXO ad infinitum
I'm hearing Etta James singing "At Last...", everything is in slow motion and cartoon hearts are popping around your head.
That is the most beautiful news I've heard in a LONG time!
Congratulations! XOXOXO
This is the very best news to wake up to! I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy for you and Chup!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful. Wonderful. Happy Day!!!
Congratulations-- so very heartfelt.

Leslie
the best news is this, cjane is naming baby (if girl) NIENIE...that is soooo cute!
I second all the "I don't know you but I am so so so so so so happy for you!" comments! My husband and I have been unsuccessfully trying for a while and hearing your news gave me renewed hope! You are going to be such a great mom!
Okay, I know I just posted like 5 minutes ago, but I am just so happy for you!
When will this little wonder grace the world with his/her presence???
It's funny, I don't know you personally, but I think I will be giddy all day long just because this is the BEST news!
holy crap!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!!! this is so exciting! when are you due??
What a fun journey you're just beginning! 3 bazillion cheers for all THREE of you!!
WOW!
What thrilling news!
Many, many warm wishes to you!
Hurrah!
Yeah! Congratulations!
From one former sub-fertile girl to another, there is no better or scarier feeling than getting that positive!! Yeah for you guys!
Shock and AWE!!! And Awwwww! I'm sooo Happy for you, all of you!
Yay!
Ok, there's a whole group of us up here in Eastern WA who have never met you and are going to be cheering you on everyday for the next several months! I am so incredibly happy for you. With this many prayers coming your way, this is going to be one BLESSED baby.
Congrats!
yay, cjane!
I want to drop the "F" bomb, I'm so excited! But I won't.
Good work, C-dawg and Chup-a-dawg.
I don't know you, but YAY! I am so happy for you!!!!! You will be a great mom. Hope you're feeling OK. How far along are you? Details, please.
oh, wow! congrats momma.
This is too much to keep in, so I have to keep coming back to read the comments and share the feeling with everyone else who is just ecstatic for you too.
Hugs of joy!
I am crying (with joy) and I have never even met you, as it seems many are. This is powerful stuff having a worldwide community of prayers in your behalf.
(But remember a couple of weeks ago I told you I got pregnant after seeing my doppleganger in the newspaper. Now it HAS to be true!)
Congrats cjane & chup, or should I say Mommy and Daddy!
no
words
amazing...
Many, Many, MANY happy returns to you and Chup!!
I really hope all of this baby joy spreads to the rest of us. Here's to the month of September, may it be a successful one!
CONGRATS and yay for BABIES!!!
Oh, Courtney! Congratulations. You are going to be an amazing mommy.

Hi ~

"Yay you!!"
What wonderful news - you embark on a glorious adventure.
:)
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am so happy for you and Chup. *HUGS
Holy cow, I have goosebumps and tears in my eyes.
CW is the right, the word congratulations just doesn't feel like enough.
Wow.
So very very happy for you and Chup. There is something going on, your miracle baby is one of about 6 that I know of right now. I'm keeping my legs crossed!!
And, what a wonderful reason to miss lunch.
Enjoy the bliss.

oh happy day. happy day. congrats to you!
My heart is leaping for you! So happy and smiling for you! You will be a wonderful mom!!! Congrats a million time!
It is an amazing feeling to have a new life growing within you.
Surreal almost.
I am so happy for you, and yes, I just so happen to be crying too.
I am so grateful for your news...and the blessings it will bring into your life.
That explains the cravings for Steve-O's french fries.
Congratulations! That is the best news I've heard in a long time!
What a happy happy day with happy happy news! Congratulations to you and your Chup! How wonderful that there will be a miniC or miniChup coming into our world!
I don't want to sound like a weirdo but I started reading your blog early this year when I was struggling with some hard stuff and your blog cheered me up and made me feel better. And I have thought about your infertility challenge a lot and I think it has to be the hardest thing a woman could ever go through. And now I have to say that I am SO incredibly happy for you guys. That is the best news EVER!!!! Congratulations times a million!! I can't wait to read more details.
CONGRATULATIONS! Is this a June baby?
That must explain the "Off to a late start this morning" in your previous post, huh?
YAY!
I'm very excited for you. This totally made my day. It's like when you watch a t.v. show and waiting for the inevitable to happen but they just keep stringing you along until the best possible moment to let the event happen. Congratulations!!
Congrats CJane. Haley and I are so enthused! you will be a super mother!!
I am thrilled!!!!! Congratulations!!!!
so happy for you. so exciting!
I don't know if I should believe it! Congrats! And more cograts!
I found you through my cousins blog. I am SO happy for you. May You Keep Receiving these wonderful blessings.
You don't know me, like many other people on here, but I read your blog often and was pleasantly surprised today! That is so exciting. Congratulations and share the details please (due date?)
YOU DID IT NOW!!!!
Life will never be the same....in the good way!
I am so happy for you!
I can't think of a better, more nurturing woman than you! Not only are you and Chup blessed to be adding another soul into your lives but so is that baby of yours for having you two as parents!
Blessing galore these days!
Well Done!
Congratulations sweet Courtney and Chris, we are so happy for you and will watch with wonder as this unfolds!

YEAH! WE SHALL BE PREGGERS TOGETHER! I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU! CAN I COME TO YOUR BABY SHOWER? I HAVE SO MANY GIFTS IN MIND FOR YOUR LITTLE ONE...IS CHUP BEYOND THRILLED??????
i'm finally coming out of comment hiding to say congrats courtney! i've been reading your blog for a while now and know what a HUGE thing this is for you and Chris (oh and our husbands know each other from good old garrens days). HOORAY!!!!
Crying, too. I am so happy for you.
Everything has pretty much been said, but I wanted to throw my congratulations in there too!!
Soooooooo HAPPY for you!!!!!!
Sometimes language just breaks down and is so totally inadequate to communicate the joy or gratitude that we feel in the most wonderful moments of life, doesn't it?
Feeling a heart full of things for your "moment" that there are no words for.
Yay! I agree with the details comment, and fast! When your finished with it, send some of those miracle baby vibes my way.
P.S.
NieNie is a great name for a girl but doesn't "Baby Jane" sound so sweet too...Then she could be named after her mom and her cousin....And for boy names...Chup Jr. is unique and dignified...Who wouldn't want that?
WOOOOOOOO!!!!
I have decided...we MUST have a bloggers baby shower for you.....We MUST give you the cutest things ever...and we MUST send Miracle Baby thoughts to Kelly M. and "fresh blueberries"-who are so adorable and need to have little ones running around too. C Jane Run. See Baby Jane Run. Now we need another Kelly to run around. And a baby blue. Then our "blogger family" would be complete!
Happy news! Congratulations. You will be in my prayers. Excuse me while I go do a few cartwheels in your honor. . .
Your barely blogging, but still loyal fan,
Jennifer B.
You know, everything seems so right today.
Your miracle inspires me with faith and hope. Congrats!
Soda cracker sandwich! Totally wasn't expecting that today.
Oh Cjane, all the best during these upcoming months. I am sure you will cherish every minute of it.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I am SO happy for you both! (even though I don't even know you :) My sister-in-law has been trying to get pregnant for 8 years, and has never been able to, so this will give her much needed hope! :) Hooray!
Remember that email I sent you after I saw Phoebe's apron post, and I thought it was yours? It still applies. Woohoo!
The best news ever. Hooray!!
I've had a feeling for a while that you were, but didn't want to say "Courtney, its happened." and you think I'm crazy.
I am so happy for you and your new adventure.
Mel
Good things come to those who wait
...patiently
Tears of joy for you! funny thing is my cousin who reads your blog almost as much as I do is the one who told me. First thing this morning she called and said GUESS WHAT!

Holy toledo! Congratulations! *B
La RC Cola texted me this morning while I was at work. I read it on my break, and it said, "C JANE IS PREGNANT!" I did a fist pump and let out a big ole "WOOT!" in the middle of a large room of other working people. I was only sad that I could not get online right then to tell you congratulations. JOYOUS, WONDERFUL CONGRATULATIONS!
Wow, wow, wow, Congrats, I know how many hopes and prayers have gone into this. What blessings. EEEk
Congratulations!!
Elle: Mrs. K is pregnant? Is she REALLY?! (happy yell:) Wooohoo!!

Lawdy and crew
I'm sorry that nobody is excited for you Courtney. Well, even if no one else is, I am. (Yahoo!) Jayne called to tell me.:)
I thought you would want to name a girl, Tunie!
'Sorry that I missed you when you brought the book back, darn it!
This might change what kind of costume you might want to wear now.....something without a waistband....hmmmmmm....You could go as a pregnancy test!
Birgithe is a great name and it can work for either sex - even hermaphrodites.
I will eat a burrito in honor of you and your good news! Congratulations!
I just pulled 2 dozen cinnamon rolls out of the oven... and frosted them with cream cheese frosting... and if I still lived in Utah I'd deliver them to you right now! Even though I don't know you ~ I'm so happy for you :)
ALL:
Cjane is out of town and will be back to give you the details at a later date.
whoot who, the clarks are in laguna and we heard the good news from jessie and lindsay and all we can say is HALLELUA!!!!!! we're thinking you must have been wearing that fertile necklace on that magical night.
congratulations!! Gwen says wear "the slip on you head for luck."
Cried when I read your post. Cried when I read the comments. Never have left a comment on your blog but miracles require it.
Congrats
You need some cookies. You deserve them.
I should have at least given you the dough that was in my freezer yesterday. I was just so flustered by the pop-in that I couldn't think straight!
So happy for you & Chup.
Congratulations! What a nice surprise. This will be one well-dressed, hip, happenin', kid.

So happy for you!
Not that you need one more comment, but I can't help but say congratulations times infinity.

I wanted to be the 134th comment, because that is the most important comment a blog can have.
Congratu-freakin-lationS!
Congrats! You will be a great Mommy. Isn't it the most amazing thing? I am thrilled for you.

Two things (then maybe more later)
1. The Girl's Camp Curse lives on.
2. What in the WORLD are you going to change your profile to?
3. Guess you're going to have to quit smoking . . . again.
4. Which room are you going to clear out? Your's or Chup's?
5. Where are you going to put your office once you clear it out?
6. Does Ralphy know? Because he should. I really don't see the need to keep it from him. He is family too dangit. Just because he . . . sorry, off track.
7. CONGRATULATIONS!
8. I am happy that over 120 different people beat me to the punch. You guys are loved.
9. See you in church.

Congratulations!!! No one deserves it more than you and Chup!!!
This is the best news I've heard. Yay, yay, yay!!!!!
Such great news. Congratulations.
AUGHGHGHGHGHGHGH!!!! Does joy transmit across the internet? Yes! Today it does.
Just to leave my mark in the history of bloggerdom.... Congratulations! This is huge in so many ways. Phun is stoked.
WhooHoo!!! Couldn't be happier for you.
amazing. awesome. i'm shivering happy.
be sure and explain couvade to Chup.
I am a lurker and am glad to see that I am not the only one. I was up in the middle of the night nursing my baby and was drifting in and out of sleep. As I drifted, i thought to myself "C Jane gets to do this...i am so happy for her." Then i found myself offering up a prayer that went something like this (remember it is the middle of the night and i am drifting). "Heavenly Father, please bless CJane and Chup. Only those aren't thier real names, but you know who i am talking about because you are well...you. amen and goodnight" Congrats!
I'm pretty sure that this means you had relations, which I don't necessarily approve of, but I will let slide just this once.
iwould have given you FRANCESBEAN if youd of asked becausewhat good is she to me nowthat she wont fetch me a maitai or even the remote MYNOSEHURTS
I am not a fan of lots of swearing, but the convert in my yelled "hell yeah!"
WOOHOO. You are gonna be one incredible mama.
You freaking rock. This made my night!
xoxo
Katie

HOW? WHERE? WHAT? WHEN? WHY?
This is the cruelest cliffhanger! We all want to know the details! After all that is what we are use too girl!
I shouldn't be so hard on you. Perhaps you are still in the location of the toilet paper & blue walls!
Jamie's MOM
Congratulations!! That is wonderful news. YEAH!

Yea!!!! Woo hoo!!! :) I am so happy for you! Anna is thrilled and she wants you to know she loves to baby-sit, has lots of experience, and misses you a lot!
Gerb got me reading your blog (thanks Gerb!). You are such a talented writer!
We all miss you, esp. GT. (We have our own classroom now- it's cool!) Drop by sometime.
XOX Annette
(PS. For some reason, my computer won't let me post on your site, a word verification doesn't come up. IDK why. So, Gerb. is posting this for me! Thank you Gerb!)
my goodness. I haven't checked this blog for a week, and I come back to THIS?!?!?!?! congrats all around.
Thank you thank you thank you everyone! Chup and I have enjoyed/cried reading your comments. Welcome to the delurkers and loves to my regulars. I feel so incredibly blessed!
congratulations!! You have given my younger sister hope!
what a lucky girl to have so much love and support. patrick told me that when he commented, he was like the 143rd person! WOW. i remember you saying a while back you were going to respond to everyone who wrote you-- good luck with THAT! :)
congratulations! the world can definitely use another great mother!
I think All of Blogdom is cheering for you! Congratulations!
One-hundred-and-sixty-six comments???? WOOOO-HOOOOO!!!!!!
Words cannot express my joy for you!
Praise the Lord!! Congratulations!!
I am nothing but a wretched lurker. But I too must join in the collective shout of joy! What could be better than this?
And I do know how you feel after having my own two-years of infertility to see that little blue line is something never to be forgotten.
I can't wait to see this whole pregnancy and the darling baby blogged to pieces right here on enjoy it. We want to hear every little miraculous thing.
congrats! I wish you would have called me! we'll talk later
Huge, HUGE congratulations!
I'm just finally reading this and want to add my two cents worth of Congrats!
Do you want my hypnobirthing cds?
If he's a boy, will you name him Giacomo?
I would love to be the 173 comment on your wonderful news and say: what a lucky baby! Hurray for all of you!
Lucky just told me. I am just incredibly thrilled for you even though I'm late to know. God bless!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am so excited for you!!!! I am trying to calculate if you will be missing Young Women's Camp, next year. It is July 8th....Oh, you should be fine...HA HA!!! YEA!!! Congratulations!!!
CJane,
I am sort of a lurker. Actually, my bro & his wife are friends with Topher (i assume through the theater/acting industry) and i have had many a hardy chuckle over on the Jolly Porter which is how i linked to you...Anywho, I was in the depths of moving from El Paso (hence my La Yen connection as well) back to Utah & hadn't read for a while and now i can't hold in my excitement for you!
Just wanted to be comment #176 and let you know how happy I am for you & Chup! The Lord does answer prayers & your faith inspires me as well as (obviously)many others. You're writing is fun , insightful & thought provoking and no wonder you are such a rockstar out here in the blogging world.
Children are blessings-I love my little boys with all of my heart & i look forward to following along in your joyous/pukey (the worst part) pregnancy journey. BTW: Ice cold lemonade was all i could drink in the first trimester to withstand the nausea! I feel your pain.
I'm one of those quiet, not-prone-to-comment readers who have been silently praying and wishing for you to feel pukey! In the very best way, for the best reason! And I agree: the sicker the mama, the more beautiful the baby.
Congratulations! Now I shall switch prayers to a new one: a happy, easy second trimester!
