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.

compulsive writer said...

Really. And now I'm going to cry, too. I'm so darn happy for you!

-Jamie said...

um, ??? is this for real! OMGOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSHHHHH?

Hey Jude! said...

AHHHHHHHHH!!!! For reals?! AHHHHHHH!!!!!

Mandee said...

Shut Up! I am so super duper happy for you! So, so, so happy! If I had your address, I'd send you flowers!

michelle said...

Oooooh!!! How wonderful! You don't know me, I am a lurker but just had to say that is the best news all day!!!!

AzĂșcar said...

Is this about the new Elizabeth movie? Because I really want to see that.

I heart you.

cg6 said...

I'm in shock, the very best kind of shock. I think I'm going to cry (again.)

tiff-fay-fay said...

Girl, you need to call me on the telephone for once!!!

Congrats.

Bek said...

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...

beans said...

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.

Mrs. Dub said...

Oh, Vladimir, we've been praying for you for so long! A round of drinks on me!

Congrats Ceej and Chu!

Eliza said...

So funny that I don't even know you and this kinda just made my day. Nice work!

ktb said...

It must be all the intuitive eating - congrats

laura said...

YAY! Congratulations! I am very happy for you.

Karenkool said...

WOW! Awesome!! And then five more to go after this one, right? Haha. So--can you please give some details?

RC Cola! said...

(Crying, crying craying!)

There are no words! Happy happy happy!!!

(Back to crying!)

Rejoice!

RC Cola! said...

whoops, didn't mean "craying" can hardly type, there's so much moisture -Congrats!

Geo said...

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

Leisha said...

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!

Tharker said...

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!

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!

Tami said...

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!

Lucky Red Hen said...

words

Kalli Ko said...

Wow.

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!

littlemama said...

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!

Denae said...

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.

Lindsey said...

CONGRATULATIONS! Is this a June baby?

That must explain the "Off to a late start this morning" in your previous post, huh?

YAY!

Cassie said...

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!!

pflower10 said...

Life will never be the same....in the good way!

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!

Emily M. said...

Crying, too. I am so happy for you.

Alyson said...

Everything has pretty much been said, but I wanted to throw my congratulations in there too!!

Soooooooo HAPPY for you!!!!!!

Emily said...

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.

Fresh Blueberries said...

Yay! I agree with the details comment, and fast! When your finished with it, send some of those miracle baby vibes my way.

Holladay Family said...

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?

Lorien said...

WOOOOOOOO!!!!

Holladay Family said...

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!

Jennifer B. said...

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.

~cari~ said...

Laura said...

Tiffany said...

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.

Kristi said...

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!

Emily said...

Remember that email I sent you after I saw Phoebe's apron post, and I thought it was yours? It still applies. Woohoo!

Design Mom said...

The best news ever. Hooray!!

MissMel said...

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.

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!

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

Holly said...

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.
