It's positive!

One of the first things Vit and I established when we first became romantically involved is that we both wanted to have children. We share a deep love of science and the natural world and wanted to share our sense of wonder with children of our own. At the same time, in our sharing we were hoping to experience the world vicariously through fresh eyes, reliving the thrill of learning and discovery.



When the pregnancy test finally came up positive, we were launched into a whole new realm of learning: reading up on diet, lifestyle, and fetal development. We were also put into an unanticipated tour of various types and standards of prenatal care. The bookcase is filled with overdue library books on the topic of expectant parents. We are elated. Boy or girl, we just can’t wait to meet our first babe. The grandparents are thrilled as well.
