I received an outpouring of emails and phone calls after the big announcement! I can't even believe it! Thank you to everyone for all of your kind words. Since I was too lazy to forward all the emails to Larry for him to read, I just copied them all together, removing any personal or incriminating info (like names and such). Except for Dave, due to the suggestions that Lil' Lui will have to either share his name or birthday. Taurus child...hmmmm!? Stubborn child with a stubborn mommy might spice up our lives! Anyways, thanks again to everyone for all of your congratulations and kind words! Apparently this kid is the size of a LIME already! What!??? I will keep you updated, but it's 9:00 folks....time for bed! =p
• What a great idea, Grandma loves it:)
• Congratulations!!! I know that you are so very excited! I don't know where you are going to fit this lil lui in your so tiny tummy but I am sure you will find room! I am so happy for the two of you!
• Congratulations!!! I don't know how to say how truly happy this news makes me feel, even all the way out here in New York. It feels like only yesterday we were at a wedding together, hanging out. My best thoughts are with you.
• Well, it's so nice to hear from you and CONGRATS. How funny (and I hope I'm not stealing your thunder or anything) but I am also expecting a baby...due on May 8th?????? We'll be putting on the pounds together. We've waited 5 years since our first daughter and we're also excited. Keep me posted!
• CONGRATS!!! That is so exciting!! wow wee!!! send my best to Larry as well!
• OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy for you :) Congrats :) This is so exciting :) You are the first friend I know that is having a baby. I will be asking you some questions in case I ever decide to have a baby someday :) So, how are you feeling?
• YAY!!! I already knew and have been praying for you guys, but YAY for the official email!! We are so excited for you both. I will look forward to receiving all the updates, and hopefully we'll be able to fly out and see you and Larry either before or shortly after the little one makes his or her appearance into the world :) my friend who had a baby last March said that going into her 2nd trimester was almost like flipping a lightswitch... she suddenly got her energy back and the nausea went away (she was having a hard time eating certain food groups). I know every pregnancy is different, but apparently the energy thing really starts to come back after the first 3 months are behind you...Congrats to you both!!!!!!!
• Awfully close to Dave's birthday. Is "dave" or "big worm" potential middle names?
• So exciting! Loving the blog and can't wait to read more entries. Since your due date is so close to Dave's birthday, and you were at our wedding when Lil Lui implanted, shouldn't that mean that we get to help you name the baby?? I'm thinking you should go with Sarah Palin's method of naming it after a favorite activity so....Wii Lui? Or if you're feeing really specific, Rock Band Lui :)
• CONGRATS FROM YA LONG FORGOTTEN FRIEND, REMEMBER ME?
• Congrats to you and Larry....You are both going to be great parents !!!!!
• wow, cool. congrats Maile!
• Congratulations! You know , you looked a little peekish when we visited you, but we thought it was the new job, etc. That is such exciting news! A new little baby in the family is just what every needs with such other negative news around us. We all wish you the best in the upcoming months as you expand and get all hormonal (no fun), but it is all worth it. Take care of yourself and enjoy these months as "childless parents".
• love the website. it's too cute.
• in the late 80s, larry promised me his first born for a turn on the nintendo. i guess, he didn't have the foresight. i'll be by to pick-up around mayish.
• I'm so happy for you!! Congrats!
• Congrats !
• HOLY COW!!! (or should I say Monkeys!) Congratulations!!!!
• I think you handled The Swan Oyster Depot pretty well! That "crab lui" salad was off the hook! Can't wait to see the "grape" develop into a full blown "lair pie"...
• hey, nerdicus! i saw your blog and it's super cute!! =) i'm glad that i don't have to be careful about not being the blabbermouth who spills the beans now!

• Oh Maile I am so excited for you guys!! congratulations!!! I have exciting news for you too! I am also pregnant. we are a month a part. I am due April 11th. the crazy thing is I am having twins!!! Bought the bella band!! worn it a few times and it is great. the pants can't be buttoned any more!! I have been so sick. sounds like you have had some nausea. Thank god it is starting to go away for me. I basically threw up every day for past 2 months. I bought these candies called preggie pops...which I would have found them sooner then a few weeks ago. they seemed to really help with the nausea. we will have to stay in touch. again congrats. I am sooo excited for you guys!!
