Some Surprise
August 10th, 2008
Well hi!
I guess it was a bit rude of me to just off and run away on vacation without saying anything. I had a last-minute paranoia that someone would come and pillage my home, despite having the world’s nosiest gun-toting (and retired!) neighbors who are fans of the concept of shooting first, asking questions later. (This is my second such neighbor IN A ROW. Vermont and Florida, two gun-friendly states!)
(Also, uh, disappearing for a week is SORT OF OBVIOUS, which means I’m sort of dumb, but whatever.)
Vacation was … relaxing. Very relaxing, in fact, as we did very little. I know! And we were in such a great city and everything! But the truth is, I wasn’t up for much, as I felt like ass for pretty much the entire vacation. In fact, I’ve felt like warmed-over doggie doo for an alarming number of weeks now, to the point where I’m wondering, oh my God, will I EVER FEEL GOOD AGAIN?
No, I mean, really. WHEN? WHEN? OH MY GOD, WHEN?
(Heads up: this is not a painful rant about being sick! I promise! IT GETS BETTER.)
You know what was nice? Eating. Eating was nice. And no, I didn’t get my poutine, because it appears, ladies and gentlemen, that I am off of french fries, for the time being, at least. I look at them and want to cry, because they used to be so good and now … oh no. Not now. French fries are the devil.
Also on notice: chicken (please, no. No no no), most seafood (HORK), a terrifying amount of vegetables and anything else that strikes me as repulsive for no other reason than … I don’t know. Oh YES. The sandwich franchise famous for a young man named Jared? The word — and I literally mean this — THE WORD makes me puke just thinking about it, never mind the SMELL. THE SMELL. OH MY GOD WHO CAN EAT THERE? WHAT IS THAT HOUSE OF HORRORS?
Also? I throw up. A lot. Three times daily, in fact.
Have you figured it out yet, my friends?
I’m pregnant. In my 11th week, due at the very beginning of March.
Believe me when I tell you that no one — NO ONE — is more surprised about this than me. Well, and maybe Adam, who I’d already wailingly informed two days prior that I wasn’t pregnant again that month, as I’d peed on about 5,000 tests ALREADY and THEY WERE ALL NEGATIVE. (Also? I was pretty sure I’d gotten my period. Or was about to. Or something.)
But lo! A FAINT POSITIVE WE DID HAVE.
And then I ran to the store and bought 10 more tests and peed on them all. Over and over again. I didn’t stop peeing on them until I started puking, because who needs a positive test when you can’t keep your head out of the toilet?
I was too apprehensive to even think about getting excited, you know? But the ultrasound and the little thump thump thump thump THUMPITY THUMP that filled the room with my teeny little alien bun-baby’s heartbeat proved otherwise.
So if all goes well, folks, I’m having a baby. Adam is beside himself. And I’ve been dying — DYING — to tell you about it, and can’t believe you endured the drivel of writing around it over the last month or so. Give yourselves a gold star! But not a cookie (EW COOKIES.) (I know, COOKIES? But yes. No no cookies, no thank you. I just threw up a bowl of Cookie Crisp and cannot endure the thought.)
(Doughnuts are in the clear, however. Big fan of the doughnuts.)
Oh, and also?

7. Ariel | August 10th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
Delurking to say “HOORAY” and when I read the last post and you mentioned pregnancy and ovulation tests I though “Hmmm. I bet she’s pregnant!”
8. Jen | August 10th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
That’s fantastic! Welcome to the club!
Also, I totally bought The Cake Sale album the last time you pimped it. “Some Surprise” is the best track. And well, THIS news is definitely some surprise.
CONGRATS!
Let me know if you want any advice. Because I’m such at pro at this bring pregnant thing at 19 weeks. Heh.

11. Assertagirl | August 10th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
So I guess you stayed away from the Canadian beer, then, too.
Congratulations!!! This news warrants the triple exclamation mark.
12. Sadie | August 10th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
oh, and also !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations, very much. I can’t think of anyone whose pregnancy I would rather read about, and I can’t wait to see how you write it.
13. Maggy | August 10th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
yea for you! (and Adam, too) When can we throw you a shower? I am praying that you will feel better soon.
14. Jenn | August 10th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
That is so exciting! I am so happy for you. Congratulations!
15. willikat | August 10th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
Wow! Congrats! There’s something in the blog-water. Almost every blog I’m reading these days has a pregnant lady behind it! Can’t wait to hear all about it.
16. Heather B. | August 10th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!! I had this odd feeling about it but this is so damn exciting! Congratulations!

19. Mandee | August 10th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
What great news! I’ve had a weird feeling about it, and am so happy for you that I was right! Congratulations.
20. AndreAnna | August 10th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
Wooohooooooooooo!!!
Congrats! I Knew it as soon as I read the title. I can’t wait to read your journey.
I just had my second baby a few weeks ago so the memory of the food aversions is fresh. With my first it was chicken and pizza (still can;t wat pizza) and with this second, it was pork and seafood.
And yes, donuts were always, always a safe bet.
21. Christine | August 10th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
OHMYGOD!
Congratulations!
Also, so happy to hear that doughnuts are still A-okay. I mean, c’mon you have to eat! Might as well be sugary goodness.
22. Tessa | August 10th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Yahoo! I’m so happy to hear it. (Read it?)
23. SAJ | August 10th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
wow! yay!
24. Sarcomical | August 10th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
woot! congrats and good luck on this new adventure, girly.
…you know, some people say feeling sick at the beginning is a good sign. but hell, what do i know? can’t wait to read about your journey.
25. jonniker | August 10th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
Awww, thanks everyone.
AndreAnna: Pizza is a “safe” food for me. I can almost always eat pizza, but I PREFER it in the form of Totino’s Pizza Rolls, combination flavor. How gross is that? Am making baby out of PIZZA ROLLS. (And BLTs)
26. Jennifer | August 10th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
Congratulations!!!!!
Pizza was my go-to food all through both pregnancies -
27. Loralee | August 10th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
Had to see what all the “Wheeeeee-ing” was about on Twitter and may I offer my hearty CONGRATULATIONS!!! To you!
*I lived on coke Slurpees for three of my pregnancies. NOTHING would stay down. Empathy to you and your poor tummy.
28. diane | August 10th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
awww, congratulations! So happy for you
29. K | August 10th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
Wow! 28 comments in less than an hour!
Congrats. I too had a “feeling” and am soooo happy for you! Hope you’re soon feeling better and reaping the energy burst of the 2nd trimester.
Best of luck!
30. Kristin | August 10th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
Pure, shiny, rollicking AWESOMENESS. Congrats.
31. merrymishaps | August 10th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
Yay! Congratulations! This may be my first time delurking here but I had to chime in!
32. April | August 10th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
Congrats!! That is so exciting!
33. Susan C | August 10th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
Great news – so excited for you!
I was wondering where you’ve been…
34. Caitlin | August 10th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
Jonnnnaaaa! Congratufreakinlations! I am SO excited for you. I was reading the first few paragraphs thinking, well, my god, it sounds like she’s pregnant, and maybe she should GET THAT CHECKED OUT. And then of course, well….yes. HOORAY!
And conveniently, my last post was about donuts, because MMMM, DONUTS!
(I KNOW that’s the wrong spelling, but I…I am a victim of my environment, by which I mean Dunkin Donuts).
35. Bethany | August 10th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
Congratulations!!! What amazing, wonderful news!
36. Jamie | August 10th, 2008 at 4:50 pm
!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats!!!!
37. Sara | August 10th, 2008 at 4:57 pm

38. jonniker | August 10th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
Caitlin: MMMM DUNKIN DONUTS.
39. Anne L. | August 10th, 2008 at 5:04 pm
AWESOME!!!
40. Lawyerish | August 10th, 2008 at 5:09 pm
PPPTTTTTHHHHBBBBBBBTTTTHHHHHHHHH!!!
That was the rush of air exploding out of me because FINALLY THE SECRET IS OUT AND I CAN BREATHE AGAIN.
I just knew I was going to somehow let it slip and out you to THE WORLD.
(Yes, this is my totally lame way of lording it over everyone that I KNEW. BWAH HA HA HA! Am obnoxious.)
41. Lara | August 10th, 2008 at 5:25 pm
As I was reading that I thought “???…if she says she’s not pregnant, I won’t believe it”. Congratulations and I hope you feel better soon.
42. moo | August 10th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
I was WONDERING with all the sickness and ickiness and stuff … but I knew you guys were struggling, so I didn’t want to ask and hurt feelings.
CONGRATS! I’m due at the end of March myself … must’ve been something in the water this past month!
43. Danell | August 10th, 2008 at 5:31 pm
SQUEEEEE!!!!!! And Congratulations! And also…where is Swistle?? Has anyone told Swistle?? I’m so excited for you!!
(hey, I’m due at the beginning of March, too! mmm, totino’s pizza rolls…)
44. Mary O | August 10th, 2008 at 5:34 pm
Yaaaay!!!! So exciting. I am so very happy for you.
Hope the morning sickness ends quickly, although some people say that lots of morning sickness is a sign of a healthy baby!
45. jonniker | August 10th, 2008 at 5:34 pm
Danell: Swistle knows — I couldn’t keep it from Swistle for very long. The woman’s had FIVE children. How could I not demand that she be my personal pregnancy coach?
46. inane chicken posse | August 10th, 2008 at 5:34 pm
total strangerness saying yay! oh the sound of the heart! Is there ANYTHING BETTER?
47. Stacy | August 10th, 2008 at 5:35 pm
Another de-lurker here. I can totally sympathize with all the puking. I just finished my 12th week and am FINALLY starting to feel normal again. That was REALLY getting old! Hopefully your misery will fade soon too! Congrats! Looking forward to hearing about pregnancy in your words
48. Emily | August 10th, 2008 at 5:38 pm
HA! I called it. On Facebook. I WIN.
Congratulations, Jonna!!!
49. jonniker | August 10th, 2008 at 5:39 pm
HAAA. Emily, you totally did. And I was … speechless.
50. Kate | August 10th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
What wonderful news! Man, my fav bloggers are popping up preggo left and right – I love it!
A huge congratulations and wishes for a smooth remaining 6+ months. Yippee!! Another baby to look forward to in the Blogosphere!
51. slynnro | August 10th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
yay! congrats!
52. Carol | August 10th, 2008 at 6:04 pm
congratulations Jonna and Adam!!! That is so wonderful. I sure hope you start to feel better in a week or so.
53. Carolyn J. | August 10th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
I am so glad to see you get what you longed for! You guys must be over the moon. Guess that crazy gyno of yours didn’t do any permanent damage, eh?
54. Swistle | August 10th, 2008 at 6:13 pm
Darling girl, I am so happy!
Also: BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY!
Also: so sorry about the barfing.
55. Mauigirl52 | August 10th, 2008 at 6:20 pm
CONGRATULATIONS! That is wonderful!!! Great news!
56. Amy K | August 10th, 2008 at 6:21 pm
Wow, congratulations! We can totally commiserate for the next six months because I’m due March 9th and in the same boat regarding food (it’s all bad except for gummy fruit snacks and Slurpees at the moment…sigh). My perfume collection is going to have to go, because just looking at it makes me ill. Hello, elastic waistband skirts and porn-worthy bra sizes.
57. Carolyn | August 10th, 2008 at 6:22 pm
Congratulations!!! I am so excited for both of you. Sorry that you are feeling sick but hopefully that will go away soon.
58. Camels & Chocolate | August 10th, 2008 at 6:36 pm

60. -R- | August 10th, 2008 at 7:10 pm
Congratulations! I never had food aversions, but I did throw up a lot. Feel free to e-mail me to complain whenever you want! Or if you want to share happy thoughts, I’m up for that too. I am really excited for you two (three!).
61. ZestyJenny | August 10th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
YAY!
YAY! YAY! YAY!
Oh my god! I am SOOOOOO excited!!! We are pregnancy buddies!! YAY! YAY! YAY!
I must admit to tearing up a little. The hormones, you know. And I totally hear you on the blog drivel while keeping the BIGGEST SECRET OF YOUR LIFE. I didn’t notice yours, but man, my blog suuuuuucked during those 12 weeks of secret keeping torture.
YAY!
62. jonniker | August 10th, 2008 at 7:18 pm
Jenny: Yours was another pregnancy I’d been watching from afar, afraid to comment, lest I scream “ME TOO OMG ME TOO!”
63. Timi | August 10th, 2008 at 7:20 pm
Congratulations!!!! So happy for you. Hang in there, the throwing up does suck.
64. She Likes Purple | August 10th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
Lord, I hope you get to feeling better soon. I’M SO EXCITED FOR YOU.
Also, yes, donuts. Yum.

YAY! YAY! YAY!!!!!!
When I saw your Twitter about driving two hours for blood work I wondered…
HOORAY! Except for the puking. That sucks. And blows. Chunks.
67. whoorl | August 10th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
This is the best news EVER! I am so excited for you two (three)!
68. Kara | August 10th, 2008 at 8:57 pm
wonderful wonderful news. So excited for you you guys!!!!!!! I had my suspicions, but since I am an infrequent commenter, I didn’t want to speculate.
Hope you stop horking soon.
69. Blythe | August 10th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
Oh what fantastic news! I’ve never been this excited about someone describing their barf to me before. BIG congratulations to you and Adam. I’ll bet you feel better very soon. And thank god for donuts.
HOORAY!
70. banana | August 10th, 2008 at 9:16 pm

75. TwoBusy | August 11th, 2008 at 4:39 am
Bag open. Cats… everywhere.
76. Kristin H | August 11th, 2008 at 4:41 am
AHHHH!!!! Congratulations!! I actually just sat at my desk and CLAPPED! I am so, so happy for your both and CONGRATULATIONS! Hooray for you! (Uh, except for the puking part. Hang tight, they don’t call the second trimester the Golden Trimester for nothing.)
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! : )
77. velocibadgergirl | August 11th, 2008 at 5:00 am
OMG SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations!!
Every time I go away on vacation, all the bloggers I know give birth or get knocked up, and I’m late to the party. I am SO HAPPY for you!

Great news to read on a MOnday morning! Congratulations a million times over! I cannot wait to read all about your pregnancy!
81. Andrea | August 11th, 2008 at 5:48 am
WOOT! I can’t wait to read about your pregnancy and parenthood reactions. Seriously, it’s gonna be a hoot!
I’m so happy for you it’s silly. Especially since I know you’ve had some trouble getting here. Yay for faint positives!
82. Teej | August 11th, 2008 at 5:52 am
Wonderful!! Congratulations!!!

Congratulations! Can’t wait to “meet” the little one!
85. Megan | August 11th, 2008 at 6:30 am
Delurking to say congrats!!! And holy hell, I am SO right with you on the food thing. I’m in my 12th week, and hate 90% of all food. Pizza and mozzarella sticks are safe. And so is Fiber One raisin bran. But everything else is pretty much EW.
86. Gaby | August 11th, 2008 at 6:31 am
I haven’t left a comment before, but I want to say “congratulations!” I’m fairly new to your blog, but I love your writing style, your humor, and your wit, and I am so thrilled to have the opportunity to read about you having a baby! Every baby is a gift, but I cheer just a bit louder for women who have to work so hard to have one. I wish you a very healthy pregnancy, and I look forward to hearing about what I hope to expect some day.
87. Jakki | August 11th, 2008 at 6:49 am
OH MY GAWD!!!! congrat’s!
88. Erin | August 11th, 2008 at 7:06 am

Spectacular, awesome, amazing news! Many blessings to the Jonniker clan.

96. claire | August 11th, 2008 at 7:43 am
oh MY GOD!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
When you said french fries were of the devil, i was like, ‘wait a second….that doesn’t sound like Jonna…’
YAAAAAYYYYY!!!! SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!
97. zandor | August 11th, 2008 at 7:57 am
Congratulations! That’s awesome.
98. Sundry | August 11th, 2008 at 8:02 am
You know I am pants-peeingly excited for you and now I hope you talk about pregnancy ALL THE TIME. Also, am so sad you haven’t hit the Food is Magic stage, crossing my fingers that 12-week mark makes the difference.
99. Val | August 11th, 2008 at 8:11 am
Yay! I’m sooooo very excited for you! Congratulations!!
100. Marie | August 11th, 2008 at 8:13 am
Delurking to say that I am with Sundry and hope you talk about pregnancy all the time, too.
Congratulations; I did a little dance in my chair for you this morning.
101. JG | August 11th, 2008 at 8:14 am
I knew it! I knew it! (Your Facebooking gave you away.)
Also: CONGRATULATIONS!

103. Jess | August 11th, 2008 at 8:19 am
OH MY GOD YAY! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS POST FOR SO LONG! CONGRATULATIONS!
104. Carrie (in MN) | August 11th, 2008 at 8:22 am
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you want any assvice about dealing with morning sickness? Eat before you get hungry and protein (whatever you can tolerate) helps stave off the sickies. So forward ho on the Totino’s pizza rolls and BLTs.
105. Shelly | August 11th, 2008 at 8:38 am
You know? I had a feeling. I can’t say why..your posts are just as awesome, but somehow I had a feeling we’d be hearing this news……
I’m so happy for you, and CONGRATULATIONS, and…..well, you know….it’s all so exciting!!
Smells……oh the smells….I still remember, and it’s been almost 16 years……….it does get better, I PROMISE, and I’m SO EXCITED for you…..
I had this feeling………
106. Beth | August 11th, 2008 at 8:52 am
OMG, congratulations! So, so excited for you, and am now hoping the baby won’t be a freakish vampire/human because you were reading Twilight during its critical brain development phase.
(Who read “The Scarlet Letter” one too many times and now is convinced that a mother’s moods during pregnancy weirdly affect her child, despite all evidence to the contrary and fact that Hawthorne, not a doctor, wrote it?)
107. Jody | August 11th, 2008 at 9:06 am
Congrats! Hopefully, you’ll be back to all your normal food loves in no time.
108. renmen | August 11th, 2008 at 9:30 am
yaaaaaaaaaayyyyy! congratulations!!!!!!!
hope the morning sickness ends soon – mine seemed to end magically at 12 weeks, but there were still a few foods that were too gross for words throughout my pregnancy. still best not to think about those, actually…
i do hold donuts solely responsible for the 20 pounds i still have not lost. beware!
109. mdog | August 11th, 2008 at 9:39 am
woohoo!!!
110. Sara | August 11th, 2008 at 9:46 am
Congratulations, Jonna and Adam! This post has totally redeemed my formerly execrable Monday. Yay for you!

holy heck, yayyyy! loooong-time lurker here chiming in with a big congratulations!! can’t wait to hear more! welcome to crazyville!
112. Amanda Brown | August 11th, 2008 at 9:50 am
I am so thrilled for you, Jonna! You are going to be an amazing mother! Hope the puking abates…shoving donuts down your throat always helped me in that regard. Congratulations!!
113. Sarah | August 11th, 2008 at 10:10 am
Delurking for the first time to say I actually shrieked when I read this.. Congratulations!
114. Tessie | August 11th, 2008 at 10:47 am
AIEEEE!!!!! Holy SHIT and WHEEEEEE!
I had to skim. I am terrible sorry but I SKIMMED just as soon as I got to the sick part.
So, so thrilled. And not even with the typical you-dont-know-me-arent-I-a-creepy-internet-stalker disclaimer. Just thrilled. For you.
(yay!)
115. Tessie | August 11th, 2008 at 10:52 am
Aaaaand, I am BACK after reading the comments, unfortunately only to say that Totinos pizza rolls were the ONLY food that sounded good to me when I was feeling Pregnant Barfy. True story. I started buying those huge fucking suitcase-sized boxes at Costco.
PS-YAY!
116. Moose | August 11th, 2008 at 11:03 am

Congrats!

Ah yes, I remember such times. I never actually threw up, but could not bear the smell of pretty much every single food which was presented to me. For a couple of weeks it was all about kettle chips, feta cheese, and applesauce. That was it. Fun.
Congratulations. I hope the food aversions go away soon (they should), as that shit (can I say that?) gets old real fast. I look forward to fun! pregnancy! posts!

OMFG!!! Yay for horking up cereal when the cause is so delightful!
126. Jules | August 11th, 2008 at 2:03 pm
Hurrah! When I got to the food aversion part I got very suspicious of you… Congrats!
But seriously, that Jared establishment that you mentioned? What is it with the aroma in there? If you go into said establishment, even just getting food to go, the smell CLINGS to you for the rest of the day. And it’s not even a sandwich-y smell, really. What is it MADE of, that strange smell?
127. aly | August 11th, 2008 at 2:21 pm
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! congratulations! was curious what was going on with you and now i cannot wait to hear all the details.
(i imagine the “moon cup” following will be sad that that topic goes on hiatus for the next few months though).
YAAAAAY!!!!
128. JudithNYC | August 11th, 2008 at 2:24 pm
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!! This is really exciting!! I hope you feel better soon, but if you have to puke I hope you get the deal I got–me puking for months but perfect babies who slept through the night from the time they were 4 weeks old and never got sick except for colds.
129. Kristen | August 11th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
I don’t comment here very often, but I had to come out of hiding to let you know just how happy I am for you! I got tiny tears of joy in my eyes for you! Can’t wait to hear all about it!
130. Jessica | August 11th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
Congrats!!! How very exciting – when are you due?
131. Jessica | August 11th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
OMG I completely did not read the whole, “due in the beginning of March” crap. I am a fool.
132. Kathryn | August 11th, 2008 at 4:05 pm
Yaaaaaaaaaayy!!
Congrats to the both of you!
133. Mrs. CPA | August 11th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
I’m a long time feed reader unlurking. Congratulations! And let me just tell you, from my current pregnancy in the 100 million degree heat looking back on one that culminated in the birth of my son in March a few years ago, you are in for a much better time and so are your ankles. I hope the throwing up ends soon and everything else is smooth sailing!
134. thatgirlfromcolorado | August 11th, 2008 at 6:40 pm
Awwww! I got all squishy-feeling and teary when I read your post. Congratulations!!
I, a confirmed caffeine addict, could not abide the smell of coffee when I was pregnant. I had to hide in my office clutching a lavender aromatherapy candle, as far away as possible from from those brutal idiots brewing a fresh pot just down the hall.
(the aversions will recede soon. Before you know it you’ll be eyeballing a can of cheez whiz and thinking how good it’d be with … a corn dog. and maybe a squirt of Hershey’s syrup).
135. mar | August 11th, 2008 at 7:02 pm

Congrats to you both!!

Congratulations!!! Mazel Tov!!!
the smell of subway makes me want to vomit too, and I”m not even preggers. Back when I worked in advertising we had the subway acct, and the nearest store would set up a sandwich counter in our office every day, on my floor no less. So i had to endure that smell every.single.day. Blech!!!! What do they make their bread with, cause it smells Narsty!
143. chirky | August 12th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
