Well this Dragon Con may well see a slightly chubbier Swan and Katse than usual..... Ive just discovered I'm expecting. This is gods way of laughing at me as I'd just pursuaded a few of my convention going friends to save for Comic Con next year to join in with the Gatcha fun. Thats now out the window. Of course I had a talk from my mum about how I couldnt go 'galavanting' all over the place any more to these 'funny get togethers' . Of course I took this on board, then found out Ben Browder from Farscape was appearing at an event in June, so ignored her and booked some tickets.

WOW!! Congratulations, Veritas! You don't have to grow up too much, and now you have a good excuse to use for those "cartoons" you love! And of course, you'll now be able to add to the new generation of Gatch fans! I'm so happy for you!

Congratulations! I'm sure cosplay costumes are easier to make in child sizes

Oh congratulations, sweetheart!!! When are you due? How are you feeling? Oh this is wonderful news!!

Congratulations Veritas. Just imagine ... in a few years you can go wandering those 'funny get togethers' with your little Swan or Eagle.

Congratulations, Veritas! I know the logistics get more complex, but surely some "galavanting" to "funny get togethers" is still possible with a small child, and I'm sure you'll enjoy introducing him or her to your favourite hobbies and fandoms.

Congratulations Veritas! I am sure your little one will enjoy going with you to the comic con etc not to mention getting to play dress up. Most kids when they are young love doing that. So how are you feeling? When is it due?

Congratulations Veritas! You must feel very proud. I wish you all the best!

What exciting news!!! Congratulations!!! I'm sure your baby birdie will not have any objections to his/her mommy going out to play!

Thanks all. I'm only 5 weeks so not due till Jan 2010. Ony found out after I'd been to an army Rugby match last weekend and spent the day in the beer tent, ooopps. Had to knock the diet on the head and tone down the kickboxing, but I'll be 22 weeks at Dregon con, hoping it wont be too obvious and I can hide behind cloaks and wings.

Congratulations, Veritas! That sounds wonderful! I'm so happy for you! FWIW, the year my DD was born, and the year after, my DH and I realized we couldn't take a big vacation. So we ended up driving down to Pasadena for the massive Star Trek convention they hold there every year. We had tons of fun, and it was relatively easy with a younger baby. Now a rampaging toddler is another story. I know you'll do great! FWIW, I vacationed when I was about 20 weeks pg with my DD, and I had just barely passed the indefinable line from people thinking 'she's a bit chubby' to 'she's pregnant'. So I wasn't that big yet. BTW, I highly recommend this book. http://www.amazon.com/Girlfriends-Guide-Pregnancy-Vicki-Iovine/dp/141652472X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1241891909&sr=8-1 It's awesome!!!

Congratulations, Veritas! What exciting news! No reason for you to skip any of the Cons - you need to get your new baby involved from the very start!

CONGRATS Veritas. Let the next generation of fans continue.

I remember my first convention.

Congratulations Veritas Great news!
