Sideshow & Syrana

I think the lil one will love these, don’t you?  I mean, I didn’t buy them for myself….

Huzzah! Eastern Kingdoms complete.

I didn’t even finish Booty Bay’s available quests, nor did I go into Blackrock Mountain… I have a TON of left over Eastern Kingdoms quests.

Now Kalimdor… I have around 20ish left to complete and I’m struggling (STRUGGLING, I tell ya!) to find them.  It’s nuts.  I’m checking out the listing of hard to find quests on the WoW forums as well as using the addon Everyquest.  I think there are some more Booty Bay quests that will have parts of their chains go over to Kalimdor and count there.

At least I hope so.

*frets*

Forsaken!

Now, if only we could determine for sure if Baby is waving, throwing the horns, or flipping us off…

(No, we still don’t know the sex yet.  Should know what kind of gear Baby’s equipped with at our next ultrasound in 4 weeks.)

The people of Stromgarde don’t bother with posting “No Trespassing” signs.  Instead they post warnings like this:

Sometimes I wonder if bank alts get cold when retrieving the mail…

A happy Mother’s Day to all of you mothers and mothers-to-be out there.  But today’s post is dedicated to just one mother.

The biggest mother of them all (in Azeroth, anyhow).

And some would say the hottest MILF evah.

Sideshow and I have an announcement.  We feel it is time to share this news with everyone (and I suspect it will further explain my hiatus and reduced posting beyond all the work hullabaloo).

We are -or rather, I am- expecting.  For those of you that are still confused: I’m knocked up, preggers, with child, etc.

That’s right, there was a reason for all the cutesy screenshots lately.  Now, just mix the two photos together from last week, and if it creates something adorable… that will be our child.

I am sorry to have kept this secret until now, but what perfect timing… to end the first (and scariest) trimester just as Children’s Week begins.  No, this doesn’t mean I’ll stop gaming or blogging.  Just, those things will be more sporadic than in the past, understandably so.  And, no, I won’t turn this into a mommy-to-be blog.  (Although, don’t be surprised at some baby updates along the way.  No fussin’ either.  These hormones can’t be controlled once the rage rises.  Got it?)

Oh right, we need a screenshot…

I know, it’s hard to decipher this thing.  Heck, it’s tough for me and it’s my baby’s first screenshot! (Well, it is a screenshot…)  The big round part is NOT the baby, it’s the yolk sac.  The tiny little blur between the arrows is the baby at 6 weeks.  We’re 6 more beyond that and it has grown, but we haven’t had a new ultrasound yet.  We did hear the heartbeat for the first time this week though!

*squees*

Anywho, yes, in another 8ish weeks we’ll be having another ultrasound so we can tell if we’re having a Horde or Alliance baby.  At that time we’ll be able to tell if the baby is wielding a battle axe or simply wearing a sissy robe.

Also, I realize this baby has been created by a Blood Elf and a Forsaken.  Let the Undead baby jokes commence!

Last week I featured the cutest baby ever, an infant Taunka.  This week I’m bringing you an adorable human boy and elven girl.  (I told you I was excited about the upcoming Children’s Week!)

Sideshow: Before he got all Undead.

Syrana: Before her elf ears grew in.

I know, I know, it seems all I’ve been able to manage posting recently is screenshots.  Well, it’s a good sign really.  It means I’m not completely lost in IRL.  Sometimes, when my routine changes for a chunk  o’ time, it can be hard to shift back again…. but I’m working on it.

Anyway, I’m totally looking forward to Children’s Week.  For some crazy reason, it is one of my FAVORITE in-game holidays (behind the Midsummer Fire Festival).  Now, I just wish we could… y’know… adopt more NPC offspring.

D'awww
