THEIR Bad Mother
(It's early days, but I'm sharing anyway. Because so many of you figured out that my anniversary message to my husband was coded. Also, because it's all that I can think about, and how am I not supposed to write about it? Also, because our realtor knows, and if he knows, why shouldn't you?)

woohoo! congratulations!
Yippee!!!! Congratulations to you all!
Will you be changing the name of your blog to TheirBadMother????
Congratulations!
Congratulations! My very best wishes for a happy, healthy, uneventful 9 months. And just to show I mean it, I won't even tell you my "second child born in car" story.
okay - now it's time for me to confess. i stumbled on your blog awhile ago but was never sure how to tell you as i felt like i was tip toeing around in places where i hadn't been invited. and well, i hadn't been invited. that, of course, has not stopped me from being an avid reader and huge fan of your written work. i'm obsessed really...but not in a weird stalker sort of way...more a friendly, curious, wow - i wish i could express myslef that way, sort of stalker.
whole-hearted congratulations from your neighbours across the street! i don't think we'll be far behind you, although we won't know for another week yet!
god, i REALLY REALLY hope this doesn't totally weird you out and make you not want to say hello on the street! :) or like, move your blog to a new address to hide.
- S, M and Mister Jakob
As I say sometimes to PunditGirl, "You're a sneaky pete!" I had a feeling there was something more going on there -- congratulations!! :)
Um yeah, I figured we three + was a message, but I don't know you well enough to call you out :) congrats to you
Wow!!!
Congratulations!!! I'm so excited for you.
PS on a totally selfish note - I'm pregnant too - and beyond excited to know that you'll be blogging about it and I won't feel so alone. (I'm already scared)
Totally figured it out, but you know I didn't want to say anything!
Congrats! I am definitely feeling the urge....
Congratulations :) I am so happy for you. Wishing you a safe and happy time x
Wahoo! :) I just thought that I was too hungover to "get it" when I read yesterday's post. I knew I was missing something... important... but it was beyond me.
Their Bad Mother, huh? Wow....
Congrats! We are currently on the fence about # (gulp) 4.

Congratulations!!! Wonderbaby will be a great older sister.
I soooo did not figure out it was coded.
I am so very happy for you.
Um. Are you moving out of the West end? I think that needs to be discussed to see if it meets with the West End Girls Blogging Committee.
;)
Very cool.
Take care of y'all. I hope to be right behind you.
congrats! you know, I wondered about that anniversary poem...
Oh!!!! Congratulations!
That's wonderful!!!!
Woohoo!!! I am so excited for you all. Congrats, Catherine. This is great.
Ooh. I had wondered about your anniversary message, but didn't want a raging case of foot in mouth.
Congratulations congratulations congratulations! This is so fantastic for your family.
And are you leaving the west end? We, too, are on the fence about that decision right now. Sigh.
Yay!! Congratulations! How exciting!
Congratulations!
So happy for you (and just a little jealous!)
Kelly
congratulations, knew something was up but definitely did not figure it out. look foward to reading about their bad mother! maybe one day I will be courageous enough to blog myself :)
congratulations, and on being brave enough to tell all too. I've never been able to keep it quiet for long enough to get to the magical 12 weeks either!
wohoo! I thought so! Congrats! Hurray for you 4!
Gulp! That's a bright line, that is!
Congratulations! Ain't life grand?
Holy shit, that's awesome. Congrats. You know, I've been wondering, but I wasn't going to be the one to ask.
Seriously, congrats. I'm so happy for you all.
Holy crap!
Congratulations!
What WONDERFUL news!
Congratulations!
Hey, that's great!
Pink always looks best through those two windows.
Warmest congratulations to you and your family! Babies rock.
Wow! Congratulations!
I was writing you a heartfelt note of congratulations and then Henry hit the Shiny! Blue! Button! and turned the whole computer off. Again.
I'm really excited for all of you. And WonderBaby will become WonderSister.
Congratulations!!! That is great news. Hope you have a healthy and easy pregnancy!
Congratulations THEIR bad mother!!! That is very exciting (and I'm a teensy bit jealous).
Congratulations!!
Congrats!!! Having two kids means there will be four times as much mess and a billion times more love.
Congratulations!
Congratulations! Having two kids is SO much fun!
Congratulations! I sort of wondered about that message (and you not feeling like blogging/being preoccupied). Looks like there will be a whole slew of babies at BlogHer this summer!
Congrats!!!! I'm so excited for you and your family! Mazel Tov!
Shash
I did wonder! I am so glad for you.
Oh, awesome! Congratulations! I have a daughter about a month younger than Wonderbaby. Then I had twins! Heh. maybe you'll be so lucky...anyway, here's to a wonderful, easy pregnancy! It'll be fun chasing that girl around...
and I was so busy being mesmerized by your beauty that I didn't look for code. congratulations! having 2 is totally fun!
You make pretty babies. You should make more. So good on ya. And a hearty congrats!
Wa-fricken-hooooooo!!! xoxo to ALL of you. :)
Congratulations!
That is one definitive second line.
I have to admit I wondered when I read your anniversary post. Congratulations again and again and again, my dear friend.
Ha! I wondered about that PLUS...
Congrats, lady. Shall I start cooking a post for MBT about welcoming a new baby, then?
Yeah! Welcome, Baby! Can't wait to meet WonderSibling...
Such wonderful news! I am sure you are radiant right now!
Congratulations!!
How exciting! Congrats to you and family!
Wow! I will join in as well and say congratulations!
Yes, was that really coded? Cuz, y'know, it didn't seem all that coded.
Heh.
Happy Happy! You'll love having two, I promise.
Wooo congrats!!
So I take it you need more space?
That bathroom just got finished.
You know what this means don't you?
NEW BLOG DESIGN.
(heh)
Congrats 4000000 times over.
xoxox
So cool! Congratulations.
I had this feeling...
CONGRATULATIONS!!
Congratulations! :D
Well, look at all those congratulations above me! Let's add one more to the mix, shall we?
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Yay! Congratulations!
Wow! Congratulations!!
Woo HOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Congratulations, Catherine. What fabulous news!
I think Their Bad Mother has a very nice ring to it.
That's wonderful! Congratulations!
Congratulations! Now that your little girl is a WonderGirl, it is time to have another WonderBaby!
Sweet!
DUDE! Suh-weet! Congratulations!
Hah I knew it! Congratulations and what a nice anniversary surprise. :)
Congratulations!! I may lurk a lot but some good baby news can always make a mom come out of hiding.
Congratulations!!!!
Why, just the other day I was wondering whether you would change the name of your blog once #2 came around...
Yeah!!! My happiest congrats to you!!
I'm a blogger but posting this one anonymously. Seems like we have 2 things in common. Anniversaries and pregnancies. (You can probably figure out who I am but who wants to go to that much trouble really?)
I haven't announced on my blog yet as it is also very early for me. I figure I'm due May 30. What about you?
Oh yeah...CONGRATULATIONS!
Congratulations, Bad. Now that is something to celebrate.
I should have read this post first. Congratulations!!!
Aw, y'all warm the heart!!!
More news on the real estate later. NOT moving to the east side (although, it depends upon how one defines 'east'). Due late May, I think. Haven't had the math formalized yet.
!!!!!!!!!!
Is it bad that I am very happy it's you and not me?
What lovely lines. Congratulations!
Genuine, if it were you it'd be a miracle of science. And, there'd be excessive tearing of your nether regions and you prolly couldn't handle it. So. Not bad at all.
Congratulations!!
(the whole internet is pregnant, I swear)
WHOO HOO! Let the sequel begin!
Congrats! Welcome to the world of multiple kids. Start stocking up on coffee.
Ohmygosh! Congrats gorgeous!
I'm ridiculously happy for you and grinning like a fool. But, whoa. Why is everyone suddenly getting pregnant? And oh my god, what if I catch it??
Anyway, back to me being happy and sitting here smiling like an idiot. Wheee!
I love myself a good baby! Congratulations!!!!!
WOO HOO! Congrats!!!
What wonderful news and no I didn't figure it out either.
Congratulations!!
well, I was clueless...
Congratulations! That's lovely news.
Holy Crap, Batman!
I totally missed this!
Congrats!
And, may I be the 88th to wish you congratulations? Yes, I may.
Break a leg!
Happy happy joy joy!!
If YOU'RE pregnant, how come I am hyperventilating??
Congrats.
Wow, great news! Congratulations!
holy crap! congratulations, lady!
Mazel tov! (what more can I say?)
I now look like at idiot grinning at my laptop in a dark hotel room, typing quietly so as not to wake the Magpie - but I can't let this slide! CONGRATS!! :)
OMG!!! Congratulations! This is awesome! I'm so happy for you!
and someone is right... all the internet is pregnant!
i would just like to point out that i was the first commenter on that last post to bring that up, thankyouverymuch. many congrats to you and the whole bad family. :)
I blame (credit really) the RV camping trip. Nothing like 29 feet of Class C motorhome to set the mood.
Oooh, congrats. And I love HBF's comment above. Classic ;) Just don't name the baby Winnebago.
Well if anyone can blow my theory -- twice the children, half the blog -- it's you honey. Then again WTF didn't I have you penciled in for drinks next month???? Right Da Babies screw me again!
I am SO HAPPY for you all.
ps... Little Rabbit's New Baby is a must, just in case Kittenpie forgets.. But I recommend setting the stage with the Day the Babies Crawled Away (often special order, but worth it nonetheless) ... She gonna be some big sister!
And here I had been hoping I could recommend a realtor in the West but the hints seem to point elsewhere.
boo hoo.
Wow! I hope it's not contagious! (EEK!) CONGRATS!
Welcome to the two club! :-D Congrats to y'all!!
WOOHOO!! Congratulations! What exciting and wonderful news, thanks for sharing! :)
Pascale
GOD, I'm jealous! I mean, happy for YOU, of course. WAY happy for you. In an aching, wistful way. Congratulations.
Congratulations HBM. I'm very happy for all three of you.
Congratulations!
I've never been good at the whole coded thing. Damn.
Congratulations!
NOOOOO WAAAAAAY!
Heartiest and happiest congratulations, Catherine. I'm SO excited for you (and them, too!)!
Woot! Congratulations!!
Oh hooray! Congratulations Catherine! I'm absolutely thrilled for you.
Congratulations! That anniversary post did seem kinda suspicious, but since I don't know you all that well, I didn't want to say anything. Have you told Wonderbaby yet?
Fantastic! Congratulations, I am jealous!
Oh congratulations! This is awesome news!
Congrats!
fantastic news, Catherine!
:)
How wonderful! I thought (and hoped) that might be what was going on. Congratulations to the whole Bad Mother family!
Congratulations, Catherine! That is wonderful news!!
oh YOU! i thought so...plus one.
YOU! nicely done!
Awesome news! Congrats to you and the family.
i know i don't reply much but i stop by everday, congratulations!!! we just brought home our new baby benjamin andrew a week ago, so we are now a family of 4 as well( with a 2 yr old, lord help me) welcome to the club!
Congratulations!
I'm so happy for you! Thrilled! I'm off to get uber, yummy recipes for non-alcoholic martini's...
Congratulations! WB is gonna be the coolest big sister evah!
Congratulation!
It's funny your say you Realtor knows. When we were looking for a house our options change when we found out we were expecting our new addition and we told our Realtor before others.
Congrats! Loved the anniversary message, BTW.
And now we know what that stomach bug really was ;) Congrats!
Congratulations! I can only imagine that reading about your pregnancy will be a riot.
Huge congratulations to Wonderbaby, as well!
Congratulations, HBM! (And family!)
Congrats!!!
The second is always easier then the first.. you already know what your doing.
Wishing you an uneventful and slightly comfortable 9 months!
SQUEEEEE!
Congratulations!
Congratulations!! Wonderful news!
Congratulations and best of luck to your growing family! I'm only 1 month into the adventure of having two, but it's much easier the second time around so far!
Hooray! Congratulations.
Ahhhhh!!! CONGRATULATIONS! Oh. my. god. So so so excited for you over here!!!!!
A big congrats from NYC!!!
I absolutely am ROTFL at your blog...it's one of my favorites!!!
Figured since your 10 million cyber friends know, you might as well tell darling hubby!
oh, and that would mean a GEMINI child...be prepared...very prepared...oh my!
With friendship,
Lisa

Congratulations!
(Glad you're joining the club!)
Geez oh petes, what did they put in the blogger water? There's so many of you pregnant.
congratulations! (from the tube-tied 44 year old...)
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Congrats, Catherine and family!
Congratulations!
woo-hoo!
woo-hoo, from me too!
Yeah I totally missed that, and you so bah and tired and SYMPTOMATIC and all.
Dude.
So WOO HOO and CONGRATS to you!!!!

Using My Words
Yay! Congratulations! Race ya'!

Hooorayyyy!!! I definitely got that in your anniversary message. :)
I thought so! Woot! Congratulations, Catherine, I am so very very happy for the lot of you.
YEAY! SO happy and excited for you all!
Woohoo!! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!
You know, I was wondering about that part of the anniversary message, but I figured I was just reading too much into it.
So excited for you all.
congrats! such wonderful news.
Well done, Catherine, well done!
Congratulations!
AHHH! congratulations HBM!
Congrats to you! Just when you think there is no possible way you can love anyone as much as you love WonderBaby, along comes # 2, and you are shocked to learn that your heart just keeps growing to make room!
Hope you have a smooth pregnancy!
Can't wait to read your blogs as a mother of 2. Life becomes more than twice as crazy! But also more than twice as amazing!!
Congrats.
Congrats! Many warm wishes for an easy and healthy pregnancy.
Congratulations!
Maybe now they'll take pity on you in your newborn haze and won't Put Stuff On Their Bad Mother next year at BlogHer. ;)
May the pregnancy go swimmingly.
Late to the party, but congrats and best wishes!
Congratulations! Wishing you sticky, big belly, healthy easy pregnancy thoughts.
160th to say Congratulations! That is wonderful news!
Wow. Just...wow.
(((HUGS)))
Holy smokes!
A happy and healthy 9 months and beyond!
Awesome! 2 is exasperating, impossible, delightful, joyous, insane, and so much friggin' fun. Congratulations!
Fabulous! Congratulations!
I have been off the radar for a while, sorry I missed this (but I guess if your realtor knew before everyone else anyway, then...hey what's a few days?!).
x
yay Bad! and HBF!
may it be a long, dull, and happy pregnancy. :)
Woo hoo! 2 is sooooo much fun, really!
Congratulations!
Congratulations! I am so excited for you!
Yah, Bossy figured... she just didn't say anything because she was being discreet. For once.
First we share the same anniversary now we are both newly pregnant? Are you trying to be me?
Congrats : )!
Oh, grrrl...what happy news!
Big congratulations. And a happy anniversary! Our tenth is coming up next month as well.

Oh Catherine - what wonderful news- for all of you!

How wonderful! Congratulations!
P.S. I have to admit that I still didn't get the post title until just this second. Now I get it!!!! WhoooOOOOoooOOO HoooOOOOOOoooOOO!
Oh my goodness this is so incredible! I am so so so so so so so happy for you (and annoying for typing so many so's).
Congrats to your wonderful circle of 3+.
Hooray!
Wow! I hope your swim is a relaxing one, and the shore definitely worth the wait. Congratulations! And just look at all these people wishing you well!
Congratulations you badass mama you!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yay!
Woo hoo!!!! Congratulations! Awesome, awesome news. Very happy for you, their bad mother.
best wishes and super congrats!! eeeee!!!
I'm glad I am not the only one who posts pictures of sticks that they've peed on on their blog!
Congrats! We will be due around the same time :)
is it weird that i looked at the pregnancy test and got all teary? i think so.
God bless and congratulations. two babies so double the fun for us readers. let me tell you from this side of the fence.. two babies are the greatest!
Congratulations!!!!!!
WOW! Congratulations!
First time around we are all scared to talk lest we jinx things. This time we know that no matter how it goes we'll want to talk about it.
Congratulations and the best of luck to you.
Wow. Enjoy! The second pregnancy goes too fast!
I am so late to the party -- but still had to throw in my congratulations! So happy for you, my friend.
Goodness..>Where have I been?????
Congratulations to you...
Oh happy day! Congratulations!
wow!!! congrats to you and hubby!
now, what will you do about the blog name? :)
MOTR - I think that the blog name will stay the same. TBM doesn't have the same ring as HBM. But we'll see - Her Bad Mother (squared)? His'n'Her Bad Mother?
Wonderful news! I'm slow, see, having just weathered the whole October thing, but am pleased for you, nonetheless.
