As most of you have probably noticed, Evan and I tend to keep quiet about our projects until we feel confident enough to announce them. We've been working on a pretty major collaboration for some time now, and keeping it quiet hasn't been easy, let me tell you. But, we're pretty confident that we'll be making our expected ship date this December so we feel it's high time to let you all in on what we've been working on. So, we're happy to finally announce our latest (and by far greatest) House of Fun project -- our daughter, due right before Christmas this year!
Yes, that's right, we're adding a new little staff member to the House of Fun studio. I'm just about 6 months along now, and she's super-healthy and doing great. I'm doing very well too, at least these days. If any of you remember, I was really ill this spring -- yup, that was because of this baby. I was severely ill with pregnancy sickness (let's not call it morning sickness because it was 24-hours-a-day sickness) for about the first 3-1/2 months, but thank goodness things have gone well ever since that finally ended.
But now you all know why we have been so scattered, stressed and overworked this year. (Not to mention getting rid of things as fast as we can -- this house is small!) I expect this pattern will be continuing for quite some time. Don't worry, I won't be boring everyone to death with the details of my crib comparison shopping or decisions over how many onesies one baby really needs. But since that sort of nonsense does take up quite a bit of my time these days, you can expect a lame posting frequency from me -- sorry about that!
Anyway, so that's what has really been going on around here for most of 2004. Many mysteries are becoming clear, aren't they? ^_^ Thanks to everyone who has been supportive and just generally nice to us this year (and always) -- it all helped us get through the tough days!
Thats great news! Congratulations to both of you.

ReplyDeleteYou cannot have too many onesies.
Also, any clothes you really like you should get no smaller than a size 1, because kids grow so fast.
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. Best wishes for all 3 of you. Stock up on your sleep now while you can.
ReplyDeleteSo, uh, there going to be a limited dealer edition with gold foil cover? :)
ReplyDeleteIf you'd put a wok over my scalp and whanged it repeatedly with a wooden spoon, you would have surprised me one nth of the amount I am surprised by this news. And I certainly wouldn't be as happy about it. Congratulations, you two cool cats. Soon be three!
ReplyDeleteAll these comments and no one thinks to ask about names. Got any? Too many? How about a naming contest?

ReplyDeleteI'm so very, very happy for the two of you, Sarah. And you guys already keep the sort of hours that will be perfect for those night-long crying jags. And once Evan's done with those, there's the baby's as well.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see her working the table at MoCCA next year.
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteNow Evan will have an inker!
wow, congratulations! i'm sure your baby will be quite possibly one of the coolest and most talented people ever, as she'll come from such cool and talented parents. ^^
ReplyDeleteHoly good gravy! A baby!
ReplyDeleteMiss Sarah, I am so proud and happy for you. That's great! Amy and I had pondered a few times if you two were ever going to have a child. I'm excited to see how pretty she'll be. You'll def have to post pictures.
Oh, and I can't wait to see Evan's rendition of the delivery day in one of his comics ^_^.
Congratulations, kids!!
