Amid all this talk about hurricanes, the Hurricanes, and other miscellaneous topics of interest, there’s one truly momentous news story — of a rather more personal nature — that I’ve been sitting on for some time. I hinted at it in a P.S. back in April, and at least one of you guessed it, but I’ve been waiting to announce it until I had more complete information, and until I was 100% certain that I had permission of the parties involved to reveal all of said information. Now, both of those criteria have been met, so I can finally tell you all…
Shannon’s having a baby!!!
I give Shannon a congratulatory hug after learning the big news.
Shannon, one of Becky’s bridesmaids and SHA girls and one of our dearest friends, and her boyfriend P.J. are expecting! (P.J. is a really great guy. He’s the one with glasses standing directly behind me in this picture, which was taken a few minutes after Shannon told us the news.) The soon-to-be Mom and Dad both very excited.
Shannon is nearly five months pregnant now. They already know the sex of their baby — it’s a boy! — and I just found out today that they’ve picked a name, the name that the SHA girls were lobbying heavily for: Logan! (No word on whether the sonogram indicated the presence of any adamantium. :)
Here’s a pair of photos that we took while maternity shopping with Shannon back in late April — when she wasn’t yet four months pregnant. With the pillow and without the pillow:
Hehe. :)
I forget Shannon’s exact due date, but it’s sometime in late September, which should make for a very busy few weeks in SHA girl world, considering Marissa and Keith are getting married on October 7!
Anyway… so now you know. Hooray for Logan! :)

which directly behind you? Air Force or glasses? Both could be construed as behind you…

In case Shannon actually gets online to read this, congratulations. I hope he brings you great joy.

Hooray! We need more white babies! And since mine will almost assuredly be brown, you (and Becky and Brendan!!!) need to pick up the slack!
