We’re Having A Baby
Well, it’s probably the worst kept secret of our lives, but just so the whole world knows:
…and we’re both really excited. We had our first doctor’s visit this afternoon and everything looks great! So, around late August the whole world will get to know baby Coleman-Dyer (or Dyer-Coleman, we’re still working that out).
We’ve been dying to tell everyone, and lord knows Angela’s spilled the beans enough, but just wanted to wait out the until going to see the doctor. We’re both really neurotic like that, as you all know. However, I’ve been posting stuff here and elsewhere online over the past few weeks for my own sanity. Just look back through my Flickr account or here for anything tagged ‘baby.’ No, you didn’t miss it before. It was just all marked as private until tonight.
It’s so weird, I’ve never been actually nervous about writing a blog post before but I am now. I’m not even really sure why, but I am. We were really nervous when we told family, too. It’s just such big news (good news, though) and we really have no idea how to tell people. Everyone has been really excited for us and we’re just as excited to share the news.
Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!

Congrats! Although I still dislike the phrase “We’re pregnant.” Two new Dyers coming this year. Thats rather exciting. :)

For what it’s worth, the “we’re” part is from Angela. She claims this is all my fault and somehow I have to take responsibility for it… :)

Yay, that’ll be a cute baby. Chris and I are very happy for you two.
Scott (whoever you are, nice to meet you), I’ll post some links if needed to show you how these things tend to happen.

OMGGGGGGG!!! YAY!! So happy for you two! Call me back!

Zane: Thanks. I suppose once it’s born I’ll stop claiming that all newborns look like tortured, hairless monkeys. I’m sure I’ll think it’s the cutest thing in the world, even if everyone else wonders quietly how human genes could do such a thing…
Sally: We’ll definitely call you back. We were out of town the past few days. Looking forward to play dates with Mason in the not-to-distant future.

Where are you from?
My grandfather was Coleman Atwell Dyer. I was told by an aunt that the Colemans and the Dyers came over together but have found no proof of this. But I do find a number of Dyer-Coleman associations.
My Dyer family has been in VA from before 1720.
I would appreciate knowing any of your family history.
Thanks! And much happiness with your baby!
