Well, as though Whatsit Jr. weren’t enough to keep us occupied these days, I seem to have gone and got myself into a family way again. Even though this one was as planned as planned can be (I even started insulin shots three months ago in preparation), I’m still feeling just as nervous and scared and excited and panicked as last time. “We need a bigger place! A nicer car! We’re not ready! Yaaaaarrrrrrrrgh!” Although, everything miraculously seemed to work out last time, so I am optimistic. Now I just need to figure out a Doper name to assign the new one! MiniWhatsit? BabyWhatsit? Decisions, decisions… The due date is sometime in late February so I guess I have 8 months, give or take a few weeks, to pull myself together. Yikes! ---

Well… only if you’re diabetic and need to get your blood sugar under control like I did. 🙂 ---

Congrats! And since MiniWhatsit was planned, you can’t use the term a friend of mine uses for his third, Baby Oops. 😃 (Although I like **Scotticher** ’s suggestion of _Whatsitoo_ a lot, too.) ---

Cool! I like Who Dat? But you have to be a NO Saints fan (or maybe live in the area) to understand the joke. So, I’ll have to go with Whatzitoo. Oh, serious baby jones going on here… planning, planning, hope to follow you soon! 🙂 ---

Wow, there really is something in the SDMB drinking water, huh? Well, a hearty congrats, and a vote for Whatzitoo, too. ---

Well look who got visited by the Fertility Fairy! Congratulations on getting knocked up! 😃 And good luck and an easy gestational period, too! Lessee… suggestions suggestions – **whatsitspud** or **Whoosit** or, my personal favorite, **itsybitsywhatsit** ---
