Three Imaginary Girls and one very real, small one {on the way}
Submitted by imaginary dana on August 8, 2007.I have an official imaginary announcement to make.
{awkward pause}
In the immortal words of one of my least favorite records of the year, I'm all knocked up!
{she says, blushing furiously}
So if you see me looking a bit larger and drinking soda water at shows, that's why. My fella and I are expecting sometime just after the turn of the year, and yes, she's a girl!
We're thinking of adjusting the TIG logo*** accordingly...
{*grin*}
*** Thanks to Rachel for surprising me with this logo!!

Awww, thanks you guys! Definitely yes to the drumkit, the Thermals, Bright Eyes, and the poster (!!!!!).
Apparently the wee one's ear bones have just finished forming this week, so she can hear now! Time to definitely start piping in the good tunes.

CONGRATS!!! I'm so excited for you guys. I'm not sure if you got my email. But, Theresa and I are "trying" right now, too. So, maybe our kids can have rock-n-roll play dates. ;)

Betsy @ 22:
I'm not sure about Rocket, it makes me think of some sort of doll or teen Disney pop sensation
I actually thought Apple was an adorable name. I don't see why people thought it was so weird.
I just hope Dana doesn't go with Amy, of the Winehouse variety

As for names, Papa wants to name her Mos Eisley. As in, "You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy."
If you know our surname, the name gets even better.
We're also considering throwing in "Danger" a a middle name... you know, so she can say, "Danger is my middle name."
Also, Rocket, yes.
Probably not Amy, though we surely know some lovely Amy's in our lives... :)

Totally!!! She's just now gotten her sense of hearing, so I'm gonna expose her to many shows while she's got natural built-in fluid earplugs. Woot!

OMG - this explains so much of the weird "I'm not drinking, pass the organic produce my way, does this shirt make me look big" things you've been saying lately!
CONGRATS!
What will her first Thermals song be? I think that she's going to love "Back to Gray."
Don't worry, I'll only play Bright Eyes for her with your permission (or if she asks).
