BlogHer ’10 Festivities – Day 2

Aug 07th 2010

Today was the official start of the BlogHer Conference.  I woke up early, got a shower, and headed down to the Newbie Breakfast where I met Danielle from Momotics for some chow.  After that, I finally met OuttaJo and we all headed over to the opening speech where they announced that next year’s BlogHer Conference will be in San Diego.  Wooooot!  Dolphins, here we come!

CheckOutMyBunz

I've gotten a million compliments on my awesome FuzziBunz t-shirt.

Then I ran into EcoChic and got her on video loving the purple FuzziBunz Cloth Diaper that I gave her.  If you’re at BlogHer 10, you’ve still got time to come snag a FuzziBunz from me! And don’t forget to enter the raffle to win a lifetime supply of FuzziBunz or a Flip UltraHD™ Video Camera courtesy of my amazing sponsor!

Then I poked around the Expo Hall and picked up bags full of swag from companies like Assets, Nickelodeon, and Mission.  That was tiresome so I headed back to the room to decompress.  I’ve been outstandingly exhausted and truly had to get a little cat nap or I wasn’t going to make it to the parties later.

At 6:00 I hopped in a cab with Jill, Danielle, and BabyMakingMachine and headed to what turned out to be a completely boring party.

I mean, oh, except I got this in the bathroom.

Positive Pregnancy Test

That's a Positive Pregnancy Test Right There

I had been meaning to take a pregnancy test, so I grabbed one from the Duane Read across the street from where the party was.  I told the girls that I was going to pop into the bathroom to take the test so I knew whether I could get hammered or not.  Jill gave me a look like “Oh Gina, you so Cuh-RAzy.” My husband called me as I was sitting on the toilet ripping the test open, and listened while my heart hung in my throat as the two blue lines showed up on the stick.   He had bad reception so I had to yell “It’s POSITIVE!!!!” at the top of my lungs in the ladies room.  Luckily, he was at a rock club that was just a few blocks from the party we were at, so he hopped over and we had our own celebration.

And now, I go to bed.  Have to be up in 7 hours to do it all over again.  Feel free to squeeeeeee your congrats to me in the comments section.  I’m absolutely beaming with pregnancy excitement right now and cannot concentrate on anything else except visualizing the next 9 months.  I need lots and lots of sticky baby vibes too.

Congrats!! I just heard from Melody at Breastfeeding Moms Unite that you are expecting!! How exciting! -- Judy

Yay! THat is awesome! My daughter is only 6.5 months old and I'm already counting down the months until I should get pregnant again. I'd like to get some ab muscles back first and pay off some bills....but after that it's anyone's guess..

Congratulations!

(And...I am, too! Just took the test tonight!)

Hoping and praying for both our babes.

Oh, I'm pulling for "pink" too!

Just wanted to say congrats on the impending arrival! I'm a newbie to your page, but I've been trying for about 7 months now for my first, with no luck thus far, and I'm happy to see someone else having their dream realized!

Oh, and I think your blog is both awesome and hilarious! Keep up the awesome work, and feel well!

Congratulations! So happy for you!

Congratulations, how wonderful! I'm looking forward to reading all about your pregnancy and birth in the months to come.

I'm hoping to see a similar positive pregnancy test by the end of the week, so could you please send some of those (girl) baby vibes my way, too? :-)

WOO HOO GINA! Congrats! I don't know if we're ever going to have another, but if we do I sure hope I get to have the super-excited yay moment the next go around. If I'm this totally excited for you, I might pass out from the excitement.

Congrats! With my first child I took a pregnancy test in a restaurant bathroom and it wasn't quite the happy experience you're having but I'm so happy it did happen in the end.

SQUEEEE!! Congrats and what a way to find out :) That's a story to pass down.. Well son/daughter, I was at this blog conference/party and..

And that shirt does totally rock, I must say.

What did I friggin tell you Gina! Oh my GOD I just gave my husband a heart attack screaming/squealing in glee for you. Seriously. I haven't been this happy about someone's pregnancy in ages. You score with the first blog post I've read today announcing San Diego for next year too. I so have to make that work since it's on the west coast. Yippee! Oh, it's a good day!! Congratulations girl!! I will dine at brunch in celebration for you today. Big big hugs. xxx

Congratulations! I'm thinking PINK for you! :)

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!! Whooo hooo!! Fingers crossed for a lovely squidgy healthy baby (hopefully with little girl genes, too).

Now send me happy baby #2 vibes for when we start trying next month. :)

So happy for you Gina!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations! It took us 6 months this time around, so I know where you're coming from. I had a negative blood test 8 DPO, right before a vacation to Florida. Decided to wait for the flo before having some cocktails... 7 days later, still nothing. Took the home test, and it was positive in about 5 seconds. Finally!!!

What a wonderful surprise! Sticky vibes your way. And pink. All babies are fabulous, but I know you'd be over the moon to have a girl!!!

Thanks Gina! I'm glad I finally got to meet you. I hope you are having a fabulous time - and OMG - CONGRATS on the preggers test! Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy!

SQUEEEEEE!!!! I know I've already said it on twitter :) but I am so very very excited for you!!

Come on Stick Baby!! ::sticky vibes your way::

Kiki Dawn

Yay!! I'm SOOOOO excited for you guys!! I seriously teared up when I saw the 2 blue lines! (Pregnancy hormones.. lol). Sending you LOTS and LOTS of sticky baby vibes!!!

*Try* (key word here.. lol) to take it easy in NYC!! Good luck with the rest of the BlogHer conference! I am LOVING your updates!

CONGRATS!!!!!!! :-)

(Also, I think they should stock pregnancy tests in those little vending machines in bar/restaurant restrooms. Seriously. I mean, yeah it's trashy - not gonna deny that - but dude how awesome would it be to have that convenience and then go get schnackered guilt-free?)

- Kate, the Kween of Klass.

Congratulations - this has been quite the summer for you!

I'm already waiting to hear about your birth plans . . .

About freaking time. Congrats!

oh how exciting!! before I found out with this pregnancy, I only tested b/c I was planning to drink, too! I swear the baby was like, uh-uh Mommy! (shaking it's head) ROFL!! ;)

Congratulations! I have been following you for a while, really glad you are pregnant at last!!
