It's been a few weeks since Richelle revealed her amazing news. You caught it, right? :D
Excited to announce my husband & I are having a baby in August-the same week Bloodlines, Succubus Revealed, & the VA graphic novel come out!
This is such wonderful news, and we're extending our warmest congratulations to Richelle and her husband!
Of course, this unfortunately means readers are going to see less of her for a while. Richelle writes about that in her subsequent blog post. For example there won't be any signing tours for Succubus Revealed or Bloodlines, seeing as the baby is expected around the same time as the books are released. :-)
The celebratory tweets that followed, from Richelle's author friends, were so funny that I couldn't resist compiling them in this blog post. There are quite a few of them, but I hope you'll enjoy them all:
The pacifier that Richelle tweeted reminded me of a great photo I'd seen of Charlie Bewley with a baby from a Twilight convention:@MichelleRowen: @RichelleMead Oh wow, congrats Richelle!!! I loved that movie -- 3 Books and a Baby! :) Hooray!!@jayewells: @RichelleMead OMG yay yay yay! Congratulations!@RichelleMead: @jayewells Cons = SOBER
@CandaceHavens: @RichelleMead That is going to be one beautiful baby. Congrats to you. And don't worry, @jayewells and I are happy to drink for you at cons. :)
@katrchrdsn: @RichelleMead Wow, that's really going to complicate the tour schedule.... ;) (Congrats to you and Jay--you'll be great parents!)@dianarowland: @RichelleMead SQUEE!! Go you!! Congrats!
@caseyrmcintyre:@RichelleMead CONGRATULATIONS! Our gift to you, a Bloodlines Baby Bjorn, is on it's way! ;)@RichelleMead: @caseyrmcintyre That's a good idea. The baby needs to start advertising as soon as it's out of the womb. College isn't cheap.
caseyrmcintyre: @RichelleMead Think of the possibilities! Bloodlines Bottles, Bloodlines Baby Shampoo, Pacifiers with little fangs on them!
I guess you can question the parents, but I love it!! :D(For those wondering about Chapel: I did a little research (and asked @psynde about it), and it's a bar in Seattle where at least parts of Team Seattle meet up sometimes. You can find it here.)@psynde: @RichelleMead i think the baby shower should be at chapel..is that wrong? Im really really happy for you guys...;)@RichelleMead: @psynde Happy hour martinis are never wrong, though there is something a bit morbid about the mortuary setting...
@tiffanytrent: @RichelleMead Sooo many congrats!!! I guess it would be unfair to toast you, though. ;)@RichelleMead: @tiffanytrent No, it's okay. I expect my friends to drink for two now.@cmpriest: @RichelleMead @tiffanytrent - WE WILL HELP. That is just the kind of slack we are very keen to pick up!@RichelleMead: @cmpriest @graphxgrrl With Team Seattle, I feel like "baby shower" = "bar meet-up with Richelle as designated driver."@blakeygirl: @RichelleMead OMG!! CONGRATS to you and the hubby!!! thats so exciting!!! i'll have to send you a vampire themed baby gift ;)@RichelleMead: @blakeygirl Ha, thank you, but no vampire themed stuff needed. I'm going to be happy to make do with pastels. :)DakotaCassidy: @RichelleMead are you with child. lady?@RichelleMead: @DakotaCassidy Indeed I am. The announcement's gotten buried a bit. Thank goodness makeup always fits.
And later, Richelle gave us this little tidbit:
My husband's announcement about the baby included, "She assures me I'm the father." Such love in my household. :)@psynde: @RichelleMead such a caring soul he is...@RichelleMead: @psynde Indeed. :)
The following day, Richelle tweeted:
LOL!Thank you to everyone for all of the well wishes and congratulations! I'm overwhelmed by all the support out there.
Also touched by all the authors pals who've come forward & offered to "drink for me" now that I can't. Such self-sacrificing friends I have.@andrewtshaffer: @RichelleMead I thought expecting mothers were supposed to "drink for two?" Or is that wrong?@RichelleMead: @andrewtshaffer You can't drink before noon if you're pregnant. It's scientifically proven to be harmful.
Finally, I had to add a quote from Richelle's blog post announcing the pregnancy. So awesome!
Yes, that's right. Finally, all the parenting skills I learned from watching Mad Men and Toddlers and Tiaras are going to pay off.Again, huge congrats to Richelle and Jay. We wish you all the best!
