Guess who's knocked up?

(My disclaimer: Due to spending nearly all waking hours with twins in my sight and the remaining hours with two baby monitors nearby, I may accidentally reference every pregnancy I speak of for the rest of my life in the plural.  For example, "Hey Krista, when did you say them their peoples BABIES are gonna be borned?" is how I would now inquire about a friend pregnant with one child.) 

Here are your clues for Preggy:
-dark brown, long-ish, wavy hair
-licensed to work in a position helping others live happy, healthy, lives
-not very tall
-has the "I can talk to anyone & make them feel comfortable" gene (that some of us lack)
-drives a Honda
-lives in a state that starts with an "I"
-attended Illinois State University
-stays in close touch with her family, including siblings
-aspires to raise a free-thinking, kindhearted, confident child, just like her


And clues for the Significant Other:
-has shorter, lighter, redder, hair
-works in a field that makes people happy, but in a different way
-a tad taller than the pregnant one
-less vocal, more of a hands-on technical type
-drives a vehicle manufactured by Americans
-previously lived in Springfield, Peoria, & Champaign
-talks on the phone or texts Mom on a near daily basis
-aspires to raise a bright, industrious, athletic child, just like her

     If you guessed that my wife, Krista, is pregnant AGAIN, ALREADY,
--you must be completely DRUNK and blind enough to miss the bold-faced pronoun hints.
    
    Anyhow without further ado: Pregnancy has afflicted our best buddies--Kara and Steph!  Stephanie, as you may have guessed, is now 15 weeks pregnant, but don't think for one second that this baby is naive or innocent based on it's age.  This kid is worldly--it's already co-piloted a tumultuous journey around the country.  In this babies first few weeks of tadpole-hood, it helped Kara and Steph pack up their apartment in New Jersey, buy a house in Indiana, and survive a hurricane & the cold days without power that followed--all while giving Steph that extra burst of energy that only morning sickness can offer!
   
    Through all the crazy times since and the years leading up to the promise of this little life, I have come to know, there is no couple more capable of taking on the challenge of parenthood, and more importantly, none more deserving of their own perfect, little rainbow after the storm... er, hurricane.
