IttyBiz Gets An IttyBit Bigger
Well, I’ve told my mother-in-law so now I can tell y’all without looking like a bitch…
I’m pregnant.
This means that daytime TV is completely disallowed in my home because talk shows make me weep uncontrollably and I am not cute when I cry. Some women look like these delicate wet kittens when they cry. I look like a fat, drowning rat. No Oprah or Ellen for almost a year. I can’t even imagine what this will do to my home business productivity. Take that, Dave “Mr. Productivity Pants” Navarro. I got an extra six hours in my day just by getting knocked up.

I swear! It wasn’t me!! JAMES! (No, not me, James, I mean her HUSBAND James!) Speak up, man! Tell them! It was just one bottle of liquor… and those photos? She WANTED me to take them!
Congrats, little mama. And if it comes out blond with hazel eyes… uh… Well, Harry will hold the fort while I run for my life.
so I lurk around your site constantly…like at least 3 times a day…and feel like if I keep reading I’ll be well equipped to be a marketing superstar when I launch my own business (hopefully later this year)…thanks for sharing your great news…I’ll make this my first comment and my first venture out of lurkdom…CONGRATS!
Congrats, Naomi!
Hmm … I’ve got a new angle for my next productivity eBook:
“Get More Done …. By Getting Busy (First)!”
with foreword by Naomi Dunford
What do you think? Best seller?
@ James - Harry will not protect you, dude. Harry knows that I’m young and impressionable.
@ Carla - First off, welcome and thank you. Second off, you have the best damn blog roll I have ever seen.
Cool! Now Jack will have a partner in crime lol! Congrats to you and your family.
@ Dave - Thank you, I’d be honored. You stand to make millions. Can I have a tagline, though? Like when it says “With foreword by Jack Canfield, author of blah blah blah” I want mine to say “With foreward by Naomi Dunford, the one who got pregnant half an hour after deciding to try for yet another baby.”
I am nothing if not efficient. I think that qualifies me for “expert status”.
Well, no wonder the sparkle had disappeared a couple of days ago! As they say - things can only get better …
Congratulations!
So do I need to update my other program to be “36 Hours a Day?”
Who says sex doesn’t sell?
@ Maddison - Thank God for that. There was too much mischief in this house for one child to get up to. The kid needs backup.
@ Lucy - Thanks! They’re infinitely better now I know why I’m crying about how wonderful it is that someone won a car on Wheel of Fortune.
@ Dave - I think an update may be in order.
Wow! IttyBiz welcomes an IttyBaby. I think you’ve got a new tagline. :)
A huge congrats Naomi.
Thanks, Travis! Are you back at YGG? Were you ever gone? Am I thinking of a totally different website?
Congratulations! :D
That said, I’m glad my wife doesn’t read your blog, she gets broody at the drop of a hat and I’m not quite in the mood for another just now… (says he, as if having a whole new human being in existence was something to be ‘in the mood’ for…)
PS. I look like a fat drowning rat, too, when I cry.
Congrats Naomi!
Now you can have a floor full of books to your left AND your right. ;o)
*rolls eyes at James - not Jamie* What have you done? I can’t leave you alone for one minute, can I?
@Naomi: You’re absolutely correct, he’s on his own. How dare he take advantage of such a young, delicate flower as yourself?
Congratulations, Naomi!
Woohoo!! Happy dances all around!
ahh, congrats! Here’s to a happy, healthy (if weepy) next nine — eight? seven? — months!
So if I were to go around impregnating women hither and yon, I’d be boosting their productivity, thus assisting in the economic boom we need?
Oh, this sounds better and better….
Congratulations Naomi! That’s a great news. If you will excuse me, I need to go show this post to my wife. She always complains there is not enough time in a day. This post might really help me out as it might show her how to add 6 more hours ;-)
Congratulations once again !
@ Everyone - thanks for the congrats, peeps! As far as months, that falls in the who-the-hell-knows category. I know I’m already in maternity clothes, but that could be because I’m on baby number 4 and my body knows what it’s doing now. “Oh, THIS again. I remember THIS!”
@ Bill - You just might be onto something there…
@ Ritu - Good call. It only works if she likes daytime TV, though.
Congratulations! I’m sure you’ll find a trick staying productive :)
I can’t believe you told us second! I mean, what are we to you anyway?!?!
I’m still a newbie to your site, but Congrats!!!
Congratulations! I don’t know you in any way. A turker sent me here in response to a HIT I posted. Best of luck with the child. It’s fun.
Nice! Congratulations! :D
congrats. kids are awesome. for example, take mine…
Congratulations, Naomi!
Congrats :)
Hey girl congratulations! Jesus I can’t tell you how little I miss the psychotic mood swings of early pregnancy. I did enjoy the part later where I could get all giant and it still looked good, though.
xoxox
@Naomi - I’m not back at YGG. We sold that a while back. I’m still a board member and too lazy to fill in the new fields with a different e-mail/URL. :)
holy crap naomi! congratulations to you. you’ve got one copywriter, a developer, designer, and now a sales kid. you and the hubby can retire.
Congratulations Naomi!
And talking about ‘productivity by being busy’ - from my own observations (I have three children) I’m a lot more productive with each child :) Being busy means You have to eliminate all time wasters.
Congratulations.
CONGRATULATIONS, Naomi!!! That’s great news - I’m so happy for you!
:)
*is laughing too hard about young, delicate flower to type*
Congratulations, Naomi! Wonderful news!
Just wanted to add my congrats as well! Hope you don’t get the pukies and all the fun fun stuff that comes with pregnancy and that the time flies by!
Congratulations!!!!!! I hear you about the maternity clothing. I swear this time around I got a + test and my pants immediately stopped fitting. I was in the basement swearing at unmarked boxes of random clothing looking for my maternity pants by 8weeks.
Wow! Congratulations. Excellent news.
You are going to make a great Volvo driving soccer mom!
What? you told your mother-in-law before telling us? ;)
Congrats!
That was possibly the most gracious and entertaining pregnancy announcement ever. And probably the first I’ve ever received through a blog. It was like pregnancy announcement 2.0. Love it.
Congrats! :)
Congratulations, Ms Dunford!
Congratulations!
Sorry, I’m late, but this is lovely news!
Hey ! Is that an attempt to trick me into another Zoohliah gift ? :P
Well, jokes appart, congratulations to you & Jamie, and lots of great things for the months and years to come.
That makes me wonder if I shouldn’t get one going myself, I have too much time on my hands, reading blogs and all… ;)
Wow, that’s great, Naomi. Congrats!
Congratulations! If you’d like some cool web software to help you communicate about infant care activities, I know someone who can hook you up. :-)
[...] All this I could probably handle — people have certainly done more difficult things in the whole of human history. But, as many of you already know, Jamie and I got the bright idea to have another baby. [...]
Congratulations!
Congratulations, Naomi!! (Me too.)
Four children? Where have you been hiding them?
