An Introduction
I'd like to introduce you to someone I've met recently:

Everyone, this is Ziggy. He (she? we'll know soon! In the meantime, I'll spare you the pronoun game) and I met about twelve weeks ago. We haven't spoken much, but I already think he's pretty super.
The last time I saw him, he waved furiously - if that's any indication, I have a hunch he's the sociable sort. We're due to meet in person sometime in late January - y'all can meet him soon after. I'm postively bursting with anticipation.

WOW!!!! Sweet Jesus!! Congratulations to you and Mel! That's sort of... serious! We're thinking more like 2008 (now we're building a house, anybody planting a tree?).
Congratulations! Sara and Ryan passed on the news. I hope everything is going great. We had our son, Luke, last week.
