Much as I love the end of Company Picnic, it always struck me as a trifle unrealistic that Jim and Pam would be so excited about what is clearly an unintended pregnancy, and especially Pam given her canonical nervousness about children. I'm glad you chose to explore her reaction a little more deeply.

You know what. The good thing about babies - at least for the first part - is they are not mobile. And also, you eventually get very tired of their crying and can ignore it 90% of the time.
Oh, the noises kids make. I'm so over this parenthood thing and I don't even have any kids yet!
Oh yeah, all parents make mistakes. And my mom just made one today that I can guilt her for for at least another few days, maybe a week if I'm lucky. Its wonderful.
And we need more genre choices, I totally agree....

PERFECTION! So adorable! And I agree with you - those genres should be added!

I'm gushing here! Fluf is totally awesome. I can never get enough of Pam pregnant with Jim being supportive! Sigh* I also agree about the genre thing. There are so many fics of the subject that there should be a special place for them!

Aww. This was cute. I'm so glad Jim comforted Pam.

I'm not a lover of the term JAM either =) Have you changed this since putting it up on ALSS? =)
I really liked this idea, and Pam having a nightmare would definitely show that she is stressing about becomming a mother and it's something she's been worrying about.
Author's Response: i changed it ever so slightly, but it's still pretty much the same.... just a few word changes. like the paragraph where jim is talking about the parenting books... the sentence had a lot of the word "baby" in it, and felt awkward. i also posted 2 versions on ALSS... the first draft and then the more "fleshed out" version.
