Awwwww, this was delightful. The thrill of finding out the news was really on point. I can remember a lot of similar feelings when we found out about my first kid.

The flashback to mini-golf was also a ton of fun. I really like that even though they've known each other for years, there's still things they're finding out about each other. Add to the fact the wonderfully adorable cuteness of Jim helping her with her follow through. Also I noticed the order of those balls going in the hole. Pink first then blue. Nicely done.

Back to the present and yeah, seeing the first picture of the kid is always a lovely experience. Also kind of makes sense Jim would have a bit of a freakout moment. It's a big thing that's happening to them. However Pam is right there with him. Loved it.

Ok so first off I love that Dwight may be aware or at least Jim thinks he might because of his obsession with the cycles of the women in the office in addition to the animals on the farm.

But Pam’s passage to motherhood (and their transition to a family) is another topic that I love to see explored so I adored this chapter too for that reason.

There's a lot of touches here I really like. The details are just great - Dwight tracking his co-workers' cycles, them nostalgically going back to the same mini-golf course where they got the pencil, the head kiss, the Blue Angels reference... and I love the way you've negotiated the early moments of their relationship, and this tension between how new it is and also how they've both been in it mentally for so long and they're both far surer than the average couple on the second date that they're in it for good. And their banter is just adorable. They feel very Jim-and-Pam here - both in the golf game and as the couple who high-five over getting knocked up.

"Pam asks the question casually, as if he hasn’t pictured having kids with her for years. As if any child he’d ever had the presence of mind to imagine hadn’t been a perfect amalgamation of the two of them, together." Lovely.

Also appreciate you acknowledging how they feel about the cameras capturing this private moment, especially given how early it is in the pregnancy.

And framing Jim's Season 6 storyline explicitly as a reaction to this moment is great, and probably something they should have included more of in canon.

This chapter was so deliriously fluffy that I am now drunk. And I'm underage, so thanks! :D
