Valleywag
Jason Kottke, who was blogging long before anyone called it that, and Meg Hourihan, the cofounder of Pyra Labs, maker of Blogger, are the proud parents of Ollie Kottke. Mazel tov to the new mom and dad! We can't wait until Ollie starts IMing us tips about his A-list blogger parents. For those of you as thrilled as I am by news of the next generation of bloggers, here's a question: Which other famous A-list blogger couple is set to have a baby very soon — but who are going around telling people, absurdly, that the mom-to-be's very obvious bump is "off the record"?

I'd put my bt on the Scobles, but I think Maryan just is that well-boned. :|
@franky: Come now. That's not nice. I adore Maryam, in part because she was such a fan of "Trackback Mountain," -- which, confession time here, folks, I actually wrote. Plus, her pregnancy's no secret, which would make this a very tedious blind item. Try again.
My money's on the Dashes.
@franky:
Not even Fake Scoble would be so low. Besides, the teaser clearly states "A-list"

If it's really "off the record" for some reason, I guess I shouldn't say... but there will certainly be lots of PHOTOS!
ONETHUMB beat me: Butterfield and Fake.
(What would their gossip name be? Butterfake? Fakefield? Buttake?)
@onethumb: That pregnancy's well-known. But you're in the right -- how to put it? Ah yes -- "neighborhood."
Do not use that infuriating cutesy neologism "bump" or there's gonna be a decrease in fertility chez Château Valleywag.
Oh sure, I put on a couple of extra pounds and all of a sudden Nick says I'm pregnant. But this couldn't be referring to us -- I haven't been an A-lister since 2003.
@Joe Clark: Those who know Mrs. Valleywag will find your comment inadvertently hilarious.
Um, I give up. The Powazek's?
Mn nd Bn Trtt.
There may be other A-list bloggers that exist, but in total there may only be 1 or 2 bloggers any sane person would call "famous"
nothing snaps you out of a web-2.0 funk better than a brand new baby. Congratulations, and enjoy the ride! :)
The fake butterfield bump has been in the know since back in March:

The photos tip can only mean one thing: Thomas Hawk and Kris Tate worked out their money troubles and are buying an asian orphan? I knew they looked like a happy couple waiting in line for that phone...
@chuckchuckchucknorris: Would you like to buy a vowel?
Ah! Or rather: Phew! I almost asked Veronica Belmont and Ryan Block about their baby....
(And thank god the rumors about the child that Amanda Congdon and I are siring have been put to rest.)
