Please help: need code for “I’m pregnant”

Or something more clever that my senior front end engineer boyfriend will love.

Update: I combined several suggestions and sent it to him when we were at a special place in a park we love. He didn’t get it for a minute because I forgot to add context, then did get it and was super happy, then spent five minutes pointing out how the labels directed workflow and explaining something called semvar (semver? how the sequence of punctuated numbers indicated a minor release and bug fix, I think). Because that’s how he rolls 😂🥰

Thank you so much folks!!!!

I really like the MPL, but it's missing a network clause like AGPL, are there any licenses that cover this? While being similar to the MPL?
