News Big-Big! The New Baby Thread.

[jayson]

We went for the sonnogram this morning, and our baby is a GIRL!!!!!

We are both very excited. She is progressing very well so far and everything looks good and where it is supposed to be. Due date is still approx June 3rd. I'm just glad I no longer have to think of my own child as "it." Now it's "she." As far as names go, hers will very likely be Ella Rose.

[Nerak]

WOO HOO!!!

Congrats!!

Pink is in!!!!!

[jayson]

Thank you Nerak & Jean. Very cute girly bear Jean. I will teach my daughter to love bears.

[sarah]

It is nice to find out the sex, especially on your first. Now you can really start planing and shopping and shopping and planing. :lol:

[jayson]

Exactly Maerlyn. I spoke to my mom this morning to tell her the news. Apparently my parents found a great baby store near them last weekend and wanted to start throwin' down the money but couldn't yet. Now she can't wait to go back out to that store.

I'm just happy I don't have to think of/refer to my baby as an "it" anymore. Now it's a she.

[TerribleT]

Congratulations RoG, I'm really happy for you. :)

[jayson]

Thank you T!

[TerribleT]

Thank you T!

Just make sure she understands Roland had NO CHOICE but to drop Jake, and that it's Cordelia and Rhea's fault, NOT ROLAND'S. And that the Democrats are constantly trying to steal elections

[Brice]

Congratulations man! :D

[Brice]

Thank you T!

Just make sure she understands Roland had NO CHOICE but to drop Jake, and that it's Cordelia and Rhea's fault, NOT ROLAND'S. And that the Democrats are constantly trying to steal elections

So....you want him to brainwash her? :lol:

[Jean]

::giggles::

R_of_G already promised he will teach her to love bears... which means she will always rely on logic and on nobody's judgement but her own!

[jayson]

Just make sure she understands Roland had NO CHOICE but to drop Jake, and that it's Cordelia and Rhea's fault, NOT ROLAND'S. And that the Democrats are constantly trying to steal elections

That's great T!! I will be sure to explain to her all the intricacies of being one of Roland's lawyers, and as far as politics goes, with parents like myself and my wife, this child will never vote for a major party politician.

And thank you Brice!!!!

[jayson]

So....you want him to brainwash her? :lol:

I thought that was why I was having a kid in the first place. :lol:

[TerribleT]

So....you want him to brainwash her? :lol:

OMG I'm gonna piss myself!!!!!! :rofl:

[fernandito]

Congrats to the R of G family! :D

[Brice]

I already did. :(

[jayson]

Thank you Feverish!

[Matt]

:rock:

This is great news RofG--I'm so happy for you guys.

When she is born, I'll put a pic of her on the home page for you :wub:

[jayson]

Thanks and thanks Matt. It's very exciting. She seems like that much more of a real person to me now.

[alinda]

Wonderful news , Congratulations ! She's beautiful!!

[Letti]

Congratulations! :rose:
From the bottom of my heart.

:rolleyes:

:lol:

[Odetta]

Yay! A girl!

:clap:

[Daghain]

Congrats, man! :D

[jayson]

Thanks Odetta, Letti, Alinda & Daghain! It's nice to share all of this with all of my friends here.

[cozener]

Can I have the placenta?

[jayson]

Can I have the placenta?

Can I echo All_Hail_Matt's thoughts from the other thread about shooting you?

[Jean]

everybody beats me to shooting Cozener... a second time around...

[jayson]

Tell you what Jean, I will leave him alive for you so you can deliver the coup de grace.

[Darkthoughts]

Some people really do eat their placentas though. Its meant to be a phenomenal source of protein...but YUK!!!

[jayson]

some species eat their young too, but...

[ManOfWesternesse]

Congratulations to you R_of_G!
So.... when are you planning her first read of Lord of the Rings?

[William50]

Congratulations to you R_of_G!
So.... when are you planning her first read of Lord of the Rings?

He should read it to her. My dad read me the LOTR series when I was a baby and I turned out great!

[Jean]

I would recommend starting with Winnie-the-Pooh, though. http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bear_wink-1.gif

[TerribleT]

Naw, you gotta get her started right away, we need help fighting off all of these "Roland is a bad guy" people!!! Make sure that when you're reading the series to her you emphasize the parts about Roland SAVING Jake later on.

[jayson]

Congratulations to you R_of_G!
So.... when are you planning her first read of Lord of the Rings?

Thanks Brian! There will be a copy of The Hobbit on her bookshelf, and when she's ready all the Tolkien will be open to her. And if that doesn't happen by the time she's say 12, I'll force it on her :lol:


I would recommend starting with Winnie-the-Pooh, though. http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bear_wink-1.gif Yes, I think she'll know who Pooh is long before she ever knows who Frodo or Roland are.

[ZoNeSeeK]

Congrats R of G!

We are going to do the same thing when we have kids, because id like to be able to call the unborn baby by its name etc, instead of "it" and "thingo".

[Erin]

Congrats R of G! A girl! How wonderful! And Ella Rose is such a pretty name. :thumbsup:

[Darkthoughts]

Theres a lot to be said for "Thingo" :lol:

[jayson]

Thanks Zone & Erin! Of all of the names we'd considered, Ella Rose was the one that my wife kept coming back to over and over again. It was the consensus fav among my family as well. And so there is no doubt, the Rose is for "The Rose" from the DT books as my wife and I are both Tower junkies. Our King collections were the first thing we realized we had in common.

Thats good! :lol:
My 10-yr-old son read both The Hobbit & LotR a couple of months back. It gave me a great feeling I must admit.

That's great! I'm sure it's very cool to know that he's read books that mean so much to you.

[cozener]

Hey now I hardly think that my culinary interest in your daughter's placenta is worthy of the firing squad. Now...if you were going to save it for something I could understand some irritation. I mean, your wife might want save it so she can take a bite out of it if she starts to hemorrhage. Or she might want it for afterwards to help treat her postpartum depression. I certainly wouldn't want to rob her that. :)

[Jon]

Congrats...and I love the name!

[jayson]

Thanks a lot Jon!

[Arthur Heath]

Its official guys, Im having a boy! My first child! *sigh* a son to pass on my finite wisdom, devilishly handsome good looks, chivalrous charm and of course 20 years of comics!
:excited:

So I ask those with children; If you could share one piece of insight what would you pass on?


P.S. Beneath the excitement is a nervous wreck :pullhair:

[John Blaze]

Its official guys, Im having a boy! My first child! *sigh* a son to pass on my finite wisdom, devilishly handsome good looks, chivalrous charm and etc,


your wonderful sense of humility as well? :lol:

Congrats, we're still trying for number 2. :(

1 tip can give you, keep your sense of humor.

[Ka-mai]

Don't give your kid a name that will humiliate him later or make people think you're a moron. My one friend got pregnant and they were like, "if it's a boy, we're naming him Lestat!" I almost cried. After that, they wanted to name the kid after X-Men. Luckily they had a girl.

[Arthur Heath]

Im trying for Roland :) We'll see how it goes...

[John Blaze]

so they named her Storm, right? :D

[Bethany]

congrats!!!

my advice would be to burn any stupid parenting/baby book anyone gives you.

[Ka-mai]

so they named her Storm, right? :D

:P They named her Lisselle Serene. Weird, definitely, but they were 19 and 21, and I was just so relieved it wasn't Lestat I didn't care much anymore. I call her Lissie.

Spank your kids. Everyone I know who was spanked turned out fine. All these kids who aren't go and blow shit up or turn out really spoiled.

[mia/susannah]

Congradulations!!!:thumbsup:

I have all girls. But a good piece of advice. Just love them and always be there for them no matter what. :orely:

[Nerak]

you cannot spoil an infant! hold him, love him, teach him to fall asleep on his own and not rock him to sleep


oh yeah, congrats!!!! lol

[Matt]

Congratulations.

Always put them first, that would be my advice.

And...never let them sleep in the bed, that needs to remain Mommy and Daddy time. :ninja:

[LadyHitchhiker]

Just be the person you want him to be...

Treasure every day. You never know what will happen, so treasure every moment with your son.

And remember to get all the hugs you can out of them while they'll let you.

[jayson]

Congratulations Skolpadda!!!!!
My first child is coming in about 6 weeks, so I will have advice for you once I know what the heck I'm doing.

[alinda]

Congratulations ! My advice? Let your
son explore the beauty of life, and try to not
take yourself too seriously. Treasure the time
you get to be together!! I am happy for you.

[ZoNeSeeK]

Congratulations man!!!!!!! Finally you will have someone to do the dishes!

As im pretty sure that was the primary purpose of me and my siblings when i was growing up :)

[Erin]

Congrats! I'm so happy for you!



Man, people are having babies around here left and right.

*stops drinking the water*

[Odetta]

Congrats!
My advice is do whatever you need to to get maximum sleep.

[Daghain]

Congratulations!

I have no kid advice. When you want to know about birds or cats, call me. :lol:

[ZoNeSeeK]

Congrats! I'm so happy for you!



Man, people are having babies around here left and right.

*stops drinking the water*

Well i couldn't find any tissues or a spare sock, could I.

[Daghain]

OMG :lol:

[Letti]

Congratulations dearheart! I am sure you will be a great daddy. :D

[fernandito]

If it's a boy, name him Sephiroth.


That is all.

[LadyHitchhiker]

Ooh are we picking names? How about Spartacus?

[LadyHitchhiker]

Spartacus son of Skolpadda...

[Storyslinger]

Congrats!!!


If it's a boy, name him Sephiroth.


That is all.

Right on!

[Arthur Heath]

Spartacus son of Skolpadda...

AWESOME! That is just so awesome. Thanks guys for all the congrats and tips. If Im half the father my old man is than things shall be fine!

[LadyHitchhiker]

I'm sure you'll do more than just fine. You'll do great.

[LadyHitchhiker]

But you're going to have a hard time picking godparents :P

[Letti]

And what about the mother? Can we get some information about the lucky lady? :)

[John Blaze]

[MrsSmeej]

Congratulations Bruno... :D Wishing you and Mrs. Bruno a happy and healthy pregnancy.

Big congratulations Bruno!! :thumbsup: This is really great! :harrier:

[John Blaze]

So in addition to having to fix two faucets you had to clean the mirror someone scrawled all over too? <_<



:lol:


Actually you should go buy a new mirror for the bathroom immediately and save that one just as it is.




man I got a huge shit eating grin right now! We've been trying to get pregnant since December and I was starting to worry because we weren't, but now that's forgotten.

Well, I'm just glad to hear she was more successful in getting pregnant than you were Bruno. :P






Seriously dude, that's fuckin awesome and that was one sweet damn way to tell you.

[Brice]

Also I have no problem leaving it for 24 hours, or longer even. :D

[Rjeso]

Congratulations, JB! Oh, man, I'm way excited for you, dude! :D

[Jimmy]

Why is the robot dog exuding a mushroom cloud?

[John Blaze]

i called ans asked her and it is a question mark. Apparently my wife is under the delusion that I may want to have 3 kids. WHATEVER!

I told her a long time ago if we have one we have two, but we'll never have 3. That's why I'm getting a vasectomy, I don't trust her getting her tubes tied. :ninja:

[alinda]

Yeah, well what if it is twinners in her? :lol:

[Brice]

I'd prefer having two dozen kids to having anything that cuts near my groin.

[alinda]

I just cant say it...:lol:

[Jean]

I'd prefer having two dozen kids to having anything that cuts near my groin.
what a hideous, dreadful, nightmarish dilemma

I meant the tree under the happy sun. ;)

You really should have 3 kids though. You might need a keyboardist if you decide to start a family band.

[John Blaze]

Yeah, well what if it is twinners in her? :lol:

<_< :angry: stop playing

[alinda]

I wasnt playing...but I'll stop
I didnt mean to cause you to
:panic: .........:lol: I love you boss!

[John Blaze]

....you made me cry....:(

[alinda]

Happy tears of joy I hope ;) Kiss that beautiful woman for us okay?

[John Blaze]

i've done more than that. ;) let me tell you about the birds and the bees..............

[alinda]

:lol: yeah I had an idea you'd done more than kiss her,
but do give her a kiss for us wont you please?

[Aaron]

CONGRATULATIONS!!

:cool:

[John Blaze]

thanks Aaron.

and Alinda, sure will, but I might not stop there :ninja:

[bodacious ta-tas]

Congratulations to you and your wife!!!! I'm very happy for you. May you have a healthy, beautiful baby that will fill your life with joy!:rose: :rose: :rose: :rose:

[John Blaze]

thank you!

[turtlex]

Congratulations!!! Awesome and a sweet way to tell you.

I suggest naming the baby "Roland" for a boy, and "Susannah" for a girl !

[The Lady of Shadows]

might i suggest "maturin" for a boy? he's sure to be the only one in his kindergarten class (or any other class for that matter). just a thought.

[John Blaze]

i do have to have my wife agree with my choices also.

I like Johnathan for a boy, Natalie for a girl. The way we did it with my first daughter is I chose one name and she chose a middle name. So our first is Faith Keelani Baca, our second we're not sure yet.

[Heather19]

Congratulations JB!! What wonderful news!

[John Blaze]

Thank You, and it truly is. :D

[ZoNeSeeK]

JB: is your wife going to watch the vasectomy? its only a local operation. Diem's mum watched her partner's vasectomy - "Ooh! look at that!"

[John Blaze]

lol, idk if she'd want to. I'll talk to her about it.

[Míchéal]

Congratulations!!!

[John Blaze]

thanks.

[Bethany]

[blackrose22]

Fantastic news John:clap: :thumbsup: .

[Nerak]

JB, how far along is she? Just four weeks? Cause if she is, then she is due Jan - Feb, not Feb - March....

[John Blaze]

she isn't even that far along, because we tested like 1 week ago and she wasn't.

[John Blaze]

thanks guys, I think she said she should be due late Feb or early March.


beware the ides of March

coughcoughmarch5coughcough

thank you Goddy!


of course.

alright!

[Nerak]

she isn't even that far along, because we tested like 1 week ago and she wasn't.

But you may have just tested too early.

What they always tell you is take the first day of her last period, go back three months and add seven days...that will give you an approximate due date...

[John Blaze]

that won't work, because she has women's issues I'm not at liberty to discuss.

We got a doctor's app next week, I'll update ya'll then.

[Ka-mai]

:lol: Oh man, that system would never work with me. Actually, I don't think I know anyone who has a regular cycle. I probably won't know I'm pregnant for a few months.

All this "28 days" stuff is such crap.

[ZoNeSeeK]

Touch wood that everything goes smoothly from here on in johnboy.

[John Blaze]

But I don't want my palms to get all hairy, Zone! :P

You know me!! I have been 28 days since I was 17!!! :D
Clockwork, Baby, Clockwork

Keep us updated as to her due date!!

Congrats man, but remember this. me and my wife were pretty adamant ab out having 3 and then taking care of business to keep it that way. Voila - twins! So I have 4 children - but wouldn't have had it any other way.

I remember being excited like you when My wife got preggers each time! But that was oh so long ago! :-) But my wife never told me like she told you - totally awesome!

[CRinVA]

Ah Karen, but that's only been a couple of years or so! :-)

[CRinVA]

Due Dates are for the birds anyways! My first was due July 7th and showed up June 18th; second was due Sept 7th and decided to make an appearance on Sept 25th. My twins were due Sept 4th and Dr said Mama we need to prod 'em along and helped push 'em out on Sept 7th. That was closeest to the due date but only cuz the Dr said my wife was already too big! Full term twins on a 5'2" frame with combined birth weight of 15 lbs! By the way their combined weight now is 350 pounds! :-)

Keep us updated as to her due date!!

Ah Karen, but that's only been a couple of years or so! :-)

How very sweet of you...it's been 21 almost 22 years now! UGH!

And in regards to due dates...My first was two days before, my second 6 days after and the 3rd was induced a week early! So, sometimes they work! LOL

[Matt]

Congrats Bruno--and don't worry, the vasectomy is easy. Its a reversal that is a fuck.

<--still has nightmares of carry around a grapefruit in his pants for 3 weeks.

[The Lady of Shadows]

Touch wood that everything goes smoothly from here on in johnboy.


But I don't want my palms to get all hairy, Zone! :P


no, sweetie. i believe he said touch WOOD! :rofl:

[Ka-mai]

:lol: Oh man, that system would never work with me. Actually, I don't think I know anyone who has a regular cycle. I probably won't know I'm pregnant for a few months.

All this "28 days" stuff is such crap.

...You have no idea how freaking lucky you are.

My mom is pretty sure both my sister and I were both three days past our due dates, and my friend's baby was I think four days before hers.

[She-Oy]

Congrats! And Kudos for your wife! That was a really cute way to tell you the great news!

[Old Man Splitfoot]

i called ans asked her and it is a question mark. Apparently my wife is under the delusion that I may want to have 3 kids. WHATEVER!

I told her a long time ago if we have one we have two, but we'll never have 3. That's why I'm getting a vasectomy, I don't trust her getting her tubes tied. :ninja:

Congratulations! Hope your second child comes out happy and healthy. But, as the younger sibling in a two child family, I think you should reconsider having a third. I always wished I had a younger brother or sister, and your pending arrival may feel the same. But maybe that's just 'cause I wanted someone to beat up on.

[ZoNeSeeK]

But I don't want my palms to get all hairy, Zone! :P

Why not? I find it adds a nice little tickle and is really soft on your balls when you're having a toss.

[obscurejude]

Bruno, congratulations man.

[John Blaze]

thanks everyone.

[Bethany]

my earliest baby was 6 days late.

[Matt]

I just figured out why Bruno is such a baby maker!

He lives on Wood Ave. :lol:

ok, I think this thread has served it's purpose, any of you mods that could merge it with happy bouncy sunshine now, that would be awesome.

Thanks everyone, again!

[Jean]

or maybe it should stay here for all expecting parents?

[Unfound One]

I was thinking just that earlier today...

[ZoNeSeeK]

Or for any major life changing news? Babies, weddings, finding your birth parent, adopting a child, moving overseas etc?

[Jean]

I would say just for babies... they may be little, but they are big news worthy of their own thread.

[John Blaze]

ok, so then we can rename it maybe, "News Big-Big: The Baby Thread"?

[Erin]

I think that's a good idea, Bruno. Jayson will be able to post in here quite soon. :D

[Unfound One]

I'm so excited to see pictures! :excited:

[ZoNeSeeK]

Yeah fair enough, ill rename the thread slightly.

[Brice]

Or for any major life changing news? Babies, weddings, finding your birth parent, adopting a child, moving overseas etc?

...prison escapes, homicides, divorces, alien abductions?

[John Blaze]

great rename! :thumbsup:

[Arthur Heath]

damn, it seems to be going around.... DONT DRINK THE WATER!

Congrats, man!

[John Blaze]

thanks. weren't you preggers too?

I know R of G is expecting anyday now.

[jayson]

...and my wife is getting very impatient. i think she's about ready to be done being pregnant and get on with the baby part of things. we go to the doctor tomorrow to see if she's made any progress since last week's visit. she's hoping the baby will come this weekend so she won't have to go back to work monday.

[John Blaze]

when was her given Due Date? My wife chose to have the labor induced 3 days after her due date, because it was convenient for us. It worked out fine. Our doctor has said many times he actually prefers doing that, because then the labor can be scheduled and more convenient for everyone. It worked for us.

[Darkthoughts]

I was induced with all 3 of mine, but in the UK they only induce you once you've gone over your due date by 11 days...grr!

But anyway...for much more exciting news!...

My sister had her baby!!!!!!!!! :rock:

A little girl, 8 lbs 1 oz at 9.11am this morning :wub:

She's called Seren, its a Welsh name which means Star.

[Letti]

What a beautiful name for a girl. :rose: Excellent choice.

[Darkthoughts]

Thanks! :huglove: I'm so excited!!!

[Woofer]

Hoorah! Grats to your sister and her family, including little Seren.

(On my old D&D mud, my character's best friend was named...Seren.)

[jayson]

Congratulations to your family Lisa!!

My wife's due date is the 3rd. If she does not have the baby on her own before the 12th. she will be induced then.

[Nerak]

They let me go way over 11 days! I was booked in to be induced on 20 days over my due date, but had him naturally on 19 days over - must have been panic!


*shylemur pawraise*


I'm due November 18th.

Ooooh - congrats to you too Lemur :huglove:



My wife's due date is the 3rd. If she does not have the baby on her own before the 12th. she will be induced then.

She's got to give birth on the 3rd - its a very special date! My son Jake will be 16 on the 3rd :huglove:

Can't wait to see the piccies of all these new babies :excited:

[ZoNeSeeK]

off tangent for a second - I watched a doco called "The Business of Being Born" - very interesting, about the US Hospital -vs- home birth / birthing centre / midwife methods. It gives insight into the pros and cons of both, but its leaning is pro-midwifery - Ricki Lake produced it after having two kids, one in either system.

[Unfound One]

Jayson, I know your wife wants to skip work Monday, but I've decided that Ella just has to wait until June 3 to be born.
Do you know why?


3.6.2008 = 19. :rose:

we watched that about a month ago. it was def very interesting and provided a lot of info about both of those approaches to childbirth. i didn't expect much from ricki lake, but it was actually quite good.

well that settles it. i will tell my wife she has to have her on the third. :)

[riknofx]

Just wanted to say congrats. My lady blessed me with my daughter Harmony 3/21/07 and its been the most amazing quick year and change ever. Good luck and hope all goes well.

[Ka-mai]

I think most people try to get women to not give birth in hospitals because hospitals do so much damn invasive stuff that's completely unnecessary. I'd opt for a home birth myself when I eventually have kids, except I want the best painkillers money can buy. :lol: But yeah, I'm terrified of IVs, not being able to eat or drink, episiotomies, and horrible, unsympathetic bitch doctors like my friend had. Also I'm afraid I'll get one of those creepy new-agey midwives who don't brush their hair and dangle crystals over your belly or something. :ninja:

[jayson]

Ella is on her way. Melissa went into labor this morning. We are in the hospital now. Will update later. :)

[Brice]

:D Congratulations dude! :dance:

Awwwwwwwwwww baby giraffe.



I want one!

[Odetta]

yeah, but you'd have to raise the roof in your home in about 6 months!

[LemurJones]

Yeahh.... yeeeaahhhh. Not to mention I think a baby giraffe is somewhat... larger than an adult lemur.


...maybe I will just visit the baby giraffe and then have nice appropriately-sized babbies.

[John Blaze]

:lol:

on a plus note, we went to the doc the other day and found out we're 9 weeks preggers, which is 6 weeks more than we thought we were!

it seems the last time my wife went to the Doc because she felt ill they told her she wasn't pregnant, but she was. Then they gave her medication to make her have a period, but she still never did. That's when our home test said we were pregnant. So we figured about 3 weeks, and nope, we were wrong. The docs were wrong too. :angry:

[Lee]

Congratulations! Hope everything keeps going well! :)

[Ka-mai]

Doctors are so stupid sometimes. I hope that medication they gave her isn't harmful to the baby.

aww shit bruno. i hope you didn't hurt the nice stupid doctor too badly. ><

is everything okay? are they going to do an ultrasound and sonogram and everything free of charge since they are complete and total morons who obviously know less than a fucking e.p.t.? :pullhair:

[ZoNeSeeK]

Jesus JB, could that have endangered the baby?

[John Blaze]

I hadn't thought about that until you guys brought it up, now i'm scared. I have to ask the doctor next time I see her. It was just something to make her ovulate which in turn was supposed to induce her period, as far as I understand.

[ZoNeSeeK]

Oh ok - i didn't mean to make you panic or anything

I wouldn't worry unless your doctor is worried when it comes to stuff like this :)

[LemurJones]

My son appears to be a not-giraffe, and also not a dragon. For this I am super thankful!

Brunobrun, you should eat the doctor. That is what I would do.


o_o although lately I want to eat everybody. yarrrmmm.

[Jean]

we are going to have a lemurbaby soon!!!

[Darkthoughts]

Oooh cool! Go for the 23rd, thats my birthday :D

[John Blaze]

hold it in until January 28, that's my birthday!

:D

[Ka-mai]

Whoa, John, me too!

Bad day for space shuttles, though.

[Bethany]

i want another baby.

[Ka-mai]

My mom wants a baby in the family, but she somehow wants me to pull this off without getting married (religious family) or getting pregnant.:orely:

I really don't want kids.

[Sam]

We went for the sonnogram this morning, and our baby is a GIRL!!!!!

We are both very excited. She is progressing very well so far and everything looks good and where it is supposed to be. Due date is still approx June 3rd. I'm just glad I no longer have to think of my own child as "it." Now it's "she." As far as names go, hers will very likely be Ella Rose.

Belated congratulations from me to you. I can also help you find a good price on a 12ga. shotgun and will even recommend a brand, Mossberg. Invest early to beat the rush when she's 15.

[Sam]

i want another baby.

If you will pm me your address, I'll see about getting a plane ticket and be there as soon as possible. :P

P.S. I'll call before I leave so you'll be expecting me.

I have a Winchester 1300, and it's much better than the Mossberg. My daughter is still a baby but I'm already getting ready to tomboy her out. :D

Hunting trips with dady? ALRIGHT!

[ZoNeSeeK]

well yeah, if your daughters can defend themselves it saves you the hassle :D

[Sam]

Damn the hassel. When that first little boy shows up you pull him aside and explain the facts of life to him.
Facts:
1. If you make her cry, I make you cry
2. If you pull up to the house and honk, you better be dropping off a package because you will not be picking anything or anyone up.
3. I am the merciless and all-knowing GOD of your universe. If you do anything, I will know it and act accordingly.
4. You shall not touch any place that is or should be covered with clothing. To do so will result in the loss, at a minimum, of the offending fingers.
5. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and 5 acres.
6. I have no problem going BACK to prison.
7. I also have a wood chipper.
8. She will be home on time or I will be forced to report to the police that you have kidnapped her. It will then be their responsibility to find you before I do.
9. I am the gatekeeper. If you should find a way inside the garden by going around the gatekeeper, you will have to pay the penalty.
10. If you harm my daughter, no place on this world or the next will save you from my wrath. That is not a threat, it is a guarantee.

Ah i get what you mean - have them deliver your weed for a few months first so you can suss out whether they have a good work ethic ;P

[John Blaze]

well, on or about January 19th we're having a girl.

another girl.

Karma sucks.

[Letti]

They will be good sisters and when they get bigger and they have a problem they will go to each other and not to you. ;)
Congratulations!
Anyway you should send some more pics of the little one.

[Odetta]

woo-hoo! Congrats!

Look at it this way, same toys, same clothes... less money spent (at least, for now)

[Jean]

generally, girls are so much nicer than boys...

[Nerak]

Oh, that is so NOT true!!!

My son is the sweet little thing...til his sister pisses him off and then lies about it and has a temper tantrum cause we don't believe that she DIDN'T do it!!!

My daughter so has to be the exception to that rule! :lol:

That's why I am hoping this bean is a boy! I like them better! :wtf:

[gsvec]

So, Karen - are you going to find out which it is before the birth or just wait and be surprised?

Based on your post I think I already know the answer, but figured I should ask anyway.

[Nerak]

We shall find out for sure!!

[sarah]

well, on or about January 19th we're having a girl.

another girl.

Karma sucks.


congrats on the upcoming baby girl. :clap: Sisters are the best. My sister is my bestest friend. We talk on the phone just about everyday. Of course we hated each other growing up. :lol:


congrats again to you Nerak on the bun in the oven. I'm so very happy for you!!!

[Daghain]

JB, I know you really wanted a boy. But, I also know you will totally love your new daughter when she is here.

Just remember, a healthy child is truly a blessing...and, you MAY get some really cool son-in-laws out of the deal. You never know.

Be happy you get a ten-fingers-ten-toes baby, regardless of sex. Just keep in mind how cool you think some of us .com chicks are - I'm pretty sure your daughters will grow up to be people I would LOVE to hang out with. :)

[John Blaze]

I'm not saying I'm displeased, but I did want a set, and since I've decided to get a vasectomy it's kinda sad that I'll never have a son. But I love my daughter, and I'm sure that I'll love the new one as well. And it's precisely the thought of all them soulless and evil boys that has me worried.

Sarah, my brother and I are super close now, and we hated each other growing up too. Funny, ain't it?

[Daghain]

Yeah, you'd better start cleaning the guns now, man...those girls are going to grow up pretty fast.

And, for future reference, here are 10 rules for dating my daughter (http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/3456/h_rulesdating.html).
