Apparently there is a second purple line and the doctor confirmed it today. My wife and I will be having our first baby ... Well ... mostly my wife. Finally I get to do nothing while SHE does all the development It's still very early, but I figure, what the heck. Virtual pink and/or blue (lavender?) bubble gum cigars for everyone.

Congrats!

And welcome to sleepless nights...

Incidentally, the name Trogdor was already shot down. Also "The Burninator", which I was particularly partial to

Congratulations! I suppose naming it after an empegger is also out of the question? Customsex would be a nice one to report to the relatives

Congrats, Mike!

It'll be coding Java before its third birthday, I just know it.

Congrats!

Congrats!!

Congratulations!

Congrats! Enjoy sleep while you can

Congratulations to the three of you!

Congratulations!

Yeah, right, You wish. Wait until those 3am calls for bizarre foodstuffs.

Congrats! My babies are 1 and 3 now and the very center of my life. You get used to not sleeping, eventually.

Oh, yeah, my empeg has lots of children's music on it now.

congrats..

and when she's walking around grabbing things, hide the empeg(s) carefully!! I nearly had an incident with my 2yr old niece finding my empeg in the cupboard had to resort to bribes

D, D, R, R, R, D, L, D.long, D

Good luck RMML development will be on hold for a couple year I bet

It seems I'm a little behind technology -- it took me a bit to figure out what these purple line thingies you mention are. One more to the long list of Congrats!

Congrats to all three of y'all...

Sean in NC

Congrats! Ready the Doritos and Haagen-Dazs!

3am is normal hacker hours. Wait for the ones at 8am

Congrats...

Thanks everyone for the congrats ... I'll keep you posted on how things go. I have 9 months to work my ass off on random projects before I am consumed by fatherhood, I suppose. Get your jEmplode bug requests in now

congratulations

congrats!

Many congratulations! Start tagging all the songs with swearing on now - Wendy filters will be your friend in a couple of year's time.
"Daddy, what's a motherfscking p.i.m.p?" is a difficult one to answer

I remember all that stuff.......but mine was 21 the other week.

Best thing is to brief your whole family not to cooo, saying doesn't he/she look like grannie/auntie/uncle on your side of the family - accept the possibility that the resemblance might be to her side, otherwise it causes friction!

Fix your mind on the simple eventuality, all newborns look like:
a. Winston Churchill
b.Nikita Kruschev
c.Frank Sinatra
No other type exists.

Otherwise, congratulations, and look forward to the greatest of all human experiences. We make no secret that ours was the most fortuitous accident that ever happened to us!

Look forward to the photos.

My first looked like Orson Welles, but then eventually looked like me from about 3 months, and then when my daughter was born, she didn't look like either parent, but was the spitting image of her brother.

Definitely reckon avoiding routine is the best way to get sleep. My two are 2 and 4 now and we just do whatever we would normally do, so they are happy sleeping at friends houses, at 8 or 11pm, chinese takeaway or pasta - very laid back indeed.

So utterly utterly rewarding (caveat - I haven't been parent of a teenager yet)

Congratulations!!! I have some recommended reading for you. I went to school with both of these folks, so I can vouch for the accuracy of this story.

Congrats!

True - and to be fair, Rammstein's 'Sonne' did make it very easy to teach Hamish one to ten in German. I haven't taught him what the lyrics to Rein Raus mean yet.....

I sent them $10 (no idea what the norm is for something like this is) .. This is a hilarious read.
