The baby thread

[nathansmart]

we're having one so I'm making a thread

[James Smann]

Congrats! Do you and your non-judgmental-socially-accepted-word-for-life-partner have any other kids, or is this your first?

[nathansmart]

this will be our first - just saw its heart beat today

[isoS]

I got one of those. Pretty cool.

[nathansmart]

does it have a heartbeat like mine? probably not, mine's pretty advanced

Nice! My son just turned 3 in September. Not to sound like a dirty leftist liberal hippie, but pregancy is pretty awe-inspiring when you watch your loved one go through it...all the anticipation, etc...it flies by really quickly in retrospect, but I know, depending on how far along she is when you get the news, that it can seem like a life-long process to get through.

Again, congrats man! Your stuff works!

[nathansmart]

thanks! we are pretty excited and I'm anticipating the process - but I just want to get through it all and stop worrying about its health - at least until I can hold it in my hands - then I'll worry more

Our boy is due March 8th. He's in a very wiggly, punchy mood lately. We're not sharing the name in advance.

I still sneak into my son's room at night and get close enough to see him breathing...I even sometimes move his arm, or pinch his toe just a little to make totally sure...sometimes I think I'm going to be going over to his dorm room 15 years from now to make sure he's still breathing...worrying about them I don't think ever goes away, from what I can tell.

creepy

for a boy we are going with Fletcher (so we can call him Fletch - is that AST-ey enough?)
we don't have an option for a girl yet

[scamboogah]

We're not sharing the name in advance.

Does it rhyme with Barch Clanton?

I had my hoses kinked ten years ago, so I don't expect to be posting in here very much...

I predict that this will have no discernible impact on the number of opinions that you produce.

It's Duke, right? You could call him "The Duker"!

I know lots of babies. Might make one sometime next year. I like their arm rolls more than any other fat rolls.

May I suggest Sally Ann (Cavanaugh)? Congrats.

[nathansmart]

no way I want my kid to be a loser like Sally Ann Cavanaugh

[James Smann]

creepy

Ha ha! I know, I know. Just wait though..it almost becomes complusive behavior. I know I'm acting silly doing it still...but it's retarded the amount of love I have for that drunken monkey of a child of mine.

Three names I've always enjoyed; Marvin, Velma, and Provo.

(Dammit. I hate making Charles right)

EDIT: Wow Tron. That just takes the bullet train right past good natured ribbing into hate-town....Oh well, I'll have my revenge when your kid grows up and becomes a huge Jim Belushi fan just to cheese off his/her dad.

[aenemaTron]

Oh, sorry. I thought it stopped before Hate Town.

[Having Fun!]

Isn't Hate Town scamboogah's birthplace?
