Slagathor.

Well, we are not revealing her actual name until her birth but in the meanwhile, we call her Myrtle.

You're going to love having a baby. And not being pregnant anymore. And, if you go that route, you will LOVE the epidural.

Tonight I made Henry laugh so hard he was snorting. I can't deal with how much I love this kid.

We've decided not to find out the gender until the birth - so we refer to the kid as "fat fat" which is a name Sam's grandma used for one of her "best friends" from childhood.

Congratulations!

[chapina]

Thanks! We're terrified and excited!

I hope to be terrified and excited one day.

[crlygrl]

You will be. So terrified. And so excited. It will happen.

Here's the fun cycle we're in right now. My almost-5-year-old usually stumbles his way into our room around 3am, half-asleep saying stuff like "I wish God didn't make bees," before crawling into our bed for the rest of the night. But there's always plenty of room in there, because my almost-2-year-old usually calls for me to come sleep in her room around midnight. She then wakes me up almost every day at 5:45 am by jumping out of her bed and onto my face. Parenthood is the bestworst thing ever.

Somebody got me tickets to a music festival on a Saturday for my birthday. And it's a really nice gift. But I in no way want to spend an entire weekend day away from Henry. Like, I don't find that relaxing, it just bothers me. I look forward to the weekends when I can hang with him.

I've become one of those lame parents who doesn't want to do anything without her kid. And it feels right.

[smartbunny]

Music festivals sound like the pits. I'd rather hang with the H-Bomb.

I know that it stinks being away from your child, but you HAVE to take a break now and then. It's the only way you're going to be able to cope with the crazy times. If you don't ever take a break and it just keeps building and building you're asking for trouble!

[crlygrl]

But all of my crazy times have nothing to do with him. He makes me feel better when I'm stressed, etc.....

[nathansmart]

Well, it's up to you, of course, but time away is a healthy thing. Especially, time spent with your husband (or boyfriend or whatever) alone!

[Adult Ed]

I don't think I could have handled a weekend away that soon; I know that my wife couldn't have (or, at least, she didn't think she could have).

[nathansmart]

and I keep forgetting how old everyone's baby is!

[TimBuktu]

If you're my Facebook friend, please don't say anything on there. Still telling people.

[nathansmart]

TOLD YOU

[TimBuktu]

I've known for 6 weeks and didn't say anything. What do I win?
