I'm having a daughter!

[Bootstoots]

Congratulations! I hope the $0.25-0.5M (or more) eventual expenditure, baby excreta, sleepless nights, toddler excreta, wall-doodling, daycare, education system, and so on and so forth are worth it for you in the end!

I do mean that. Having children is for people far, far braver than I.

And don't forget the world stopping when they're sick. Don't know what the ear temperature line is where you stop waiting for the strep test to come back(two days) and freak out enough to ER haul for an IV/urine test.

(…) So I officially became a dad on July 16. (…)

BEST. DAY. TO BE BORN. EVER.

And don't forget the world stopping when they're sick. Don't know what the ear temperature line is where you stop waiting for the strep test to come back(two days) and freak out enough to ER haul for an IV/urine test.

The world will stop whenever they go out, too.

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. of Arcadia!

On second thought, maybe it would be best to rain check the band for a few years so you can get some sleep! How about some nice sheep to count instead?

Eh, 3 weeks is nearly like "random anytime lottery".

Eh, 3 weeks is nearly like "random anytime lottery".

Quite so. Some of them kids are a wee bit eager to get out of mommy's tummy.

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

Yeah, ours came 2 weeks early - right after the doctor assured my wife she probably wasn't showing up before the due date.

 

[Takhisis]

Did she come out with a little piece of paper with 'THE DOCTOR WAZ WRONG!' written on it?

 

[shadowplay]

That's awesome news, congrats Eran!

I was terrified that he would (just because of all the girl baby clothes we had), but no, the sonographer was right, and she was a girl.
