I'm Pregnant!

[KWhit]

Well, I'm not, but my wife is!

As of today she is 15 weeks pregnant.

I have been somewhat superstitious about sharing this with many people (we've had our share of "issues" making this happen) but she has officially moved into the 2nd trimester, so it's pretty safe to let the world know. It's not like anyone who sees her can't tell anyway... She is very obviously pregnant to anyone who knows her.


We've started to discuss names, and I'm hoping for:

Vince


or

Herschel


Even if it's a girl. I don't think she'll go for that, though.


:D

[Neuqua]

Congratulations, glad to hear it.

[jeff061]

Congrats man.

[WSUCougar]

Congrats! Is this your first?

And I had my heart set on Frodo for a boy and Galadriel for a girl... :(

[Silver Owl]

Congratulations !

[Bonegavel]

If girl, Paige Davis Jimmy Page
If boy, Johann Sebastian Tallyman

enjoy your sleep while you can. :D

[Abe Sargent]

How about Beowulf? That's a stonger name than any Vince or Herschel.

Congrats! My wife is coming up on the beginning of the 6th month.

Speaking of pregnancies, isn't Frogman past due?

We need news on the little tadpoles...

[revrew]

Congrats!

..and by the way, for those of you who know about my family, we were in for a surprise this morning. We found out my wife is NOT pregnant!

[The_herd]

Congrats. Get all the sleep you can now and remember your wife the way she is now. She will become an evil demon with incredible power over the next 6-8 months.

Term limits work, I guess. Haven't you been stopped at 8?

Hmmm, that's odd. My wife was an evil demon before and after the pregnancy. Those 9 months were super. :D

[JonInMiddleGA]

LMAO at Buzzbee

[JonInMiddleGA]

dola -- I've got the perfect name, in keeping with the UGA theme ...

Loren -- works for a girl or a boy

[The_herd]

For me it was during the pregnancy and the 2-3 months following. I actually considered going the Catholic Priest route, but in the end decided against it figuring that some evils are just to powerful.

[digamma]

Jim also has a nice ring to it for Donn_n.

Congrats!!

[Vince]

I like your first name choice :)

Congratulations!

[Eaglesfan27]

Congratulations! I hope everything goes well and you (and your wife) have a happy, healthy baby :)

[Coffee Warlord]

I'm still waiting for SOMEONE from the FOFC to name their kid Dean Houston.

[Darkiller]

Congratulations !!!

If the wife and I decide to have a 2nd child, I'll throw that name out there, but I would expect a quik rebuttal.

[GrantDawg]

Congrats! I think Vince is a great girl's name. Of course, my daughter's name is Blake. :)

[KWhit]

Thanks guys. Yes it is our first. We've been trying to have a child for almost 2 years now and have been told by 2 Doctors that it would be almost impossible for us to do it naturally. So we were about to start up some fertility treatments when BANG! What do you know!

Things are going pretty well so far. She's tired all the time and has had serious bouts of nausea almost every day. Strangely, the only thing that seems to help the nausea is eating, so she eats about 20 meals a day.

I made the mistake of saying something along the lines of "You're eating for two, not ten!" and um... I won't go into details, but for future reference, never say that to a pregnant woman. Trust me.

So we were about to start up some fertility treatments when BANG! What do you know!Congrats! My wife and I started trying for our second when our daughter was nearly three and things looked bad for a while. We went to a fertility specialist after a few years of trying in order to talk and set up future appointments. When we returned for some major tests, the first thing they ran was a pregnancy test on my wife and, lo and behold, I had knocked her up! Some times, things just work out. :)

good news. the middle trimester is usually the easiest part of the pregnancy. the nausea tends to subside, and the woman usually hasn't yet grown into something roughly the same size as Barney (with the same mobility). essentially, you have about a 3 month break...which is only to give you time to prepare for the 3rd trimester. Two words "Look OUT!". :)

congratulations.

[hukarez]

"Magnus" is a good boy's name. :)

Like the Simpsons, where Homer changed his name to "Max Power"!

I've been watching too many "World's Strongest Man" competitions...

Sage advice, that. I'll add a warning of my own: never, under any circumstances, should the word walrus be used around a pregnant woman. That's a good way to Kervorkian yourself.

Congrats KWhit!

[FBPro]

Congrats, good job!!!

[Mota]

Yeah my wife is 8+ months pregnant right now and we're finally enjoying it. 6 months of throwing up every day, sometimes almost all day. It was really tough. Finally she got over it in the 7th month and now we're having a blast. Can't wait to see the little guy!

Congrats!

[Wasabiak]

Congratulations! I hope everything goes well.

[KWhit]

It's funny... I've always said that I don't care if it's a boy or a girl. And I don't, it's true. BUT... The other day we went into a baby store and started looking at cribs and wallpaper and bedding (just for fun, we're not buying anything yet, obviously) and I took a look at the girly stuff - flowers, bunnies, random pink crap, etc. Then I looked at the boy stuff - blankets with baseballs & footballs, rocketships, dinosaurs, etc. and for the first time thought of how cool it would be to have a boy.

Also, I'd probably kill any punk boy who came near my little girl. And by little girl, I of course mean any age until I'm dead.

:)

[JonInMiddleGA]

My wife still tells the story (her version anyway) of the reaction I had when we found out the baby would be a boy.

After the doctor answered my question of "Are you sure" with (no kidding) "See that right there? That's not his finger", well ... I don't really remember much after that.

[Craptacular]

I'm still waiting for SOMEONE from the FOFC to name their kid Dean Houston.

Anyone know that there is a marketing company called Dean Houston?

[AnalBumCover]

Congrats dude!

[Flasch186]

the USFL Championship trophy is named the Herschel Walker Trophy.....so herschel'd be cool.

[JeeberD]

Congratulations!

I've already go a name picked out for my first born son, and amazingly enough it's not sports based. Brendan Isaac...I really like the sounds of that. :)

[korme]

Jeeber, that just means you are going to end up with all girls if you keep thinking like that.

[JeeberD]

No kidding... :D

The girlfriend has a couple of girl names picked out. But there's no way I'm going to allow a daughter of mine to be named Emma, which is one of her first choices...

[tucker342]

Come on guys, Cletus is the only way to go:D

By the way, Congrats!

[Glengoyne]

Harlan is a nice strong boys name I think

[fantastic flying froggies]

Maximus should be a popular choice in these parts...

:D

[FrogMan]

Congratulations KWhit!!! Many, many good times will come... The first one's a toughie, but you'll get used to it ;)

Some have given advices, so I'll go along with mine too: a pregnant woman is always, and I mean ALWAYS right :)

Speaking of pregnancies, isn't Frogman past due?

Not to threadjack, but as a matter of fact yes, I am, err, we are, err my wife is past due. Theoretical due date was January 7th. She had her final checkup exam with her doc yesterday and date of induction has been set for this coming Thursday, if kiddo doesn't want to come out before then... He's following the path of his older brother, who had to be induced 2 weeks past the due date. There was no way the wife was gonna let it slip a full 2 weeks past the due date this time around... :)

I'll keep you all posted when something happens...

My wife was nauseous (feeling) twice with our first one, and was a bit more nauseous with the second, but it only lasted the first couple of months and she never actually got sick. Guess we got lucky...

[Wolfpack]

Trust me, you won't miss a thing if it's a girl and not a boy. My daughter's now seven weeks and I'm continually amazed that she's here. What's more, she's now beginning to grasp there's a little more going on in the world and that she can begin to control and manipulate things (she's already got control and manipulation of people down pat, though... :) ). It's not making connections yet in her mind, but you can see her working on it a bit from time to time.

My wife is already expecting me to turn her into a sports fan. Heh. :)

[cuervo72]

No kidding... :D

And what is wrong with the name 'Emma'?? (um, besides the fact that everyone is using it these days).

[daedalus]

Congrats. :)

[Franklinnoble]

Congrats!

Sleep now. Sleep often. Because you will not sleep when the baby gets here. :D

I have a 3 month old, and he eats like a starving animal. Of course, he's huge - already wearing 9 month old clothes. He's got "middle linebacker" written all over him.

I suppose I could have given him a more menacing name, but we went with Franklin Noble Brown, Jr.

Then again, everyone around the house calls him by his nickname.... Bubba.

:D

[JeeberD]

Ehh...it really doesn't work well with my last name. I'm not a huge fan of name alliteration...

[cuervo72]

Ehh...it really doesn't work well with my last name. I'm not a huge fan of name alliteration...

Ah, good point, I hadn't thought of that. I'm not in favor of alliteration in that case either. Team names, yes. People names, not so much.
