Title: Guess who's becoming a dad.
Post by: Dave Gilbert on Fri 19/10/2012 21:00:53
So we've been sitting on this secret ever since Mittens, but enough time has passed so I guess we can announce it. Janet and I are becoming parents!

Obligatory ultrasound scan pic. We're twelve weeks along. Thrilled and terrified at the same time. :)

No, but I'm told that it makes quite a lot of something else...

....Long sleepless nights... but you should be used to that by now right?

Congrats Dave & Janet!

May you have many adventures deciding who is going to change the nappy  :=

PS: Rosa and Joey should be on the suggested names list  ;)

I've got a...jeeze, almost a 14-month old (time flies). Fatherhood's the best thing that's ever happened to me. Best of luck and be extra kind to your wife during the next year and a half (pregnancy + recovery).

Let's start a dad club!

Adventure Game Dads!  I will be AGD1, you can be AGD2, and we will look deep into the souls of further joiners and assign them a number based on the order in which they join.

....or, OR, we can name the club after some famous adventure dad.  Gentle caring Graham?  Deadbeat Roger Wilco?  Tough as nails Father Torque?  Who's with me?

For names, consider how awesome an anagram can be made, e.g. Adrian Gilbert is an anagram of "Radiant Gerbil"... ;)

Congratulations!  Moving to an adventure of a different sort.  Instead of helping people who are leaving life, it will now be helping people who are entering life.  ;)

Best wishes to the three of you!

Hope you guys are doing OK today. My son was born a week before Irene last year, and we were super panicky. I know you guys aren't that far along, but it's still not the best situation to be pregnant in the midst of a massive hurricane.

Grats man, seeing the ultrasound for the first time was more scary then when she finally had him, after all the waiting I guess your just are ready.
Best of luck!
