If it's a boy, Mom will need The Wonder of Boys when they get to the toad-lovin', pickin-wings-off-fly stage.

And in the "it's all about me department", I have a brand-new nephew as of today!

hi mosch, congratulations. And good luck.

I think the book is great. I am now on part III of the sequel (what to expect the toddler years) and believe me, they get worse with time. The kids, not the books.

Awwwwwwww..... great news!

Congrats mosch!! There are sooo many wonderful things coming your way. Life's fucking grand. Glad to hear all is well (of course, I am extrapolating, but what the hell!). You've been missed.

yay!

Awesome, man. Congratulations to the two of you.

they get worse with time
Oh yeah. Still waiting for the good times to kick in but, after waiting 20 years, I have pretty much given up.

They get even worse with quantity, too, but that is something you can fix - I recommend the cat operation.

Welcome back, mosch.

dg, speaking as a 20-something, a daughter's appreciation for her parents increases exponentially once she has to pay her own rent and buy her own food.

(When I was a kid, I thought my mom was a superhero and my dad was genius to boot. when I was a teenager, I thought they were both so dumb and out of it. now that I am the same age as they were when they had their first kid...god, they're superheros)

Weird, when I looked at that item on Amazon, it said that "Customers who bought this item also bought" and then it linked me to a $3,000 vibrator.

Do you know who the father is?
posted by Eideteker 19 June | 23:25
Yay mosch family! Congratulations!

nice work, mosch. (here, here! your boys can swim!) congrats to darby. best of luck.

also "wedge" would be a terrific name for a boy imho. feel free to give me a hollaback if you ever want to discuss misc daddy shit with the World's Greatest Dad (I HAVE THE COFFEE MUG TO PROVE IT, COCKSUCKERS).

(&btw happy fathers day lol)

Congratulations mosch! Also, not to derail but that book has a reputation for making people unnecessarily anxious, you might find the comments in the linked thread helpful.

Congrats, and let me know if you need any tacos.

Big congrats. Consider hiring a doula- I know many people very grateful for the information and support.

Congradulamations!

Congratulations! And I loved that book. Hey, when it comes to delivery, check out the "Bradley Method", mentioned in that book, as opposed to Lamaze. Bradley really worked for me. And it doesn't get easier. They're really cute until they become teenagers. Then they suck. My hubby says when they all finally move out, we're getting a travel trailer and giving them a P.O. box so they can't find us. ;)

Ha, we are away ahead of you, redvixen - The day the youngest turns 18 (moved out or not), we are off to become grey nomads and to start spending their inheritance. Give them a PO Box if you want, that just lets them write you letters begging for money.
