Announcement!

[Pirate Bill]

Congrats you two! You'll make great parents.

Congratulations!! I'm so excited for the both of you!

Just remember if you're bathing the baby in the sink - unplug all the nearby appliances so you don't electrocute the baby when he or she randomly grabs hold of a cord and yanks (like my Mom did to me.)

Luckily, we lived almost across the street from a hospital. As Mom tells me, when she returned, the front door was wide open and the water in the sink was still running.

(I wasn't actually killed during the electrocution - I know you were wondering how it ended).

Also, don't leave hot irons ironing boards when baby is crawling and trying to pull up on things.

And don't leave baby aspirin laying around where your child might think they are candy and eat the bottle. (not that they give kids aspirin anymore or that they don't have child proof caps nowadays.)

Sheesh - looking back - it's amazing she didn't kill me!

Oh and NEVER tell a toddler that their poop looks just like a brownie. Trust me.

LOL - my son used to really love him some fruit loops. One day he over indulged and his poop was green and blue! This was about the time he was potty training and I made a comment about the colorful poop looking like gum balls. For weeks we had to name what his poop looked like.

Banana poop.
Blueberry poop.
I don't remember them all - must have really tried to block that out.

Really - your poop looks like poop son.

Also, never prevent your child from ever coming to any harm. 'Cause then they'll grow up to be whiny little pains in the butt.

For sure for sure, these days subcutaneous GPS transponders combined with an invisible fence "attention" unit make the old child leash totally obsolete.

I heard you really liked the husband model of that unit that your wife had installed.

I think you should post your progress on the LoT - there are plenty of wordy threads that have gone on far longer than 9 months !!

also, on further examination of your ultrasound, I have spotted a clue as to how the kid might grow up...
