I’m talking about babies whose parents are (or were) both Dopers; I know there have been a ton of threads on Doper couples, but have we had one counting up the number of offspring the SDMB is responsible for? The ones I can think of off the top of my head: There’s my and **UncleBill** ’s twins, due some time in the next month. **TruePisces** and **Verrain** are expecting. **Montfort** and **Anniz** ’s little boy just turned 2. **Airman Doors** and **MsRobyn** ’s boy is…gosh, how old is he now? Others? ---

Aaron is now 3. He’s walking and talking and is an all-round Good Kid. One of these days, he’ll see the utility of potty training; at least, we hope he will. Don’t forget the WeirdNorths’ son. Robin ---

I had no idea I’d been here that long. My first post was in the congrats thread for Aaron! Good to hear he’s growing well. ---

I believe this is the complete list in order: Airman Doors and MsRobyn’s son Montfort and Anniz’s son GingerOfTheNorth and Weirddave’s son Geobabe and UncleBill’s twins TruePisces and Verrain’s child I only count cases where the parents met because of the SDMB. If the couple met somewhere else but are both posters now, well, sorry, but that’s not a Doperbaby. Oh, and congratulations, Geobabe and UncleBill. I hadn’t heard that you were expecting. ---

> [@saramamalana](#): > > \*\*Gorgon Heap \*\*and \*\*Acrylic\_Vessel \*\*have a son, unless I’m mistaken. I don’t believe they met through the boards. I guess I didn’t express myself very clearly in my OP (brain = mush), but I was thinking of, as **Wendell Wagner** said, babies whose parents met here. And thank you, **Wendell** ; I did announce the pregnancy a while back, but one thread is easy to miss, and I wouldn’t expect you to be reading all the pregnancy threads (unless there’s something I should know…😉 ). ---

**kittlenlm** and I are waiting on the [little turkey](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=310238). Originally due on Thanksgiving, but after a recent early labor scare, the docs are now hoping s/he’ll stay in until the 32-35 week mark. :glances at calendar: Meaning I could be a father in under a month! Ahhh! :eek: ---

Hal Briston, did you and kittenlm meet because of the SDMB? Geobabe writes: \> unless there’s something I should know… Not unless there’s something I should find out about also. ---

> [@Geobabe](#): > > :smack: I can’t believe I left them off! Der. I blame pregnancy for making me brain-dead. Hmmph! Now I’m glad I sent that bag of baby clothing we had saved for you to Katrina victims. 😛 BTW, Geo, we had collected a bag of baby clothing for you guys, but we decided that Katrina victims were likely in greater need, so we sent it there, I hope you don’t mind. We’ll have more clothing for you soon, the boy is growing like Kudzu. ---

Don’t ask me why I capitalized “kudzu”, I have no idea. I’m talking about the weed, not the comic strip. ---

We’ll have more clothing for you soon, the boy is growing like Kudzu. I know, I know! My excuse is I’m only getting about 3 hours of sleep a night. That, and you hardly ever post to LJ these days. Out of sight, out of mind, you know. 😛 That’s fine; better they go to someone who really needs them–we’ve gotten a boatload of clothes from various sources already. As I’m sure you well know, people looooooove giving baby clothes. No danger of naked babies around here! ---
