Congratulations. Our littlest is 4 months and just starting to roll over. She’s so cute.
I imagine the hardest part will be - giving up your blanket for the baby.
Walter is, of course, Walter Mitty.
My choice in drinks is a four letter word. BTW, people hate it when I swim around in their drinks swearing.
Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.
Congratulations, man… I’m so happy for you. 
Our little group is growing up. You have a kid on the way, **Corner ** just had one a few months ago, NCB’s just learned to use a knife and fork, viva’s getting Alzheimer’s (see “I Got Borg!” for details), and I’m no longer living in my mom’s proverbial basement.
It’s enough to bring a tear to your eye.
so… little Sally finally got her wish, eh?
Remember, in our world, if the kid ends up with pointy ears, attenae, or a tail, it’s a good thing.
Congratulations, Mr. Dude! Try not to annoy your wife (girlfriend, cousine, stranger you married on the first date, whatever…) too much for the next 22 months or so.
Wait! How long is Hoo-mahn gestation?
Really?
Well, still… remember the 22 months thing, a new life form is a handful. Hey! We’re getting a new life form! Be sure and link pics of first contact.
I’m sure Aes will take two. 
He can have another one if he PAYS for it!
Cheep, cheep. Are you sure you don’t want any?
Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Linus!
Considering the kid is already on the way, I think First Contact has already been initiated.
I think that is what NoClue wanted pictures of 
.
Congrats Linus. Kids are the most rewarding and wonderful thing you can do with your life (or so I’ve heard 
).
Thank you for the kind words, everyone.
We’re actually getting a preview of sorts right now. My brother-in-law and his family are visiting, including our adorable twenty month old neice and 5 month old nephew. When they are being sweet and lovable, we spend a lot of time going “awww!” (when she called me “uncle” for the first time, I turned into a little puddle of sentimental goo). When they are being… let’s say “less adorable”, we occasionally wonder what the heck we are getting ourselves into.
Speaking of things that’re almost two years old, I just realized this thread is right at eighteen months old.
Man. That’s hard to believe.
It’s a toddling thread.
Ent’s season premiere is Oct. 8.
You left out “exhausting” and “heartwrenching to the point of despair when they get beat up at school”. Hope this helps.
“You be sein’ a lot of it real soon, Mr. Rhett.”

My wife’s co-worker described having children as “the best and worst thing that ever happened to me.” From what I’ve seen of my friends before, after, and with their kids, it seems appropriate.
I like pies.
I like Enterpies.
Do you like to enter pies?!
this one time
in space camp…
You fooled with the Captain’s log?
I spotted dick, I did!
Say goodnight, Dick.
You should see doctor about that.
Spotted Dick would make a good name for a boat. It’s better than Drowned Baby, anyhow.
