Congratulations! Parenthood has been the greatest experience in my life, albeit exhausting at times. And now my son is getting to parent and loving it. Wishing the best for you and yours! Lucky baby to have you. I hereby nominate myself as little Swen’s first internet Grandpa. ---

Thanks for all the happy thoughts! I had my 12 week check up today, and everything looks good. Baby is moving around, and I got a good look at her fingers on the ultrasound. Amazing! > [@Lemur866](#): > > Heck, I’m still getting used to the idea that sven has graduated from college. Weren’t you in high school when you joined the Dope? Hahah. I was in senior year in 1999 when I found this place. This board has seen me through college, the post-college funk, Peace Corps Cameroon, China, grad school, and my brand new family. Through this time I’ve traveled to 22 countries, learned three languages, held a dozen jobs, gone through good times and bad times, and of course wasted countless hours on the Dope. ---

> [@orcenio](#): > > Might I suggest Enio. Yep; can’t go wrong with a solid name like that. 🙂 If not, you can always leave it to [fate](http://www.behindthename.com/random/)… That random name generator provided me with the name “Branislav Raginhard”. What’s not to love about a name like that? ---

Evidently I can’t wait to meet little Chukwuemeka Jerk. His?her?its? father and I will have to put in some practice pronouncing it, but at the least we’d have nine months to learn if we started today. … my next try was “Marian Ava”, which is actually quite nice. And then " Scarlet Richardine ", which cracks me up. ---

Congrats and congrats to even sven, and congrats to FrancisCastle! I’m ahead of you guys - due at the end of April - and the name generator feels we should name her Osanne Matild. I’ve heard a lot worse. ---

In other exciting Sven news, my new hubby was unexpectedly laid off today. =( I think it will work out in the end, but it’s going to be tough transition. If anyone needs a biologist in the DC area, let me know!
