Congratulations! And now you can find out that those people who tell you that once you have two, what’s one more…are f&\*^^%&g liars. You’re outnumbered now. Don’t ever forget that. Salem, mother of three, still sleeping with one eye open after 20 years ---

> [@Diogenes\_the\_Cynic](#): > > This sucks. We’ve had two false alarms. Every day we think it HAS to be today, but it isn’t. If she doesn’t go into labor by monday morning, they’re going to induce her. This is really getting annoying. Pizza, with lots of garlic. Works every time. what?😃 ---

This thread is useless without pics. Also, congratulations! 8 lb 6 oz is just the perfect size and I’m not just saying that because two of mine were that size, either; really, I’m not. ---

> [@Diogenes\_the\_Cynic](#): > > Rhymes with Wally. She’s the Hindu goddess of destruction. According to my Hindu coworker who proposed her name for one of our servers, the goddess of _wanton_ destruction. When our boss didn’t get it, the coworker explained that she’s not the goddess of things breaking up, or storms or stuff like that: more like the goddess of I’m So Totally Pissed And You Are Going To Pay. “Ah, the goddess of blowing things up on purpose?” “Yeah” I like the firstname-middlename combination, not that it’s any business of mine, but since you shared 🙂 Congratulations, **Dio**! ---

> [@Diogenes\_the\_Cynic](#): > > We have a baby girl. Born just before 2:00 this afternoon. 8 lbs, 6 oz. Ten fingers and toes. Screaming her head off. I am now a father of 3. How did this happen?

> [@Sampiro](#): > > Okay, it starts when a little teeny tiny Diogenes leaves your pee-pee and hooks onto the wall of your wife’s uterus, then when it’s a few weeks old it crawls up and into a pouch, and from there it turns human. They have to dance, first. The mommy and the daddy have to dance. Jeez–get it right. Congrats, **Dio!** Welcome, Kali! ---

Thanks, everybody. We came home this afternoon. Now the real work begins. I guess I’m going to have to sleep when I’m dead. Every time I think I’m out, they pull me back in. ---
