Oh my God we are procreating!

Shouldn’t you have to get a license for this or something?

That’s right folks, hyperjes is pregnant. She is about 7 weeks along now, so I am the proud father of a kidney bean with a heartbeat. And I am also the proud husband of a total crazy lady. So crazy, in fact, that she isn’t even going to dispute it in this thread, nor will I get in trouble for saying so. Well, not today anyway, or at least in the next five minutes. :wink: Our moods are rather…changable…as of late.

But anyway, we are very happy and excited. Speaking solely for myself, I’m a bit aprehensive. I guess 27-28 years old is a perfectly reasonable age to have a kid, but man, some days I still feel like I’m 15. I still build models of giant anime robots for Og’s sake! :eek:

Anyway, I am all over the map with this, as I guess is natural. The kidney bean’s extended family is also very excited, and none of us can wait to meet him/her. :smiley:

Congratulations. Wishing you luck with the new one.

Congrats on the procreation! I hope you are ready for the joys (!) of pregnancy and parenthood. You can do it! Rah rah rah!

A friend of mine refers to his (potentialy multiple) babies as his “shrimp” rather than kidney beans :wink:

This was their 5th and final IVF attempt and for the first time, she is pregnant! We will sound find out how many shrimp there will be, total!

Squee!

best wishes on a happy, healthy, human bean!!!

the model building will be very helpful skill when you turn it into baby furniture building.

YAY!

More Doper babies!
As we multiply we shall take over the world…except the chinese have a start on us.

Congrats!

Now you can practice on who’s bad behavior your precious little Bean acts like more during sulky moments. Our pwecious children take after my husband during these times and after me when they are perfect angels. Whatta surprise, huh?

Why does the baby need furnature? d_redguy can just build a model of Big-O and use it as a high-chair.

It’s much better to be 27 and feel like you are 15 than to be 15 and think that you are 27 when you are having a kid. And better than being 27 and thinking you need to act like you are 57.

Congratulations!

d_redguy,

Did you and hyperjes meet because of the SDMB? If so, this will be the fourth Doper baby (counting the one that Weirddave and Ginger of the North are expecting). If not, it doesn’t count as a Doper baby.

Mmmmm…clean baby smell. You are so lucky! Congrats!

Yeah, but we have the discipline to all jump off the chairs at the same time.

Congrats, good luck, you’ll be great parents!

Hurrah for reproduction! That’s awesome!

Congratulations! Yaay for babies!

(upon reading the title, I thought, you might be addicted to the SDMB if you’re interrupting “procreation” in order to post a thread about it…)

Yay! You can hump too!

Congrats!

Really? I thought you just needed both parents to be Dopers. Oh, well, take ours off the official list too then. Does this mean I don’t get the t-shirt?

Congrats to both of you, and well wishes for a healthy and easy pregnancy!

Congratulations to both of you. Now, you do realise thatyou are going to have to spend every possible moment doting on the mother of your child, attending to her every whim, don’t you? :smiley:

Thanks to everyone who responded. hyperjes and I appreciate all of your warm wishes. :slight_smile:

…and now the answering of questions and responding to various comments:

emekthian - That’s one of the best ideas I’ve heard in a while. God I hope my child fosters a healthy appreciation for anime. There certainly won’t be a lack of exposure!

BoringDad - Thank you. I think I needed that.

Wendell Wagner - No, we didn’t meet on the Dope. She wondered what the heck I was doing with all of my time for a while, and then almost immediately exceeded my post count. :smiley:

robgruver - Yes. Yes we can. And we even have proof now.

Again, thanks to everyone. We really feel blessed with all of the love that is coming our way.

Velma - I think we need an official ruling on this. I want my t-shirt.

qts - Trust me, I didn’t need you to remind me. :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks again to everyone. We really do feel blessed for all of the love that is coming our way!

So much so that I apparently needed to say it twice!

Oh congratulations! Babies are so cute!

Congratulations to you and hyperjes and here’s wishing you every happiness. My “baby” is almost 18 and it’s been a joy the whole way.
