OKay, not that I have been very discreet (posting to various pregnancy threads 😃 ), but I need to hear some congratulations and general well-wishing… I am now officially three months pregnant. I am due in January, this is my first bambino. I am hoping for a girl (name to be either Darby Sheridan or Hunter Sheridan). Mr.Poysyn (or Chuckles to some members of this board 😃 ) would REALLY like a boy (no name pickd out yet but I am rallying for Connor). I am mucho excited. Okay, now, I expect lots of gifts, cake, pickles, ice cream - no booze. 😃 😃 😃 ---

Congratulations **Poysyn**!!! And I love the names you’ve picked out, too! May I be the first to shower you with all the ice cream and pickles you can consume? ---

Congrats. I wish you all the happiness. Ever thought about naming the kid Chuckles if it’s a boy (laughs-a-lot if a girl)? ---

Congrats from another couple over the hump. Mrs. Moto is now at 13 weeks, and all is going very well. We’re also discussing names, but will probably wait until we know the sex of the babies until we decide. Yes…babies. 😃 ---

Mr. Moto - 😃 😃 😃 Twins? That is so exciting. There is a slight possibility of twins in my case, but I won’t really find out for sure until August 16th (ultrasound) Thanks everyone else and thanks Eve, for your ptui ptui ptui. 😃 ---

Yep, twins. We’re very lucky. We were staring at infertility treatments and this happened without too much intervention in the natural process. Good luck, Posyn, and everyone else. ---

What species is this “shameless fish”? Fresh or salt water? And, what about Naomi? 😃 🆒 ---

**Entwife** - WOW, due tomorrow?! That’s great! My sister just had hers early this morning at around 4:00. My new nephew’s name is Easton (yes, I know it’s a brand of hockey/sport equipment)
