This is neither mundane or pointless but this is the place to post this. 🙂

My girlfriend and I are pregnant! (She is carrying the baby, not me.) 😃

We’re both excited, scared, happy, etc. Life is good. I hope you’re all doing well.

Sincerely,  
Tibs.

Jebus CHRIST, Tibs. Nice attention-getter. 😉

Haven’t heard from you in forever. How’ve you been (besides the obvious big news)?

Congratulations and best wishes to both, uh, make that _all three_ of you!

From this point, there are three things that you’ll hear in your lifetime that will have the greatest impact on you:

“Dada.”

“Wuv you.”

“Dad, about the car…”

Yay, Tibs! You are going to make an awesome parent! You already have the essentials, a sense of humor, basic smarts, and a realistic veiw. Now go see all the movies and eat out (err, I mean in restaurants) as much as you can before the little nipper is born.

Congratulations, **Tiburon** and family!

When are you due? Do you know if you’re having a boy or a girl? Have you started picking out names yet?

Congrats, **Tibs**! That’s great news. And since you’re not carrying the baby, it means you can have a shot of Stroh at the next Spiffled (if there is one), right? 😉

**Shayna and WickedBlue** Wheee!! Thank you for the nice congrats, everyone. The little one is due in late July and no, we don’t know what flavor yet. If a girl, we have the name Hannah in mind. If a boy…we’re still a little up in the air.

**Iampunha** , thank you for the dance 🙂

**Dyno** , I’ve been great! Let me know when you’re up for a beer at D’arcy’s. 🙂

**Rhysdad** , I’ll try not to start worrying about the car already!  
**TM** , heh - nice pun.

**Poooorrccuppine** , there has to be another Spiffled! What do you mean IF?😛

I forgot to add…if you’d like to see pictures of the happy couple, let me know by e-mailing me! [TibsTanglewood@aol.com](mailto:TibsTanglewood@aol.com)

Thanks again for the well-wishes!

Tibs.

Congratulations **Tiburon**!  
Sleep as much as possible, both of you two, while you still can.🙂

And take good care of your woman. I recommend foot rubs and make sure there’s always some good ice cream in the house.

Yay! Another Doper baby! Baby baby baby!

I would now like to make the obligatory suggestion that, if it’s a boy, you name him Cecil. I don’t think it’s such a great name, but _someone_ has to say it and it might as well be me this time. 😉

Congrats! Keep us updated.
