Congratulations - that is wonderful and exciting. Having been through it twice, I can tell, most of the cliches are true (e.g., your life will never be the same, etc.), but when they come true for _you_, it is amazing. ---

A Very Special Congratulations from the Soup family! May it be an awesome thing in every way. By the way, **Soup** is decidedly _not_ a good name for a kiddo. Neither is **Du** or **Jour**. Just thought this would be appropriate, folks plugging names and all… :D:D:D ---

**Rue** might take exception to that. He has a kid named **Soupo** , you know. ---

See how much better “Soupo DeDay” is as a name than stinky old “Soup Du Jour”? (I kid because I care.) ---

Oooooh! Congratulations!! But I’m surprised that you didn’t wait for your 3,000th post to announce the good news! If it’s a boy, are you going to name it Uncle Bill, Jr.? ---

**NephewBill** or **Geobaby** , I’d think… ---

Hey now, I hadn’t even noticed that until you pointed it out. We’re kind of partial to Catriona (pronounced like Katrina) and Seamus at this point, but we’re quite certain we’ll change our minds in the next seven months. ---

Just cause I want to see the little one in a kilt with Daddy. > > Congrats! \*\* Umm thanks…but I’d rather not see Uncle Bills “little one” dressed up in a kilt. I suspect that’s what led to this situation with geobabe. :shudder: ---

Congratulations! Be sure to post lots of pictures, preferably bloody ones of when you’re in labour. No, really, us mods love that stuff. 🙂 All kidding aside, I hope you have a smooth pregnancy, and I can’t wait to see if the baby looks like mom come October. Because, let’s face it **UnlceBill** , it’d better. 😃 ---

I think you should name the baby “Feldspar.” It’s a good name for a boy or a girl. ---
