Baby Trek II: The Wrath of Siblings

[ares93]

Try to help her not stress too much, and just focus on being healthy for the baby. Healthy vibes to mom and baby!

Indeed. And another painful lesson; If you "screw up" just take a deep breath, swallow your pride, look guilty and say sorry. The stress is far easier on you then her(them). While its crap now, its better in the long run.

My sister in law threw a computer at me a few weeks ago. I can safely say that while MCA's are lightweight, they do hurt, a lot.

Congratz by the way.

Good luck. Down with ectopics and tubals, up with the uterus.

Congratulations Guartho! I hope everything goes well.

 

[Ashu]

Eeeek! Babies! Congrats

I don't get the "wrath of siblings" part....(confused look)

Apparently its his second kid. Ergo, siblings....

 

[Kemaiku]

Congrats

 

[propita]

Congrats!

It always cracks me up when people say "they're trying" to have a kid. You know that heave been going at it like rabbits. Bad part is that thought leads to images I'd really don't want in my head.

So now we know why you haven't been posting as much lately.

eta: corrected the typo, but too late for Guartho’s quote of it

 

[Guartho]

Yep, it's because it will be the second child. Now there will be siblings and I will no longer automatically know who to blame and if I'm being lied to.

So now we know why you having been posting as much lately.

Actually, I've been making an effort to spend less time here and be more productive. Part of that effort was shutting off my TNZ access since the vast majority of my posting was in there. So, if you're a TNZer it does indeed look like I dropped off the face of the earth. In actuality I'm spending almost as much time here, I've kind of just shifted over to the Sci-Fi/Fantasy and Doctor Who forums.

Guartho: Good luck at the doctor's office. I hope you come back with great news.

 

[KimMH]

Hoping for good news for you all!

Congrats!

Of course, now you have to switch from a zone to a man-to-man defense.

Please forgive my naïveté, but since I’m familiar with neither sports nor pregnancy, would you care to explain the analogy?

 

[NCC1701]

^ It must be an American Football term. Believe me, I'm as confused as you are.

Anyway Guartho, congrats to you and your wife, and first child as well, who will be trying to hog up as much of the limelight as possible. My girlfriend is a preschool teacher, so I've heard a lot of these kinds of stories already!

 

[Aurian]

Congratulations.. I hope all will be easy from this point on..

Actually I think it's basketball .

 

[RoJoHen]

It's both.

 

[scotpens]

I understand the difference between zone and man-to-man defense in sports. I just don't get what it has to do with the OP's wife's pregnancy.

 

[ares93]

I'm baffled by this also. But if I know you lot like I think I do, it'll be something crafty.

 

[Guartho]

It's for after the pregnancy when we're parenting two instead of one. So one parent for each child = man to man.

Blimey! That was actually quite clever, why didn't I realize that? Must be the lack of sleep...
