Bun in the oven!

Boy, and it seems like just yesterday when you announced the last bundle of joy!  Time must be speeding up for me...

Congratulamations!

[odinn7]

Wow...more power to you...I have one and she wears me out (of course, I'm an old man)...

Congratulations!

[ulthar]

Congrats to Andrew, Katie, Jenna and Little Andy.

Whew.  After our second, we thought 'there is NO WAY we could handle a third."  With one, you can split time.  With two, you can divide and conquer.  With three, you are outnumbered....   

[Gerry]

Congrats, Andrew! (just saw this).

Michelle and I are expecting our third too, due at the end of February.  No way am I getting a minivan though.  I'll drive two cars everywhere before I do that...or see if I can find an old wood-panelled station wagon that's still in good working condition.

[Andrew]

Indeed, I think that three will change the balance of power in the house.  The good thing is that Jenna will be four and getting more manageable.

Hey, how many children does Nathan over at Cold Fusion have?  Three?  Odd, that...

[Dennis]

Congratulations Andrew, Katie and family, in spite of all the pain in the neck problems kids can cause you,(seem to be different ones at each stage they go through), children are truly one of the Lord's greatest blessings.

Give the man a cigar!

I can't imagine what it's like to have kids.
Sometimes, a wife and kids seem light years away to me and I'm going on 33 years old.
One of these days I'll get hitched and have a kid.
One of these days...

Anyway, what are you hoping for...a boy or a girl?

[Gerry]

Hey, how many children does Nathan over at Cold Fusion have?  Three?  Odd, that...

I was thinking four, but it could be three.  You kind of lose track after they reach a certain critical mass, not to mention when they bring all their friends over.  I think we had 8 kids at our house at one point yesterday and only two of 'em are ours.

[Andrew]

Ash, since we already have one of each - either would be fine with me.  Katie has often said she does not mind which we get.  To that, I replied that I would rather not live in a house with four women once the girls were teenagers.

When I was growing up, there was a family next door.  The father wanted a boy, but their first was a girl, so was the second.  They decided to try a third time - twin girls.  After that, they quit.

Gerry, I think it must be all the wide open spaces out in UT.  Nathan looks around, sees all the empty land and says to himself, "What this needs is more people."  (You know, it would be funnier if I knew Nathan were reading this).

Yup, always a lot of fun when you get a bunch of kids together.  Todd and Jenn's birthday party saw all the fathers rounding up the children (along with stray adult males without children) and herding them home from the restaurant while the girls stayed to talk.  I think we had six adults and ten children, the oldest of which was eight.   Most were four and under.  It was an interesting walk by to Todd's house, then we positioned ourselves at strategic chokepoints and kept the kids in the "safe areas."

Andrew, I grew up in a house with 6 female type people, my mother and 5 younger sisters, my dad was always running of to the store for shall we say, unusual items, when I got a driver's licence I got to take over the business. I found it embarrassing, the degree of which depended on what I was having to buy.

Now if we could just get all of them to move out into the desert where they belong.  My wife's dad lives in Cleveland...Cleveland, Utah that is.  They have a higher population of dinosaur fossils there than they do people.

I always enjoy it when "chokepoint" and "kids" are used in the same sentence.

Somebody should start a Rescue for young men trapped in a situation like that.  Thinking up the acronym could be a delicate affair.

English can be a fun language.  Hey, did they ever approve "Spork" as a word?

Congrats, Andrew, despite becoming outnumbered in your own home, you should be an old pro at the parenting game by now.

My sister and her husband are expecting their first in March, my cousin's wife is due with their first child in about 10 days. Another cousin and his wife have their first who just turned 6 months around X-Mas. Lots of babies in my extended family lately, luckily we found out I have the hidden talent of being able to rock a child to sleep quite easily. I'm suddenly more popular among my relatives.

One of my aunts wanted a girl so bad she kept trying, and got four boys before they decided it was time to give up.

Congrats on the move from man-to-man coverage to playing zone defense.

    My parents did the "try until we have a girl" game. I was the fourth and a girl...Hanging around with three older brothers made me a tomboy and the Salvation Army happy to get all those pretty dresses and curlers. Congrats Andrew.
