Bun in the oven!

[Andrew]

Katie and I are expecting our third child at the beginning of July.

Oh heck, that means it is time for a minivan...

[Doc Daneeka]

Don't be one of those dorks who drives snail-slow and crap like that. I know that you'll probably want to be extra careful with 3 kids in tow but don't frget about the people behind you.

[Mr_Vindictive]

Congrats Andrew! 

[BeyondTheGrave]

Congrats!!!!

[Menard]

I think you mean a super-charged mini-van

Congrats to both of you.

[Mr. DS]

Congrats Andrew from one father to another.  Teaching your children the joys of B-Movies is something everyone should have an oppourtunity to partake in. 

[Mofo Rising]

Congratulations.

Haven't you figured out what causes that yet? Maybe you should check the water supply.


Congrats Andrew!

Thanks all.

I have an idea what might be doing it, but need to conduct more testing.

Pretty sure three is our golden number.  Both Katie and I came from families with three children, though some days she wonders what she is going to do with the two we have.  Andy has become painfully two in the last week.

Ed, if you want to hurry her along, get an old pickup truck and find a bumpy section of road.  Children are amazing, because they are every possible thing in a package this big (imagine me holding my hands about two feet apart).

The truck method works. The day before our son was born we had been running around picking up some landscaping supplies in my old 1969 Datsun pickup (I think it had solid iron bars instead of shocks).

That night when we went to bed my wife says " I think I'll wake you up for a practice run one night."

I just rolled over and went to sleep and about 20 minutes later she wakes me saying her water broke. I thought she was pulling my leg and I wasn't buying it until I felt the wet spot.

You know how it is when you get woke up and you haven't been asleep long, your brain is not in quite sync with what's going on around you (kinda like a computer that needs a reboot).

Anyway, we got the hospital and after about eight hours of inconsistent labor our 5lb 8oz screaming baby boy arrived (he was three weeks early).

We've always thought the truck ride caused it.

When Katie had Jenna, her water broke after we took a ride in my truck to a woodworking store so I could get some stuff for the kitchen cabinets I was building.  The road there (Highway 92, near Atlanta - I think) was a bit bumpy.  We had just settled down for the night when Katie jumped up and ran to the bathroom.  "Man, she has not moved that fast in months." was what came to mind, so I went to the bedroom and got the hospital bag.  When she came out of the bathroom, she told me that we needed to proceed to the hospital.  I picked up the back and opened the front door.

Katie was in labor with Jenna for something like 14 or 16 hours.  She was 8 lbs, 7 oz.  Little Andy came out quick (Katie did not make it into a delivery room) and was 9 lbs, 9 oz.  The wife has expressed the opinion that she wouldn't mind a smaller baby this time.

[trekgeezer]

Both of our kids were small, our son was 5lbs and 8oz and our daughter was 6lbs 8oz. My wife is pretty slender and only gained about 25 lbs with each kid.

She's one of those women a lot of other women hate, three weeks after giving birth she was back in the same clothes she was wearing before getting pregnant.

Kids are great! I weened my kids on the Ramones,black and white scifi,Godzilla,and  shake and bake chicken.
Good deal!Congratulations!
