Congrats

As a side note, If I ever have children (God help us all) I don't think I'd want to know what sex it is before it was born, I'd like the surprise

-Indy

We didn't find out the sex of our 2 boys, the first we decided we wanted the surprise and the second, well let's just say he was too modest.

I wasnt sure this 1 would let us see and believe me she tried hard not to. lol

Had the radiologist been slower we wouldn't know that she is a she.

Wanna buy a people mover van??????????????

I think we are gonna need 1 once our girl is born lol I don't think our little 4 door toyota corolla will be big enough.

WINJETTA IS A CUTE NAME , IF YOU CALL HER WINJETTA MY MISSUS WILL GIVE YOU A FREE SET OF ACRYLIC NAILS

It's an improvement on Biffela but I think we'll stick with "Inverness".

Huh, Try four children. Doesn't work AT ALL. That's why we got an Odyssey.

Congrats you two.

StrayJuliet - You are going to carry at the WORST possible time.

Gini had Nicholas Feb 22 last year and she really suffered that last month.

I hope you have a bath at your place 'cause you're going to want to get in it to cool down in summer.

Best of luck for the next twenty weeks. Thanks for the best bit of news today.

When I have my 6 year old stay for holidays and weekends um I don't think we will be going out much lol either that or someones staying home.

I know I'm gonna be soooooooo damn hot in the last couple of months it's all Wolf's fault.

I'm glad we gave you some good news. I'll be sure to take care Wolf is always telling me to "take it easy" and put my feet up "don't do too much."

Ahhh - your Scottich heritage I see. Let's hope your daughter doesn't turn out exactly like Inverness - beautiful, but cold and windy

why on earth are congratulations traditional in these circumstances?

Here ya go kipper chops. Your magazine has turned up.

Sounds like you're still not getting any.

Lol 4 kids is good. Keepsthat middle child from turning out all crazy like. It's partially the reason my little brother exhists. Unfortunatly for me my two older sisters are the same age.....

Damn I'm slow...lost the use of work computer temporarily...sorry for resurrecting a coldish thread...

Firstly - let me offer my congratulations to Wolf and Strayjuliet on being blessed (I use the term in the non-religious way) with another child on the way! Mrs P and I have to make do with a fur baby until we have all the necessary degrees, a bit of paper that says we're married, and a house deposit...oh well, our time will come...

Fish - your post is deserving of a reply - some of your posts imply a degree of knowledge of biological sciences, but you clearly don't have a background in immunology, or you would not made some of the comments you did (Or maybe you would’ve done anyway…)

its like congratulating someone on managing to take a dump in the morning. bodily function successfully completed! w00t! backslaps all round!

Pregnancy is quite far from a 'normal' bodily function. It is more a subversion of normal bodily functions to carry out a biological necessity over and above normal bodily function.

The body is balanced on an immunological knife-edge - being forced to nourish and maintain a non-self organism within itself. Normal immune processes are subverted to avoid the rejection and killing of tissue displaying non-self antigen.

Being such an immunologically fraught process (among other things) goes some way to explaining the difficulties experienced by some in pregnancy.

why on earth are congratulations traditional in these circumstances?

That, the great importance of family, and the (sometimes) joy derived from raising the next generation would be why congratulations are traditional IMHO.
