Congratulations count, that's great news.

I would recommend reconsidering the whole "surprise" thing though. It was wonderful to know ahead of time that my two children were girls. You can have everything set up (nursery/bedroom, clothes, etc.) before the baby is even born. Although it did give away any excuse of paint fumes if my children were a little loony, now all I got is me for the cause of the problem

(Fortunately my daughters, they are very smart and the oldest is doing extremely well in school).

Congratulations, Count!!! Take it from me and the rest of the Dad's here at RU, your life will never be the same. (In a good way) Two weeks in, it is BY FAR, the toughest but most rewarding challenge I've ever faced. I'm scared when Tenser says it only gets harder.

Also, we here with the Grumpy Old Men sincerely appreciate your efforts to fit in with the group. Impending fatherhood will always score points with us!

Yep, when they start walking, you're screwed. It requires you to slowly adapt to them as they age.

Friday my 4yo boy came home from pre-k and asked me why I don't own a gun. Fun times.

Thanks everyone, I do appriciate it. its going to be a fun ride but I tell ya right now my wife is not that far along but the mood swings are bad I hope that gets better as time goes on.

@sabby,
the reason that we are doing the suprise thing is that my wife wants it that way and I am just going to go along with it. We are going to get everything in unisex until the baby is born. I may try and talk her out of the suprise thing but I dont think that it will work due to the fact that I have been trying to talk her out of it for a long time now. If anything changes I will update it in here and then everyone will know.

**Kugyince** · 10-22-2008, 03:39 AM

It's a boy. I'll bet you 10k points.

**Tails** · 10-22-2008, 07:25 AM

I told him in pm I think its a boy too, seeing that him and oasis tend to do the opposite.

**Ashums** · 10-22-2008, 01:06 PM

Any ideas for names yet? Name it Ashley

**samejamesbond** · 10-22-2008, 01:55 PM

Congrats Count, good luck.
(Your gona need it)

**count100** · 10-22-2008, 02:57 PM

@tenser I am already thinking its a boy so everyone on here can take bets til its born and then I will reveal the gender ;D

Don't Push it Tenser...

It's his choice

**count100** · 10-23-2008, 02:34 AM

ok guys if you want to know then I will tell what the names are, if its a boy it will be bryce, and if its a girl it will be melody.

Tenser you gave me a idea for the gender, if anyone likes the idea. I will put up a thread in forum games to guess the gender of the baby. I will post a link to it here and I will take the first 20 people (if not 20 then how ever many there are, but not over 20)to go on the thread with a guess. The way that it will work is 100 points are on the line and if you guess correctly on the gender I will give you 100 points and if you guess incorrectly then you give me 100 points. If anyone is interested in this idea then I will make the thread quickly. So let me know your thoughts on it.

Thanks for the news bulletin, Captain Obvious.

**count100** · 10-23-2008, 03:55 AM

Well tenser I thought it was a good guess. Now everyone knows the names of it so we dont need guesses on that one anymore. ;D

**count100** · 10-26-2008, 02:35 AM

**Timber Wolf** · 10-26-2008, 09:53 AM

the "guess the gender of count's baby" game, I was watching random news stuff and it told me something that helps with guessing the gender of someones children.

**count100** · 10-26-2008, 01:22 PM

well then why not add your guess then. the way that I look at it, its a 50/50 chance on getting it right or wrong. ;D

**Timber Wolf** · 10-26-2008, 02:15 PM

lol I will, once I find out what I need to know
