MY WIFE IS PREGNANT!!!

“Like Dayhiker said, the classes are very interesting. We had 2 days of classes that lasted all day. 8 couples started on Saturday and only 3 returned on Sunday.

Try to stay for the whole course, you will learn a lot!

The heartbeat made me well up a bit. Wait until you see that later ultrasounds! If you get a good tech, they should be able to point out everything! You will see his/her head, eyes, hands. I lost it there! I was blubering like a baby.

Then you get here!

“I just got done talking with my sister and her screaming baby on the web cam.

I am so sorry thrifty that you will have to go through this. ;-) I'll promise you...it'll get better... after 30 years or so.

Na, j/k congrats! Kids are the best thing that can happen to a happily married couple.”

“LOL @ Gem, you speak volumes! ;-)

Congrats Thrifty, sleep now!”

“Congrats! There must be something in the water around here. ;) When is her due date?

We're doing our classes in Jan. The schedules are all screwy (because of the holidays) for our timing, so we are doing the 2 day crash course thing.”

“I suspect I'll join this thread in a couple of weeks. We've been trying since a miscarriage in July.”

“Oh man, sorry to hear that Dayhiker!

None for us now. WE will be waiting another year and a half before we start trying again.”

“due june 22...sorry to hear that dayhiker and good luck...took us almost 2 years”

“Yay for you guys!!”

“I feel for y'all, John.”

“Thanks guys.”

“Is this like a car accident___after which you have to take driving lessons?

LOL.”

“congrats!!!”

“i guess i should have put "update" in the subject line...i started this post over a month ago, i think some of you have already congratulated me LOL, that's ok, i feel doubly congratulated ;)”

“the class was pretty fun...they made all the husbands wear a 35 pound back pack on their front to simulate what the women will be carrying...i was, of course, used to the weight but having it on the front was weird...i also (re)learned all the stuff i learned in 5th grade about the food pyramid and female anatomy(hee hee, i saw a vagina)...the stuff about nutrition must have sunk in, i'm eating soup and carrot and celery sticks for lunch”

“"they made all the husbands wear a 35 pound back pack on their front to simulate what the women will be carrying..."

Welcome to my world. LOL!”

“you wear a 35 pound pregnancy simulator around? LOL”

“No, but I do look like I'm into my third trimester. LOL!”

“We just had our "big" ultrasound and my wife and mine's prayers have been answered. We both wanted a boy. Oh yea, he's healthy too. Doc says he's gonna be tall but that's no surprise. I'm 6'3" and my wife is 6'. He's also a proud boy. The doctor kept trying to measure and inspect other stuff but he kept putting is junk up front so that's all you could see. That's my boy. ;)”

“LOL
Congrads...”

“AWESOME! Congrats! Our boy is due in less than three weeks.”

“Congrats. Ya may be thrifty hiker, but you obviously weren't thrifty in that other department.”

“LOL!! Glad to hear you weren't cursed w/a girl, that would be terrible.
;-)
Congrats!”

“Well we had a boy, then I tried too hard and blew the balls of the second one. My daughter is 11 going on 16 and she is the younger of the two but definitely the more mature. Her 16 year old brother is a ....DARN Teenage boy.

Congrats on the kid. Hope he is healthy this can be a real neat moment. Is this your first?”

“I have #3 in the oven. We're not going to find out the gender this go around. Baby is due in mid Sept.”

“Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Thrifty. It's gonna help to be thrify when he arrives. It's gonna cost a bundle to raise your little bundle of joy. The first time he says dad take me camping, it will all be worth it though.”

“Hey, how did that happen?

Congrats!”

“yes XL, this is our first...if you're so inclined (or if you wanna kill time) check out the whole thread for the whole boring story

The first time he says dad take me camping, it will all be worth it though

he's not gonna have time to say that, he'll be out there before he can talk ;)”

“congrats!
my boss ran out a few hours ago to be with his wife who is due to pop.

I agree with the bateaux guy, I took the kidlets camping at 18 months (I'dve taken them earlier, but I'm not the mom) but I get a kick out of it when the girl says "are we EVER going camping again!"”

“When I came into work today there was tons of confetti and "it's a boy" confetti on my desk with streamers and signs. They also lined up little plastic babies on my computer with their butts facing me and a diaper with "poop" in it. I'm assuming it was chocolate, that's what it tasted like anyway (j/k). That confetti really did a number on my keyboard. Took me forever to get it all out.”

“Congrats. Buck is pregnant?”

“Whole lotta baby making going on! I wonder who will be next?”

“Not me.

Congrats dude!”

“LOL WK, had enough eh?”

“".......but I get a kick out of it when the girl says "are we EVER going camping again!"”

Do they have a kid named "boy"???

Is the father named Tarzan??”

“thrify - brainwash him early. Mine went camping for the first time at about 10 months. Both of mine love to go camping and they always equate camping with the Smokies. My son now backpacks a bit and loves it. It's a great experience, but you already know that.

Congrats. It only gets better from here. Well, the last 4 weeks of pregnancy aren't alot of fun.”

“Not at all Nicole. You know how Gracie is.

We are waiting another year before we try again. We want something like 3 years between.

Hey John, you have e-mail”

“Laurel's been BEGGING us to go camping and take her hiking again. Yeah!”

“Whole lotta baby making going on! I wonder who will be next?”
Spirit Coyote

why would she say this, is she trying to tell us something?”

“Congrats thrifty that is awesome news!”

“Hey Thrifty, my three boys are 6' 3" and could grow a bit more.

Your wife is 6' tall??

My wife is 5' 8" and I'm 6' 4"......be afraid!!

Good luck and enjoy your baby!!”

“Remember "encourage breast feeding" it simply means you get an extra 6 months or so of sleep.”

“hee hee, plus i told my wife if she breast feeds we'll have something to use to bring our kid back down to earth when he's a teenager and acting all high and mighty”

“Congratulations thrifty!”

“why would she say this, is she trying to tell us something?”

I took my kids to Mardi Gras in New Orleans in 2000...my son was about 13/14......they wanted to at least walk down Bourbon St....so we did....there was a group of men with cameras surrounding a woman...they were yelling.." come on "...and her husband/boyfriend was encouraging her....about the time she lifted up her shirt to show her breasts, I pushed my son into a doorway...he complained later saying " dang mom...it was my first time to see real boobs"...I told him he has seen boobs before....he was breast fed...LOL....he was a little grossed out and embaressed......LOl...It was WONDERFUL.....LOL....I totally enjoyed his reaction!!!!”

“congratulations to all you baby makers!”

“Ditto what Phil said! :-)”

“Baby's First Backpack.............I can see this one coming.............”

“Baby's First Backpack.............I can see this one coming
