Thanks Jim. I'm going to try to be the best dad I can. I just hope I can be a good enough man to pull it off. Boys are certainly easier. I know I won't have the heart to spank a little girl if she's bad. My wife will have to be the punisher.

Thanks. I figured at almost 38 years old, I should have them while I'm still young enough to raise them well.

Hey, congrats Radar! The only name advice I can give you is once you've decided, keep it a secret until the baby's born. You will be surprised how many people will just tell you, "Ew, I HATE that name! How awful!" when you tell them the name you've picked, but once the kid's actually named no one ever says anything rude.

When is she due? Don't forget to post photos when it's time... [Edit: Duh, June 1st. I can read, I swear.]

Good advice. I'm one of them. I knew a woman who was thinking of naming her son "Dijon" as a combination of her name (Direthia) and her husband's name (John.) I was more gentle than most, but she took a lot of shit for that and ended up naming the kid John.

Whew, that kid would have a lifetime of everyone asking him if he had any Grey Poupon.

I really like the name Madison too, but my wife won't go for it.

ooh, way too many Madisons around here. Blech. Plus, being in the upper midwest, I think people are talking about a city in Wisconsin all the time...

Oh, congrats Radar!!!! Hope the pregnancy is an easy one, and neither of you gain too much weight...

Had a cat named Madison. He got his name because he followed me and my ex home one night when we were walking home from the bar. He was such a sweetie but it was obvious he was in need of some care and attention. My husband said "we need to get him some medicine" to which I replied "That's it! We'll name him Madison!"
Middle name: Toto

It's amazing and even a little pathetic how exciting going out to the movies is when you are a parent of little kids. I mean, on the one hand, it's just the movies. Big freakin' deal. But you and I both know it really is a big deal. Man, it's a movie! In a theater!

She's due on June 1st, but I don't think she'll make it that long. I'm still trying to figure out why the doctor said June 1st, since she's supposed to already be 4 and a half months which would take us to May 1st. Maybe my wife didn't understand the doctor.

It's too late for the weight gain.
