Baby on the way

[Andre Fairchilde]

I haven't talked to Emerald Rose about my announcing this, but here we go...

ER and I have another baby (our second) on the way, due in January.

[Kaelaroth]

Congratulations! :smallsmile:

[Player_Zero]

Teach it in base thirteen! And speak only in French in its presence! It's your only chance to perform social experimentation!

[Jibar]

Weeeeeeeeee!
Baby!
I love babies!
Congratulations to the both of you and, well, well done Andre. :smallwink:

[Charity]

Congrats to the pair of you.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Grongratulations!
Now I need to see both of them when I come and visit next year.

[St.Sinner]

Congratulations to you :smallsmile:

[Gem Flower]

Congratulations!:smallsmile:

[banjo1985]

Congratulations ER & Andre!

[Trog]

Been busy, have we? :smallamused:

Congratulations to the both of you! :smallsmile: In a few short years you will get to enjoy the wonder that is... sibling rivalry! :smallwink: Don't worry, Trog'll prepare you. *ahem* Repeat after Trog:

"Don't make me turn this car around!" :smallmad:

[Lord Herman]

Congratulations! :smallbiggrin:

[RabbitHoleLost]

Oh, yay!
Baaaabbby~
Congratulations!

[SMEE]

Ohhh! Baby!!! :smallsmile:

Congratulations for you two. :smallsmile:

[BRC]

Ooh, Yay, Congrats!

[Dallas-Dakota]

What ^ actually is. Yay, another one to join the revolution!


:smalltongue:

[smellie_hippie]

Congrats Andre and ER!!

Does this mean that you're both cutting back on coffee intake? Or are you gonna name him/her Mocha Java? :smallamused:

[Dragonrider]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaay! :smallbiggrin:

As I recall, you'll have a reasonable gap between your two, which might cut rivalry down a bit. For a while. :smallamused:

*Is 19 mos older than nearest sibling and knows the rivalry game well*

[CurlyKitGirl]

Many congratulations to you both!

But let me tell you, sibling rivalry is actually worse the larger the gap.
Five years between me and Little Sister and we fight every day. Up to and surpassing 'Don't make me take away your [swearword] books! I swear to God I'll do it!"

If it's another boy be prepared for fights and 'accidental' toy throwing at each other.

[Dallas-Dakota]

If its another boy. Be prepared.

When my brother and I were 6 and 9, I accidentally jumped on his wrist.
Can't remember if it was broken or simply twisted or such...

[Mountain_Faerie]

This is sooo exciting! How's ER feeling?

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Congratulations!

[EmeraldRose]

Congrats Andre and ER!!

Does this mean that you're both cutting back on coffee intake? Or are you gonna name him/her Mocha Java? :smallamused:

Yes, I have had to go back to unleaded again :smalltongue: There are days it is tough, but most of the time I'm so exhausted anyway that it doesn't make any difference.

@ MF: I'm mostly feeling tired, though there has been a huge amount of stress and anxiety. Next appt is on Tuesday. Things are going pretty well this time.

[SDF]

A new baby? Congratulations, blast fax kudos all around!

Any name ideas yet?


But let me tell you, sibling rivalry is actually worse the larger the gap.

I'm 7 years older than my brother and we get along pretty well. But the age gap was so much that we never really did anything together.

[Lupy]

Congratz Adre and ER!

Now to add to your parenting advice:

X stop hitting Y!
Y, didn't I just tell X not to do that? Then why are you!
You can tell me anything... WHAT???

:smallbiggrin: Best of Luck.

[FoE]

So, the baby's coming in January. Is that how long it's taking to order one? If so, why not go down to the store to buy one?

On a totally serious note, my dad used to tell me babies came from the grocery store. And then he'd joke I came from the bargain bin of defective babies, and when they got me home, all I did was lie around on my belly, so they thought about returning me.

I can't wait to traumatize my own children with this stuff. :smallamused:

[Phase]

Take a picture of him/her every day against a solid colored background. Then, when he or she is eighteen, show a slideshow!

[Lupy]

Phase... That... Is... EPIC! They have to do it now.

And I just realized that FoE is a bugbear, :smalleek: it's only been a few weeks?

[Collin152]

Aw, I love babies.
Raise it well. And by well, I mean roleplayer.
And I insist you name it after me. Lucien is such a good name for a boy or a girl.

[Bor the Barbarian Monk]

Gods above and below, THEY'RE BREEDING! :smalleek:

I mean...ummm...Congratulations! May it be a healthy specimen that survives the experiments...

Wait. I messed up again, didn't I? :smallconfused:

I want good things for your child...like superpowers. Perhaps bathing it regularly in a vat of toxic waste?

*sigh*

Maybe I should just leave it at "Congratulations" instead of demonstrating my would-be skills at being a parent? :smalltongue:

[The Orange Zergling]

Congratulations! :smallsmile:

[Skippy]

Congratulations to both of you!!

[Zeb The Troll]

That's great news, you guys!

*sets to work trying to figure out how to have an online baby shower*

:smallcool:

[North]

Much congrats to you too! :smallbiggrin:

[Dallas-Dakota]

If it´s a boy, I insist you call him William.

[Castaras]

CONGRATULATIONS ER AND ANDRE!


pray that the poor child's gonna be a girl. That'll make sibling rivalry less, hopefully.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Brother relationships can be good too!


You just have to shape them both into geeks.....

[PhallicWarrior]

Awww, I love babies! You should give it a forum handle at birth. Make it a combination of your's like Andre Rose or Emerald Fairchild! (Actually, both of those would work well.) Congrats, in case the above didn't get that across.

P.S. Castaras, you have too much time on your hands.

[Zephra]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Morning Sickness!!!!! Yayyyyyy! ...no, wait....

seriously, though. that's increadeble!

[Supagoof]

If it´s a boy, I insist you call him William.
Is amused. Either DD knows or doesn't know, but either way it is still amusing.

I'm quite sure the kids will be D&Der's, after all ER only married Andre for the experience. At least, that's what her shirt said.

Congrats again guys! That at least explains the tremors I felt a few months ago at my house around 3am.

Which reminds me of a joke....

No I don't.

I just have a good site for multicoloured text. =P

I concur!

AHAAHAAAA!!!

Classic. Simple and concise. Love it.

[Eldritch Knight]

Congratulations. May you hair not turn gray for a long time. (It's been proven by my family, the more children you have the faster your hair turns gray. (at least in women, for the men, it's more 'What hair?))

[Collin152]

(at least in women, for the men, it's more 'What hair?))

Hm...
I'm the fourth of five childer.
My mother is 50-something. Totally gray.
My father is... 52? His hair hasn't changed since he was 20. Not length, not style... It's kinda creepy.

[Nychta]

Congrats, guys! May your child be blessed with Goof's humour, Bor's kindness, Llama's silliness, Shadow Freshmeat's cunning (:smalltongue:), Curly's ability to spell, annndd.... everything good about everyone here.


Good luck!

[Collin152]

annndd.... everything good about everyone here.


My ability to Mindrape?

[Nychta]

My ability to Mindrape?

Gods, woe betide the children who attempt to bully your son or daughter, Andre and Emerald.

[Shadow]

My ability to Mindrape?No.
Not at all.

Now go stand in the corner and think about what you've done.

[Collin152]

Hey, the three good fairys bestowed their gifts, just be glad Maleficient diddn't Mindrape the child . It's a good gift!

[adanedhel9]

Congrats guys - you'll almost have enough to start your own geek clan.


If it´s a boy, I insist you call him William.

Tritto on the amusement here - if it's just coincidence, then it's quite an amusing coincidence. If not, it conjures up some amusing images. Talk about sibling rivalry!

[Collin152]

Okay, I'll bite. What's funny about the William thing?

[EmeraldRose]

*smacks Collin* Bad Collin! No soup for you!

And can there be any doubt our children will be gamers? Our son already has more swords than most adults do...granted they're plastic, but still.

How many would believe that Andre has actually suggested Kelda or Emerald Rose for a girl?

[Collin152]

*smacks Collin* Bad Collin! No soup for you!


The Maleficient thing?
You don't slap the thing working dark magic on yo' baby!

[Pwenet]

Congratulations on the upcoming spawning ;)

Wish you two the very best.

[Zar Peter]

Congratulations!
I'm very happy for you!

And for names... William sounds good. You minimize the chance to confuse the names. You could call them kid 1 and kid 2 or big and small, it really helps when you forget who's who!

Or maybe Andre for a boy?

[Ranna]

Aww bless you both congrats!!! No shellfish now.

[Szilard]

pray that the poor child's gonna be a girl. That'll make sibling rivalry less, hopefully.

I only fight with my sister....

[Andre Fairchilde]

Re - William 1 and 2... HA HA HA!

I already recommended Emerald Rose for a girl and have been denied, so probably not.

Thanks everyone!

[Dallas-Dakota]

*feels in the know*

*is actually out of the know*

*feels stupid*

[PaladinFreak]

Fabulous! :smallbiggrin:

My sister is only a year and a half older then me, so that has been crazy occasionaly. The only one who I really fight with anymore is my brother who is four years younger.

[Collin152]

I recommend the name Aurora for a girl.
Or a guy. Break the mold!

[Nychta]

eeek no please.

Aurora is a name difficult to pronounce if someone else speaks only Chinese (I tested all of these on my friend) and this could possibly piss your child off really badly.

So I suggest Ni! And then you can knight your child. And then you will have a Knight (of) Ni!

[Jontom Xire]

Congratulations.

Lucky guys. Wish I had kids.

<feeling broody>

[Vibrant]

Official congrats!! :smallsmile::smallsmile::smallsmile:

My personal refrain for the last 15 months has been, "Brianna, I know you love your brother, but get out of his face already." You might want to start practicing that one.

[Zar Peter]

In my opinion the most used phrase with more than one kid so far was: "If you don't stop quarreling I turn off the TV/Radio/Computer/Wii". :smallwink:

[Dallas-Dakota]

But pulling plugs out is way more efficient and cruel!

[Shraik]

pray that the poor child's gonna be a girl. That'll make sibling rivalry less, hopefully.

That's not nessecarily true. My sister tormented me until I was 12, when I was finally bigger then her.
She beat me with a force FX lightsaber once...to be fair I came at her with it and she took it, but its the fact she beat me with it!

But yes,
Congrats to the baby-ness. Babies are...baby like. I dunno what to say other then congrats, I'm only 15

[Mauve Shirt]

Congratulations guys!

I also need to ask, what's the joke behind the William thing? It's a good name.

[Collin152]

eeek no please.

Orroro.
You know, like Storm?
Orroro.

[Pyro]

Congratulations guys!

Judging from various posts, it seems their first child is also named William.

And congrats.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Orroro.

Orroro.
Nah, Zorro would be a better name then that....

[Supagoof]

Yes, William is the name of their first born son.

And Collin - do you honestly think that with the Legionary of Protection in the Fairchilde-Rose neighborhood that anything would be allowed to happen to the children? :smallwink:

Plus, ER has like several Dragons. I've seen them. They can be vicious if threatened. :smallbiggrin:

[Dallas-Dakota]

Ah ok.
I approve then.

Because my first name is William.
Well, actually, its Willem, but translated to english, its William. :smallcool:

[Collin152]

And Collin - do you honestly think that with the Legionary of Protection in the Fairchilde-Rose neighborhood that anything would be allowed to happen to the children? :smallwink:


Well, quite a glittering assemblage King Stefan. Royalty, nobility, the gentry, and... oh, how quaint - even the rabble.


Listen well, all of you. The Princess shall indeed grow in grace and beauty, beloved by all who know her. But, before the sun sets on her 16th birthday, she shall prick her finger, on the spindle of a spinning wheel - AND DIE!

We all know how this movie ends.... :smalltongue: :smallamused:

[Collin152]

You never know.
It might work this time.

Or I may be foiled by the birth of a son.

Since it's sort of on topic, I have some pics to share.

Hah narcissistic much?:smalltongue:

[Zar Peter]

Congrats to you, Shadow. And to your sibling.

[Felixaar]

Name it after me!

Bahahahaha.

Seriously, congratulations.

[EmeraldRose]

Yes, William is the name of their first born son.

And Collin - do you honestly think that with the Legionary of Protection in the Fairchilde-Rose neighborhood that anything would be allowed to happen to the children? :smallwink:

Plus, ER has like several Dragons. I've seen them. They can be vicious if threatened. :smallbiggrin:

This is true, the red especially... :smallwink:

So, our son insists that if it's a boy we name the baby Superboy, and if it's a girl (you guessed it) Supergirl. :smallbiggrin:

[Zar Peter]

So, that would be Clark for boy and... what was the name of Supergirl again...

[Collin152]

Clara?
Claire?
Susan?

[Dallas-Dakota]

Hah narcissistic much?:smalltongue:
I just want the awesomest future baby in the world to be named after me. :smallcool: Can´t call me inhuman for wanting that.

[Collin152]

Huh... I just remeber recommending Superman as a middle name to a friend's daughter.
Like, two weeks ago.

[sktarq]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
who hoo the geeks are breeding!
soon ze vill take over da vorld!


oh did I post that out loud?:smallredface:

[TRM]

Congratulations to the both of you! :smallsmile:

[Kaelaroth]

So, that would be Clark for boy and... what was the name of Supergirl again...

Linda, or Karen... I think.
