    I had actually managed to quit smoking until about month number 8

    living with a pregnant woman is less fun than it could be (horny as hell one minute and psychotic the next)

    Seems like you have a logical, level headed, kind wife. (opps, did I say HAVE? I meant HAD ! hahahahahhahahahah)



    IN CASE OF EMERGENCY THE EXITS ARE LOCATED ON EITHER SIDE OF THE HOUSE YOUR WIFE IS IN AND TO THE FORE AND AFT.
    PLEASE FASTEN YOUR SAFETY BELTS AND PLACE SEATS IN THEIR FULL UPRIGHT POSITIONS.
    REMEMBER TO KEEP HANDS AND FEET INSIDE THE RIDE AT ALL TIMES AND DON'T FEED THE ANIMALS.
    WE ARE UNGRATEFUL AS HELL FOR YOUR PATRONAGE AND WILL DO OUR BEST TO MAKE YOU AS MISERABLE AS WE ARE.
    WHY THE HELL DID YOU DECIDE TO TAKE THIS AIRLINE ANYWAY YOU FREAKING JERK, MY MOM WAS RIGHT, SO WERE MY FRIENDS, YOU AREN'T EVEN SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW WHEN TO PUSH AND WHEN TO PULL, I HATE YOU, GET THIS THING OUT OF ME, ENJOY YOUR FLIGHT ....JERK.... AND BRING BACK SOME FRENCH FRIES!!

    Default Excellent!

    OK, now I get to impart my own 2c into this fray -

    My daughter just shy of 15 months old, and it feels really strange saying that. Only one we have had, we had her relatively late in life (I was 39 when she was born - college and careers and all that). It has been an odyssey...

    To sum, I was asked the other day how having a child had changed me. I had to think about that one. I really didn't think it would change me, I was determined not to let it change me, I was adamant. In retrospect, I have developed into an uber protective, borderline paranoid. The delivery had been traumatic, NICU was in the room and they tried to sugar coat potential ramifications - but I had read ad nauseum and knew the signs...When they wrestled my daughter from my wife, it was like getting hit in the sternum with a sledge hammer - good thing I had the mask and goggles and bunny suit on, because I quietly burst into tears - she was screaming her ass off and fat and very healthy and pissed off and my little girl. No one ever knew what I went through that moment, wasn't important in the grand scheme of things.

    Point is that it released something, I get choked up and angry pretty easily when I hear of folks hurting kids, or people losing children - I look at other babies fondly, no matter how ugly they are, as they are truly amazing little self-actuating self-propelled creatures of wonder. Short of tricking my wife into marrying me, my daughter is the best thing I have ever done.

    I recommend that you sit down and make, in private, video discs at various periods in your child's life. Birth, 6months, year b-day, etc. Talk to him/her - and give the discs to them at some point in the future - or in the event anything should happen to you. Talk about the weather, your hopes and dreams for yourself and for them, things they are doing, things that amaze you about them, things that they might not understand now and that you may forget. Make sure you put them away and protect them like gold. I wish my father had been able to do that for me, it would have meant the world.

    Attached is a picture of nugget (her nickname) - you will understand the length of this post.

    Congrats.

    Thank-you all for the warm wishes and advice.

    The Validator hasn't really changed much. Her moods are a little less predictable, but that's a personality trait of hers in the first place. Maybe it's storing up for a big change.

    There's so much love in our home right now. It's just great. The in-laws are tickled pink to have a new family member on the way. Each week we read about the current stage of fetal development. We're enjoying this so far.

    Kriton, your words ring with wisdom. I will consider them well.

    Thank-you again gents.

    Whenever a friend has a child I have a traditional question: "Healthy? 10 fingers, 10 toes, 1 head?" I'll be asking that in a few months...

    All kidding aside, X, congratulations and good luck.
