My wife is pregnant.

The ultrasound at 9 weeks showed a feisty embryo which we're affectionately calling Scrappy.
Both the ultrasound and first exam at 10 weeks revealed a strong, steady heartbeat.
We're at 12 weeks and all systems go so far so we're encouraged that everything will go well.

This is our first child and we're very busy with all the preparations, getting ready for our lives to radically change.

What this means is that I won't be around here as much as I have been. I won't be offering as much advice or free honing for the n00bs who show up in waves. I know there are enough members here now to take up that slack and that's good to see. I won't disappear and I'll be checking in when I can, but as the pregnancy progresses and baby is born *crosses unsuperstitious finger anyhow* my participation will likely diminish.

That's it. That's the news so far. I'll keep y'all posted as things progress.
