But it was pretty funny to watch him for first 7 months living in mortal terror that it will be a girl. I'll keep the kit-n-kaboodles close in hand if that ever happens. (and those were his words, too) 
Since he is a boy, watch out for that sudden squirt of fountain while changing his diapers. As fable has mentioned, talk to your baby... talk to him in a normal manner and refrain from using all those "baby talk." Baby talk doesnt help any when it comes to the child's language development.
Hmmm. Doesn't seem to have warped my kids at all, although the oldest has the habit of screaming, "Let Nature take you!" whenever she pounces on the cat. . . .Originally posted by Georgi
Ah, the fighting, the screams... just what you want your child to hear growing up...
and best wishes. I myself shall be much less busy soon, or more busy, as I am going to live with WiggleBug in the BadLands. Originally posted by jennabard
I have been in hiatus for some time and this year is the scariest year in my life. In a few weeks there is going to be another man in my life.
He is going to be our first ... AND WE HAVN'T GOT A CLUE!!!!!
HOw do we raise a child when the parents happen to be weird, nerdy, dorks who spend their time playing AD&D p&p style, vedio games and comic books?
Please be as serious or as comical as you wish, I could use a good laugh on how to raise a bundle of joy.... GAMER STYLE!
Next, you'll really learn the definition of multi-tasking - never do 2 things at the same time when you can do 3. Obviously, you'll have less time for games, but your little "man" will make up for it. And oh, learn to keep your drinks out of reach - trust me on this one. Throw out the baby manuals - your baby doesn't read them and neither should you. When changing diapers in the first couple of months, be sure to get things quickly under cover, so to speak - or you'll be changing more than the baby. Originally posted by Gwalchmai
However, I found that the soothing sounds of Baldur's Gate or some other computer game can help get you through those times when the baby won't be laid down and will only sleep in your arms. I found that strategicly placed pillows can leave your hands free to reach the keyboard and mouse....
If I think of more, I'll let you know!
My God it's good to hear from you.HaHa, Your old friend from the chilly days of Winter has found you. Congratulations and best wishes. I myself shall be much less busy soon, or more busy, as I am going to live with WiggleBug in the BadLands.
Have lost all other means of reaching you, as a holler and whistle don't seem to be working. Email me with an update of "Life in the Land of Forthcoming Doom" and tell the other half I expect the little one to be entranced nitely with tales of " Uncle Codfish, The Battle Hardened Priest and His Thousand Avoidable Deaths".

By the way , I've miss coming to gamebanshee.... I wonder if my Dark Flame membership has expired?
I particularly enjoyed the tryst Jennabard had with that powerful mage... hmmm.... I can't seem to remember her name right now, but the scene on the bear skin rug where they conjured the Crystal Tentacle.... erm... I mean, where they worked through some of their family of origin issues was particularly memorable.
Scayde has mentioned wanting to get some of the original authors of DF back into writing adventures. Any interest?
