Excellent news Firebird, very happy you and your family...don't remember you mentioning before that you knew baby was going to be a girl (Maybe I forgot), but that is exciting.
Congratulations!

I don't think I'd mentioned it yet. Wanted to make sure all was well before celebrating.
Thank you all! Now need to figure out names. And daycare. ANd the nursery. And FSM knows what else. But not complaining!

Some of you may recall my wife and I had a scary test result with her pregnancy, potentially showing we were both carriers for Tay Sachs.
We did another round of more thorough genetic tests and got the results yesterday. No mutations. Not carriers. Our daughter is OK. Yes, it's a she. So relieved.
Bloody marvellous!!!

Well Bruno seems to be the go-to guy for names so you could always ask him.  ;D

And girls are the best :)

Maybe it's just me Tom, but I think you got your signals crossed buddy.

Imagine if I were to write the following, "Yo, my wife loves me a lot. She bought for me possum road kill Limburger cheese with a caramel crust."?

Yes, that is correct I'm the go to guy for names, Guardian can do a wonderful Nursery for you, he's great at that...especially for a girl.
And as for Daycare I think Bud would make a great Nanny

Well, I have almost no sense of smell, and 3 younger brothers worth of past experience, so I think I can take on the diaper duty.   :rimshot:  Not sure about the college fund -- do we have anyone here who's insanely rich?

Yes great news Firebird and Mrs Firebird have been relieved of fear.
I'm entirely ignorant of this, was the fear appropriate or has free enterprise got itself a new thing?

Sorry

Daughters are the best.
Take my advice, don't listen to me.

Biggus Dickus

Daughters are great, but...boys are easier.

I have both a son and daughter, and I drove each one to school (High School) on may way to work each morning.

My son could wake up, eat, get cleaned and dressed, and be in the car in 15 minutes, in four years he hardly ever made me wait. Daughter on the other hand...she was up 1 an a half to two hours before we had to leave, and pushed my patience to the tipping point on more than one occasion.

I had to wait for her constantly, sitting there in the driveway, honking the horn,.. and then I would arrive late to work. My boss could tell when she was on break from school because I was getting to the office early on those weeks, and he would also joke that I seemed happier and less stressed during school holidays.

Last year when my daughter was getting married, and her and I were waiting to take our turn down the isle we joked about it this very thing...truth be told I wouldn't change it for anything.  8)
