If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Well done dude :)

Not that unexpected, though, surely? I mean if Predabot said it, I'd be a bit more surprised.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

If Predabot said it, the whole site would probably go into flatline!

But, let's not spoil this joyous occasion with such thoughts.

GRATS!

If you need anything let me know.

Also, you DO know what causes that right?

Oh not to worry, the missus and then the baby will be doing their fair share of hurling soon enough.

Which reminds me, any idea when it's due?

The little rubber fiend slips off. :roll:

It should be coming our way around April, with all luck. She's only six weeks along, so we're still in the danger zone-- there's a 25% or so chance of miscarriage until the twentieth week. So we're just telling family and, of course, Transfans.

I stumbled around most of the day yesterday actually bumping into things. It's amazing that I could drive. I also slept through my entire shift at work. Just a little bit stunned.

Congratulations!!! Perhaps we should change your name to spunkner. :eek:

It does have that effect doesn't it? :)

They say that your life flashes before your eyes before you die . No-one ever tells you that when your lady says 'I'm pregnant' all your possible futures flash before your eyes. And that takes days!!! :lol:

Argh...I told Mrs. V about this topic (she sends her regards to you both) and she paused and said, "Well you might be too."

I was totally cool with that but it turned out she was just late. And I was totally cool with that too. I think I've grown up or something, 'cause last time this happened to me I was a gibbering wreck panicking about it.

Me too, Rob... a gibbering wreck last time, just incredibly nervous this time.
