From her body language in the photos, it doesn't seem like she could have been yours for the taking.

"I want to take this opportunity to mention how thankful I am for an Obama re-election. The choice was clear. We cannot live in a country that treats homosexuals and women as second class citizens. Homosexuals deserve all of the rights and benefits of marriage that heterosexuals receive. Women deserve to be treated with respect and their salaries should not depend on their gender, but their quality of work. I am also thankful that the great, progressive state of California once again voted for the correct President. America is moving forward, and the direction is a positive one."

Thanks, everyone! ;) And congrats to all those that also recently added a family member! Whew...it's a bit overwhelming, but probably one of the greatest experiences ever.

My wife was a little nervous about me being in the room and seeing everything. Little did either of us know that not only would I see her hoohoo but I would have a front row seat participating in it...the main nurse and I were the ones who held her legs every time she pushed and the doc was coming in and out of the room most of the time so it was just the two of us for like 90% of it (he had another delivery at the same time). As we got closer to the end, more and more people started showing up along with all sorts of alien looking tools. Pretty big baby at 8 lbs. 8 oz, 21 1/4 inches...would have been bigger too as my wife hadn't been having any contractions yet but her water suddenly broke and the baby came early.

Anyway, we're finally getting used to it a bit and getting over the feeling we may break our son every time we barely move him. lol

What did you name the boy?

Jordan Alexander. We figured he'd have some good flexibility with Alexander.

Go make the coffee! You're gonna need it, hehehe.

So true. I've gotten about 10 hrs sleep this whole week...my poor wife has gotten about half that!

I don't remember you posting that you were expecting. Perhaps it was because of "don't say it until after it happens?"

Absolutely! Didn't want to bring any bad luck!

Someone asked the name already. I'm curious too. Did you go with a patronym? And are you guys going to do dual citizenship? How about language?

As others have mentioned... get some sleep!

Didn't go with a patronym...just 2 names we could finally agree on. And by that I mean 2 names she picked that I finally agreed on. ;) I doubt we'll go for dual citizenship...haven't really looked into what all we would need to get UA citizenship but I'm paranoid about him getting involuntarily drafted or something if we ever do go back to visit. The wife really wants him to be tri-lingual, but we'll see how that goes.

baby.gif congrats!

now where are the cigar-1.gif

We have a really stupid filter at work which shuts out pics a lot of times, so I'll have to check this again when I get home. ;)

Congrats!

Congratulations!

We have a six-month old girl. During the scary first few weeks (Why is she making that raspy noise? Why isn't she making any noise? How did she become a volcano of spitup? Is she too cold? Too hot? Is her poop supposed to look like that? etc.), we constantly had to remind ourselves that there are 6.75 billion people on the planet, and many of them managed to survive all sorts of less than ideal circumstances, including dumbass parents ("I bet my 2-month old would love a Coke!") You'll do great.

K-1

March 7, 2005: I-129F NOA1

September 20, 2005: K-1 Interview in London. Visa received shortly thereafter.

AOS

May 5, 2006: Interview at Phoenix district office. Approval pending FBI background check clearance. AOS finally approved almost two years later: February 14, 2008.

Received 10-year green card February 28, 2008

I'm not going to lie and this is 100% true...at some point my mother started giving me a bottle of chocolate milk and a bottle of Coca Cola every night. I ended up having 3 broken arms by the time I was 7! That said, we're going to be doing things a little differently!

It's cool. She's always had a problems with projecting her own food desires on others. Every pet we ever had was like 2x-3x the weight they were supposed to be. Other than that, I had the best parents ever. ;)

So you picked an English name. I just wanted to see what people do, English or RUB name.

We would do Russian names but we are both in agreement to live childless :blush: Her mother has been yearning to be a Babushka. She says to just have one and she'll take it care of it full time :rofl:

Wow...I thought MY wife was the only RUB woman who doesn't want children. :lol: But yes, we get flak about it too. :D

My MIL was all over my wife to have kids until her sister popped out twins. Since then, we haven't heard a peep!

And yes, she too is all about keeping her figure. "I not will be mess my figure for horrible little monster, blat. And if my sister have a twins, blat, probably I will be have a twins as well. No f'king way, blat."

I also worry about that...

I think it's nice to have names that work in both cultures. And if your kid is going to be Orthodox, they need to have a name they can christened with.

I've always thought if we were to go down that road our offspring would be able to switch back and forth and nobody would notice.
