Also, it looks a lot like General Grievous so far. I think you all should keep this in mind if you want to cross the line - as DP said, this child will rule with "four iron fists."

Be sure to give it lots of love, or else it might turn out like an FF hero.


Seriously though - congratulations! Good luck for both you, your wife, and your child. Do you know if it's a boy or a girl yet?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, you're supposed to KEEP those things? Yikes.

You know how I feel about parenthood, Josh, but even I can't say anything bad about that floaty little bit of robot jedi-killer in your wife (who never plays rock band with us, pfft.)

All the best, Papa Five-One.

Congrats Ranger. Though I think the real question is this...Which Final Fantasy shall your child be raised upon.....
Will it be the First or shall you bring it up on the two greatest FF games as in 6 and 7.

Wow, congrats Josh. It sure is crazy watching the world grow up around you...

The clouds ran away, opened up the sky
And one by one I watched every constellation die
And there I was frozen, standing in my backyard
Face to face, eye to eye, staring at the last star
I should've known, walked all the way home
To find that she wasn't here, I'm still all alone

Thanks, everyone. It is indeed a summer baby, and as long as it's healthy, I'd be happy with it coming a few weeks early. It's our first and likely to be our only, so it's got a little pressure on its shoulders already - the Liverpool FC onesie I'll be buying it probably won't help either.

We don't know gender yet, and I don't think we're going to talk about names before it's born either way. However, I will certainly mention gender once we find out; it probably just won't be for a few more weeks, as our next regularly-scheduled sono isn't until the end of March.
