Just wait until you're resting your head on your preggy wifes belly and the little bugger kicks you in the head.



They pack a wallup, ayup.

She thinks she can feel the wee one fluttering around already. Creepy!

How far along is she? I felt my little angel at 4 1/2 months - fluttering around like a butterfly.



What's creepy is when you're sitting there watching TV, remote on your stomache - - and a little teeny foot comes out and kicks it off onto the floor.



Dude, it was like Aliens.

She's, um... three months along, I think? I'm going to be a dad in half a year. Frost, good thing I still watch cartoons.

07/23/2003 03:12 PM

Ok, first thing is you can't count it by how many "months" she is.



You have to measure it in weeks. So, she's 12 weeks along. It's probably unlikely she's felt that much movement - it was probably gas. But who knows.. it could happen.



Are you guys going to find out if it's a boy or a girl? I think we should have a Baby ChiChi pool.

What the Frost is it with parents? Didn't you all get the week-to-month-to-year conversion chart?

"How old is he?"

"He's 18 months."

"So, a year-and-a-half?"

"ummm...I suppose so"

Chi-Chi Fellipe 161,353 14
07/23/2003 03:19 PM

Oh, we want to know if it's gonna be a boy or a girl. Either way, it's going to be tall, athletic, super-smart, witty, clever, inventive, extroverted, and gorgeous. Provided it doesn't get too many of my genes.

Whut-EVAH, Meg. My wife doesn't like black dudes from Africa who barely speak english and knock over the Frost-ing potted rose bushes every day. She likes tall lanky white dudes with brown hair from Maine. Chuh!

Hmmm... the li'l duckling is cute, I'll give you that. But have you seen me? My 50% ALONE guarantees attractiveness. Factor in that my wife is a total babe-o-rama, and our baby is gonna be floating us checks from his/her successful modeling career. CHA-CHING!

I used to work with a girl from Maine who said that you can distinguish Mainers from anybody else by the way they said "you can't get there from here." I just thought I'd try.

I guess she was wrong.

Ducky 10,666 13

There is a reason for this - I didn't get it myself before I had kids. Kids change really, really fast. That's why their age is first measured in weeks, then months up until about 2 years.

Ducky 10,666 13
07/23/2003 04:06 PM

No wonder. Bangor is a Frosted up place anyway. It's just creepy, I hate going through there.

And congrats on hearing the heartbeat, Chi-chi. The first time I heard my twins heartbeats was absolutely increadible. I couldn't get the sound out of my head for days.

MongoLloyd 48,662 14
07/23/2003 04:07 PM

That's funny. Growing up in New Brunswick, people were always going to Bangor for shopping. I went once and thought "meh"

Not to mention those goddamned irritable customs officers at the border. Christ, I'm a Canadian coming across to buy your cheap poultry. I'm not running guns to Nicaragua. This was way before 9/11 by the way. Sumthin' up their butts I tell ya.

Chili 8,880 12
07/23/2003 04:14 PM

I spent most of the time that I was engaged to my wife living in Canada, while she was in the States. I drove back and forth across the border 3 or 4 times a week for 9 months. The US borderguards were NASTY. I expected to get my car searched - It was, on both sides, several times, but the US guards treated me like I was a drug runner every time. The Canadians didn't.

MongoLloyd 48,662 14
07/23/2003 04:16 PM

My friends and I stopped in Calais and loaded up on cigarettes. We had packs in our socks, in our pants, under the seats, everywhere you can imagine (except there).

We got to the customs person and she says "do you have anything to claim?" and we said no. She said "You didn't buy anything in Calias?" and we said "No, we didn't even stop in Calais, we came straight from Bangor" and she said "wow, that coffee has been on the roof of the car for a long time then. Could you all step out of the vehicle, please?"

We got yelled at, but she let us go through.

I have to say that the security crossing into the States seems better than in Canada, I'll give you that much. I don't think the attitude was necessary though. Then again, I'm a Poe, polite, apathetic Canuck.

07/23/2003 04:32 PM

I went to Canada one. Security getting in consisted of a border guard getting on the bus and asking us if we were all US citizens. We all said yes and he told us to have a good time.



Getting back into the States involved dogs and anuses. That's all I'm allowed to say on the matter.



And I did have a good time in Canada.

Another reason parents always use months instead of years is that is how they track the kids age at the doctor, so you kinda get used to thinking that way.

Marine sniper training is grueling, and you're probably in the to 10% of badasses on the planet. But NOTHING Chi Chi can prepare you for what's coming...FATHERHOOD!



Good luck and Gods speed.

No matter how good your training made you at tracking Charlies through a rifle scope, your kids will still disappear from sight as soon as you turn your back for a second. If you ever wanted to assemble a stealthy army, you'd do well to recruit nothing but toddlers.

I remember the first time I saw my daughters heart beat for the first time. We had a scare before hand ( I will not go into the details) but the hospital gave me an ultra sound in order to check on the baby..and it was sooo small at the time ( it happened before the normal time for getting the ultrasound and before you could hear the beats). I remember the how upset I was, until I saw the monitor and the nurse pointed to this tiny little flickering light on the screen...(about the width of a pencil lead) and said that the baby was fine and that flicker was it's little heart beat (it was sooo fast)



Believe me you'll be able to handle the loss of sleep and the chasing after the kid..it is the feeling of being helpless when there is something wrong with your baby. That feeling is the worst by far.

The relief you feel when they are OKAY is better than anything.



Congratulations and good luck.

Well since this does seem to be the official Gab baby thread... Chi Chi, you and I are due to be dads about the same week.

We went for the first check up yesterday and have the first scan tomorrow. Due date 11th Feb.

Race you!

Chi Chi, I have two boys, 6 & 4 they are "pure evil" I like to call them the Menendez Brothers. I sleep with one eye open. I've made two observations about kids:

God made the evil ones real cute so you won't kill them and ugly kids are well behaved! Pray for a girl, at least you'll get a couple of years before they try to kill you.

The problem is that with a boy, you only have to worry about one peener. With a girl, you have to worry about every peener in town!



If I have a girl, I'm just not going to potty train her. that way she'll always be home early.



That was my rule. If a chick Shakespeare in my car, she went straight home! Unless she had really nice tits.

Chili 8,880 12
07/24/2003 11:49 AM

I love having boys - I have three of them. The problem with boys, though, is that they pop out of the womb suicidal, and stay that way until their early 20's. My boys are constantly doing things to get themselves hurt. The twins teach each other how to damage themselves as much as possible.



At least they won't get knocked up, though.

TheMoonDog 26 9
07/24/2003 12:52 PM

That is the one saving grace. I keep saying I'd rather pay now (rambunctious little boys) than later (pregnant teen age girls)

Thanks for all the advice and well-wishing and stuff, but I have a tragic secret to reveal; I never attended Marine sniper school. I only watched it on Discovery Channel. Unfortunately this thread went way too far before I could check back up on it. Have none of you read my Dave Letterman article? You would have known I was an Air Force electrician. I may not be able to snipe charlie at 1000 yards (more like 500, but that's from growin' up redneck), but I can climb the Frost out of a utility pole.
