Becoming a Parental Unit

[pgh kenny]

Well it's finally happened - after years teasing my parents about being uncool, my wife and I have joined the club. We had a baby boy last Friday! I can't wait for him to find my CD's in 10 years and tell me how ancient I am (of course if he finds my tapes and records I'm really in trouble).

Congrats, Kenny! Give us all the details - name, size, weight, pictures!

I know, I'm such a girl.

[SanDeE*]

Congratulations! How exciting!

[Nothingman]

Awesome man, that's great news. Best wishes to the three of you. What's the name?

Congrats Kenny.

When he finds your Michael Jackson Thriller album, you'll really be embarrassed.

When he finds your Michael Jackson Thriller album, you'll really be embarrassed.

And then he'll secretly listen to it and love it... while telling you he hates it and thinks it's dumb, of course.

[Natasha (candygirl)]

Or he'll say, "I didn't know you liked anything cool."

[pgh kenny]

thanks to everyone for the congrats. this parenthood thing is hard work!

so funny... I remember when the most popular kid on the bus was the girl who wrote out the lyrics to thriller on a notepad.

if anyone would like to see a picture of the little peanut, send me a PM with your email address. Call me a paranoid baby daddy, but I'm a little afraid to post his picture online.

[SanDeE*]

I totally don't blame you at all for not posting a picture. I've seen some people put pictures of their kids all over on their myspace pages and I think that's strange (and possibly dangerous, given myspace's past with child molesters etc.). My cousin had a baby in October 2006, and she posted pictures on babyjellybeans.com, where you have to know the name of the baby and put in a password that the parents have given to you personally. That seems pretty safe.

[Natasha (candygirl)]

I don't think that's paranoid at all either. Although I have gradually lost most of my paranoia about posting pictures of myself online, it's still creepy to think about all the loonies out there. My friend put all her baby pictures at a password protected website so that only people they gave the URL, login, and password could see the pictures.

Hee, if you think you're paranoid, my mom wouldn't let anyone come visit me unless they were wearing hospital mask.s to keep their evil germs away from me.

Yeess!

Very cool and congrats.

Ahh yes soon you may be appreciating your parents more than you thought possible.

Wonderful news! Kaden, what a nice name. Blessings on your new family.

[Natasha (candygirl)]

Maybe in 20+ years, Kaden and one of Megs's little twins will get married!
