And for the FINAL time...

[Johan]

I'm a daddy. As of this evening, I am the proud father of a ten-pound baby boy!!

And baby makes a family of eight. And no more. My quiver is complete and my heart is full. He's a cute little bugger, but man...seventeen HOURS of labor for my wife before he decided to take a peek out into the world. We were beginning to think he was reevaluating this whole process and reneging on his part of the deal! Like a squatter, he wasn't moving out...

Born in my home, too. Fourth one like that. I highly recommend it to you! (born in your home...not born in mine!) ;)

:happiness and joy: :)

Edit: How I forgot to mention his name, I have no idea. Josiah. :)

[diablopath]

Congrats man.
I'm glad there are some people out there who enjoy babies enough to bring them into the world.

[astranoir]

Congratulations, Johan!

[Johan]

Congrats man.
I'm glad there are some people out there who enjoy babies enough to bring them into the world.

Thank you! It's not for everyone; I totally understand why some people wouldn't want children, but it's been in the cards for me for a while.

I ought to move to Italy. Their birth rate is below replacement levels; I would help with that statistically.

Congratulations, Johan!

Thank you! :o

[Jackel]

Congrats Johan...children must truly be a blessing to you and your family!

[Disgustipated]

Wow... six kids. Your tax rebates must be equivalent to a new car every year. :P

Good luck, old guy!

[DoctorFinger]

Congrats! And look at it this way: at least now you have enough older kids that they can help out raising the little one!

[Blue]

Way to be Johan! Spread the love sir.

[Dorkandproudofit]

Congratulations, Johan! Take a rest, dude--you deserve it!

[Johan]

Way to be Johan! Spread the love sir.

I'll be shooting blanks very soon! :)

Thank you, all. I'll see if I can get a photo up in a day or so, when I've the strength. I'm freaking exhausted, and all I did was the easy part.

[GunnyMo]

That's awesome! Congrats, Daddy! Even though I only get to see my son on weekends (for the most part) these days, the day of his birth is like yesterday for me.

So is this the Johan home yet? :) I'm sure Mrs. Johan is hotter than Terry Jones, though.

[Karmakin]

Congratulations!!

[Atepsflame]

Hm, another is born into Johan's army of pint-sized warriors. Excellent. Congrats, daddy-o.

[Johan]

I love that movie, GunnyMo...hilarious! I'm not even Catholic; what the heck is my problem?!? Solution in the works...snip snip snip.

[OldeWolf]

Congrat, Johan.

And the upside to your family is free daycare. Just have your older kids take care of them now. ;)

And when you said this, "...seventeen HOURS of labor for my wife before he decided to take a peek out into the world", my mind started to read "...before he decided to take a peek out of the vag...no wait, he didn't say that *edits thought*...into the world..." :o

[iHap]

I thought it was 17 now.

Congrats on your eight kid Johan! I can't imagine taking care of all of them.

[Sly Marbo]

Dude, awesome, congrats.

[rein]

Congratulations Johan and wife. 17 hours? :eek: I applaud women and their ability to endure such torment. Not only do they endure it, they celebrate it afterward.

[Johan]

Congratulations Johan and wife. 17 hours? :eek: I applaud women and their ability to endure such torment. Not only do they endure it, they celebrate it afterward.

I agree with your sentiment.

Also, ironic...No one under 17 admitted! That was our policy with this little one, apparently! ;) 17 hours, that is...

[pseudopseudo]

Congrats, man!

I don't know how you afford it... but more power to you!

[Scaryfaced]

Congradulations Johan. Now, where are the cigars?

Eight is enough.

[That Darn Kat]

Woo, congratulations! Good luck with all the kiddies. :eek: Though, I'm sure you've got the routine down pretty well by now.

[Doctor Setebos]

Awesome! Congratulations, Johan! We're at two boys at the moment, and we're thinking about three. And that sounds like a full house to us! I can't even imagine six kids. In fact, it makes me hurt deep inside to imagine it. I think you just gave me an ulcer.

So, congratulations! :D

[fitbabits]

Congrats, Johan! A family of eight... You know that the Discovery Health Channel make shows about that, right?

[drobvice]

Did you even get out of the car this time? :D Seriously, as a new parent, I more easily appreciate how special this occasion is. Congrats!

[wyeast]

http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa237/dbrent19/8isenough0.jpg

Eight is enough.

Dammit! Beaten.

Congrats, Johanie. :D

[Mashidar]

Congrats Johan. Lord knows I feel my hands are full with one child, I can only think how you have coped so long.

[Gwinny]

Congratulations to you and your wife, and all of the new arrival's siblings!

[Stmfuller]

congrats on the baby. My wife and I have one...and right now, that's plenty :)
you sir, are a brave man :)

[Vandabo]

Congratulations. Really, more congrats to your wife though.

I guess now it's time to start adopting!

[Ancalagon]

Congratulations Johan!

[rinichanraar]

Everyone else has already said it, but congratulations again, Johan! That's fantastic. What's his name?! :)

[Squidbot]

Congratulations! No dead space for new baby though.

[President Fred]

A good traditional Scandinavian family. Though really you should have a drinking problem for that to pan out properly.

[Purple Santa]

I ought to move to Italy. Their birth rate is below replacement levels; I would help with that statistically.



Actually the birth rate was so low in some cities, they were offering cash and other incentives to increase the birthrate. To bad you can't take advantage of that program, you would be a millionaire there ;)

I'll be shooting blanks very soon! :)

The *snip* procedure? Ouch...

Solution in the works...snip snip snip.

OUCH!!!

Congrats Johan and of course congrats to your wife as well :D. Only 5 I have are my cats...not including the two "porch" cats we have...that brood is enough for me :p

[Magma]

Congratulations on the little one. :)

[Kielaran]

I'll be shooting blanks very soon! :)

Thank you, all. I'll see if I can get a photo up in a day or so, when I've the strength.

I hope those two statements are unrelated.:p

Congrats man.

[Raen]

Congrats man. It's good to know that there are people out there who have enough love to share it between 6 kids and your wife.

[Norse]

Congratulations Johan! 6 kids is impressive, and I can't understand how you can avoid having a heart attack with all those young ones running around.

[Lithium Flower]

Congrats to your family, hope the little guy has a great life ahead and every blessing conceivable!

Johan's situation reminded me of a cleaner who worked for my family once. He also had 6 children and after the 6th he decided to go in for the snip snip surgery. A year later, his wife was expecting again - as it turned out, they botched his procedure. He ended up having yet another baby later on, making it a family with 8 children. So erm... just make sure they get it right!

[Aggort]

I hate missing news like this when I'm not around a PC, but congratulations man!

[Bad Buddha]

Congrats; though I can't comprehend it!

I was worried when our kids outnumbered us by one. You haven't got a chance if they turn on you!

[bapenguin]

Holy crap man. I fear just having one, and hopefully it's one and done.

Congrats!

[Deadend]

6 kids? Congrats sir, you caught up to my grandparents.

[OldeWolf]

At least his family isn't this big. :p

[Johan]

Thank you all so much. Needless to say, we didn't get much sleep last night. Newborns tend to like to cry and eat...a lot of both, in fact.

You are all very kind. :o

Edit: I put his name in the OP. Josiah. :)

I need some sleep. Headache...

[Lance Uppercut]

6 kids O_o

Congrats, but how the hell do you feed so many mouths?

[Typical Michael]

Anyway, congratulations and good luck. How do you think of enough names to go around? They are probably all named Johan.

[Schnoogs]

Congrats man!

[pomeroy]

10 pounds.

Your poor wife...

[Bingley Joe]

Congrats, Johan!

Six kids is pretty incredible -- let's hope for scholarships all around!! :)

[civil]

With that many kids, you don't ever have to leave your bed. Just have them form a bucket brigade to get you whatever you need.

Shit, you've got your own Hands Across America Johan. Congratulations sir.

I found where you live, be afraid!

Sorry I'm late to the party on this. Congrats! Josiah is a great name. I won't mention the quiver stuff to my wife. It makes her want to gag. ;) People used to joke with her siblings (there are 10 of them) about that verse. They hated it.

We're pregnant with our first though. :D We're doing the midwife/birth center thing. We don't want to have the baby in an apartment. :)

[Spigot]

Congrats Johan. I have my hands full with 2 kids. I can't fathom having 6!

You know you only need 4 people for Rock Band, right? Though I guess now you can have a battle of the bands in-house....

[Johan]

EvD, I don't know how you did it, but you found my family photo! ;)

We're pregnant with our first though. :D We're doing the midwife/birth center thing.

Congrats, and great choice with the birth center. We had two of ours the same way.

:)

[Spigot]

Heh. I had both of my kids in a hospital...

BUT!

It was the hospital that was built in the exact same location as the farm was that I spent my first 5 years on this earth. We got kicked off the farm when the hospital bought the land from the owners, but I always had a good story to tell the nurses when we were in there popping out the kids.

[Gorvi]

Congrats! Man, I don't know how you do it, my two (21 months and 5 months) are all I can handle, I don't know when you find the time to sleep. :p

[rein]

Congrats, and great choice with the birth center. We had two of ours the same way.

:)

From conception to birth, what way haven't you done it? :p

It's a Labor of Love

[Matthias]

Congratulations man! It takes a special kinda of guy to love that many kids. I was just having a conversation with my friend today, and we both agreed that we'll probably want to stop at two, maybe three (we both want at least one of each gender)

Typical. Beat me to it.

[Kielaran]

This makes me think of the end of Bioshock.

[KingGorilla]

This makes me think of the end of Bioshock.

Or the plot to each Children of the Corn.

[MagGnome]

I'm late on this, but congrats Johan!


You can stop now though - you've had more than enough to make up for all of the chilren that I am not going to have. :p

[mightbe]

All right. No more babies for you buddy. Stop hogging all the fun.

[ShivaX]

Congrats man.

At Johan's house its not so much the pitter-patter of little feet as a stampede.

[DangerousDaze]

Bit late (dog ate my laptop power lead at the weekend) but congrats!! :D

[Jeffool]

Holy poopy that's awesome! I sincerely hope I'm ever able to reach such heights of manliness (and/or insanity ;) )! Seriously man, conrats.

[Rock Bandit]

Are you sure you want to stop? One more and you have you can field a baseball team.

[NoName]

Another one? Goodness, congrats, the army is complete. Take your legion of small ones and go forth into the world! :D

(But really, congrats. Glad to hear everything went without complications, even if it took awhile)

[KingGorilla]

I'm late on this, but congrats Johan!

You can adopt the ones that he throws upon the heap for being weak of sickley.

[Zero]

This is true!

Anyway, congratulations! What age is your oldest btw?

[Johan]

What age is your oldest btw?

Seven.

Then six, five, two, one, and newborn. Six kids in eight years. :eek:

Thanks all! No more children for me...don't worry. :)

[Abednigo]

Wow. With the rough first trimester my wife is having, we're going to space them out a bit. We weren't planning to do that, but she can't imagine being pregnant and having horrible all day sickness while taking care of a baby (12 months or younger). :)

[Jeffool]

Thanks all! No more children for me...don't worry. :)Do you know how to not have children? ;)

[Church42]

Congrats Johan

And owwww, 10 pounds?!?! In the words of Winston Zeddemore, "That's a big Twinkie"
