I'm Pregnant

[Kelegacy]

Or, at least my better half is.

Yes. That's right. Kelegacy...KELEGACY! is going to be a father. I am spawning. The world is definitely coming to an end. It has to be.

It really hasn't sunk in yet, but I'm excited. We're both very happy, but I still feel very...out of it. Like it's happening to someone else.

I just thought I'd share this with all my online forum friends, since I've got to know a good deal of you very well over the years. Her due date isn't until next summer, but...yeah. I am actually going to have a child of my own. A kid. Gosh.

Does that mean I have to grow up now?

[Johan]

Does that mean I have to grow up now?

No, but it's better if we do as parents! :)

Congrats! Go all Spike Lee and do the right thang!

[fitbabits]

Allow me to be the first to say CONGRATULATIONS!

Time for you to make an "honest woman" out of your better half? :)

[NoName]

Sounds scary.

Congrats on your level 1 human :).

[Nura]

Grats. And good luck with it! :D

[Rakael]

Congrats Kel! It is an awesome experience, I assure you!

Your gaming time will be cut down, and really any spare time. Still, just sitting around and playing with your child is more fun than anything else.

[President Fred]

Congratulations. I feel like saying something about a child with ass like a jackhammer but I don't remember the quote exactly.

[Kelegacy]

Congratulations. I feel like saying something about a child with ass like a jackhammer but I don't remember the quote exactly.

Haha, I actually mentioned something about "Kelegacy, he who has an ass like a jackhammer, is going to be a daddy" but I deleted it before I hit submit. Funny how something like that can linger around so long. A mini-forum meme, I suppose. :)

[Mdot]

Congrats man, that's awesome.

[rinichanraar]

Kelegacy, I don't really know you all that well, but nevertheless, I'd like to say CONGRATULATIONS! I know it's early, but have you already started thinking of names?

EDIT: I also just noticed it's your birthday on Saturday. What a great present. :)

[pomeroy]

Congrats Kel.

I thought you had made this announcement sort of humbly in a thread, but that turned out to be about some hookers.

[President Fred]

My ability to remember apparently useless facts got me through school. ;)

[Zrikz]

Grats Kel! You shall have to keep us updated on the name game later on.

[crazyD]

Congratulations, and my condolences about your gaming time. At least until it's old enough to hold a controller, that is.

[Kelegacy]

Congrats Kel.

I thought you had made this announcement sort of humbly in a thread, but that turned out to be about some hookers.

Yeah, hookers. Hope she doesn't forbid me those. They make my life worth living.

As for names, I'm thinking of Guybrush.

[Cit Phil Cit]

Yeah, hookers. Hope she doesn't forbid me those. They make my life worth living.

As for names, I'm thinking of Guybrush.

You are a Threepwood?

I was at a wedding this weekend (my brothers') one of the guests name was Guybrush. He had it changed. Monkey Island.

[pomeroy]

Yeah, hookers. Hope she doesn't forbid me those. They make my life worth living.

As for names, I'm thinking of Guybrush.

No matter what, though, you know she's going to ban blow. And what fun are hookers without blow?

[Ancalagon]

Congratulations! Who is the father? Oh wait....

Seriously, congrats though.

EDIT: Make sure to get that book from fallout that lets your baby pick its SPECIAL attributes.

[carnage11]

Congratulations......now don't fuck it up. ;):p

Here's (http://www.humoursenseupgrade.com/2008/02/08/baby-care-instructions-for-men.html) a good site on how (not) to take care of your baby.

Congratulations!

Wow. Who let a pervert like you stick it to 'em? ;)

Good job, sir.

[Lint of Death]

Congraaaaaaaaatulations!

[Telefrog]

http://i37.tinypic.com/1zbaxxc.jpg

How apt! Congratulations!

[Wasson_]

Does that mean I have to grow up now?

The answer to that question is directly proportional to what degree, or if you are at all, a Toys "Я" Us kid.

[Froghourt]

Congratulation.

There isn't all that more to say.

[Kelegacy]

Wow. Who let a pervert like you stick it to 'em? ;)


She's "special". :)

[Norse]

Congrats Kel! You'll be a great dad!

[Knightsaber]

Congrats sir!

Strangely, my b-day is also Saturday, how about a forum party...what? NM :)

[Kelegacy]

Congrats Kel! You'll be a great dad!

Thanks. I'm curious how it will all work, seeing how I'm not legally supposed to be around children under the age of 10.

[crazyD]

As for names, I'm thinking of Guybrush.

We named the dog Guybrush!

[Doctor Setebos]

Congratulations! Parenting sucks but being a daddy rocks. :D

I'm curious how it will all work, seeing how I'm not legally supposed to be around children under the age of 10.This requires more detail. :eek:

[JRR006]

Congratulations to you both!

[King3567]

Congrats!

Are you going to name your kid Metallica?

[Purple Santa]

Well you seem happy...so congratulations :). Now all those late nite gaming sessions will come in handy, letting your gf sleep while you tend to the little one.

[KingGorilla]

Pics or it didn't happen.

[Shadowstorm]

Congratulations, good sir.

[astranoir]

Congratulations! That is so exciting :)

[Johan]

Pics or it didn't happen.

All he'll need to do is describe the birth in words, and I'll know. It's a horror! :eek:

[tombofsoldier]

Maybe death come swiftly to your child's enemies.

[President Fred]

Maybe death come swiftly to your child's enemies.
That is a little half hearted.;)

[Abednigo]

Congrats! My wife and I are expecting on April 30th. Even though we're a few months ahead of you, it still hasn't really set in for us yet either. Although hearing the heartbeat a few weeks ago helped. :)

[Kelegacy]

Congratulations! Parenting sucks but being a daddy rocks. :D

This requires more detail. :eek:

Hah, I was kidding. It was a sick joke, a bad one.

Thankfully, a sense of humor is what kept me close to my parents over the years. My in-laws are incredible too...basically they find my perversity a riot, and feel much like my own family (actually they are, since the future mother of my child is my sister--we are close here in Maine).

So the kid should turn out a lot like me. Small genitals and all.

[Kelegacy]

Congrats! My wife and I are expecting on April 30th. Even though we're a few months ahead of you, it still hasn't really set in for us yet either. Although hearing the heartbeat a few weeks ago helped. :)

Yeah, I'm fairly stoic, but I bet I'll be a blubbering baby when the Giger-monster is born. Probably even sooner.

Gotta play more violent videogames to desensitize me to human emotion.

[Johan]

Gotta play more violent videogames to desensitize me to human emotion.

If your baby has colic, and you're awake all night for weeks straight, that'll cover that for you!

It really is a wrenching adjustment. I have six, and going from none to one was the hardest. The rest are really just no problem. Going from "me and you" to "me, you, and crybaby over there who wants to eat, poop, and scream" is tough, but worth it.

*crybaby would be me in the above example.*

[Scaryfaced]

If your baby has colic, and you're awake all night for weeks straight, that'll cover that for you!

That or you'll get used to driving the car around the block for hours at a time. Babies love the pur the motor. Ohh, epiphany! Play lots of racing games, problem solved.

Congrats Kelagacy. May your baby grow up to be well endowed.

Demerol Rehab Advice (http://www.rehab-forum.com/demerol-rehab/)

[Adam Blue]

Congrats. I just found out how this feels, so I'm right there with you (details later).

I'm just curious about your situation with the mother. I know a baby will somewhat pull things closer, but how is it for you? Unless you've been married this whole time and I just didn't pay attention...

[Spigot]

If your baby has colic, and you're awake all night for weeks straight, that'll cover that for you!

It really is a wrenching adjustment. I have six, and going from none to one was the hardest. Agreed. No matter how many people told me it would be a huge adjustment, I was nowhere near prepared for the change in almost every aspect of my life that I underwent when my son was born. Compare that to my daughter's birth, where I went home the day she was born and played videogames with my friends when they kicked me out of the hospital so my wife and daughter could sleep.

Just get in as many all-day/night gaming sessions and try to polish off as many JRPGs as you can before the baby is born as you'll barely be gaming for the first few months after he/she is hatched.

Congrats though! Of all the people on these boards, you were near the bottom of the list of potential parents :)

[Lance Uppercut]

You know all that money you spend on video games? You can't spend it on games anymore. Happy pregnancy.

[Kelegacy]

Congrats. I just found out how this feels, so I'm right there with you (details later).

I'm just curious about your situation with the mother. I know a baby will somewhat pull things closer, but how is it for you? Unless you've been married this whole time and I just didn't pay attention...

I'm not married. We'll cross that bridge later (meaning we will eventually do it), but we don't feel that it's necessary, even with a baby on the way. Oh, I'll catch hell from other people eventually, like coworkers, but it's not their life. I don't care. My family and hers don't either. And this wasn't exactly an accident. Something we've both wanted.

So no, this wasn't with some random chick or short term girlfriend. :)

[MagGnome]

Congrats! My wife and I are expecting on April 30th. Even though we're a few months ahead of you, it still hasn't really set in for us yet either. Although hearing the heartbeat a few weeks ago helped. :)

My birthday is April 30th! Um...congrats? :p


Congratulations Kelegacy! I figure you've got me on ignore, but I'm really happy for you. :)

[GunnyMo]

Does that mean I have to grow up now?

As long as you maintain "grownupness" for the important things (you know, responsibility, safety, etc.) you can be as kid as you want. I love being a "stinker" (as my son calls it) and having lots of fun. Stuffy parents are no fun. :D

Just remember: for the first several years your child will want you around and you need to make all the time you can for them. For gamers, that means your child is more important. I know, it sounds cliche, but there will be crunch times where your kid says, "Daddy, come play with me" and you're first response is "Hold on, let me beat this level!". Trust me. It'll happen. Make the time now because, after they hit that "my parents suck" phase you'll kick yourself in the ass for every level you beat instead of playing. ;)

That doesn't mean you can't play games with your kids. Hell no! Games are an awesome time spent with my son but spend that quality time now while the kid wants you.

Oh, and congrats. :D Spawning the first one is a great time.

[yeti]

Hye Kelegacy I became a father ten months ago for the first time and it really is the best thing that ever happened to me. Every day is better than the last and watching your little one grow is incredible, they change so fast.

I know, I know, it sounds like the usual parent dribble but it's so true. Sometimes I feel like a walking cliche when I'm talking about my son.

As for the growing up part, it kind of just happened naturally for me, I still play games but not to the detriment of Harry. I still enjoy everything I used to enjoy, but now they just have a much smaller part in my life, and that's the way I like it. I'm no longer on tenterhooks waiting for the new Takara Transformer to be released or the new Res Evil game to come out because they no longer hold such a large part of my life. I'm blathering now so I'll stop, I think you get what I"m saying.

Congrats, I'm sure you'll love been a parent and love your child.

[Kelegacy]

Congrats, I'm sure you'll love been a parent and love your child.

We're getting a DNA test just to make sure it's mine and not the other guy who was in the room when the baby was conceived. But hey, I have a 50/50 chance!

[bapenguin]

Awesome man, welcome to the club! When's the due date? I think there's a few of us that are due in April.

[Kelegacy]

Awesome man, welcome to the club! When's the due date? I think there's a few of us that are due in April.

Oh, she's VERY early. I think the due date is like July 9th or something. Her breasts hurt last week and I said it's probably because she's pregnant. She missed her period, we took a few of those cheap dollar store tests and they came up positive. Went out and bought a more expensive digital one just to make sure and yup...positive. Contacted her doctor for a blood test before we were comfortable enough to believe it.

She's starting her prenatal vitamins tomorrow and will be planning all her OB appointments tomorrow.

I knew you were having one too, so congrats again! We're about the same age and our kids will be too. Maybe they'll both be part of the same gaming forum as well. :)

[bapenguin]

[Blue]

Explain to her that the kid loves watching dad play games and that you need to acquire more to keep them happy. It's for their own good.

Congrats Kel :) I'm jealous.

[Blue]

Hahaha.

bapenguin jr. "When MY dad was gaming they used to play video games with controllers. No thought helmets - crazy!"

Kelegacy jr. "My daddy loved the day he could keep his hands free to do other things while playing."

This reminds me a bit of Back to the Future 2 when the one kid says "you have to use your hands?" regarding the game in the diner (was it like Hogan's Alley? I can't remember) when Marty goes to play it. That's all.

[squirrelTactics]

Hahaha.

[MagGnome]

Congrats to all of those expecting! :)

[Schnoogs]

This is gonna change a lot of peoples opinions about gay marriage....oh your wife is pregnant!!!

[pomeroy]

Congrats. I just found out how this feels, so I'm right there with you (details later).

Still waiting on those details...

[Abednigo]

Contacted her doctor for a blood test before we were comfortable enough to believe it.

We did the same thing. My wife actually had taken about 3 before she told me, then she took another 2 the next day. Then she got a blood test the next week. The midwife, after telling her she took 5 over the counter tests, laughed and said, "And why do you want a blood test?" LOL! You really do think, "No way!" And even tests that are 99% accurate won't convince you.

Hopefully your lady won't be (as) sick like my wife has been. She's going on 10 weeks of nausea and is pretty miserable. But she's 14 weeks along now so we're hoping she'll be coming out of it pretty soon.

[Camel]

Wow, congrats!

This is really surprising as well; I was caught off guard when I saw who started the thread!

I was hoping for a making of, myself. Something better than the Kim Kardashian video please.

Well, we made the baby by me masturbating in a separate room and then putting it in a turkey baster. You want to see the video of me masterBASTing? That can be arranged. I already emailed a copy of it to Magnanimous.

[KingGorilla]

I do not want to, in the sense that I would not pursue it, but given the option to watch I certainly would. I just hope that you brace yourself for the review later.

Congratulations.

Kelegacy is far from being a teenager. Interesting theory though...

[Mashidar]

Congrats. It is a time of adjustment for sure. My daughter showed me why dvd's were created for movies, as well as what it's like to never sleep again. If it's your first and you are not used to babies in general it's really odd. At least it was for me, now though my daughter is almost 2 and she makes me laugh every day with what she learns.

Right now she loves to take my controllers for the 360 and tell me she's going to play a game with them. Although if she takes a wired controller for the 360 she is kind enough to tell me that it's broken because it has a cord.

Man how kids growing up now won't know what a NES controller was like or any controller in general that had a cord to it.

[Gorvi]

Congrats! The first few weeks are deceptively simple, all they do is sleep. They're just lulling you into a false sense of security, though.....

Seriously, parenthood is the best thing ever. Totally worth not having any time to yourself anymore. ;)

[TurboKinny]

Congratulations :)

[Dorkandproudofit]

Congrats, Kel.

Just try not to think about how terrifying your wife will be when she's in labor. Like the Exorcist, but worse. Much. Much. Worse.

My advice to you is to get really involved and read up on all the baby facts and stages of development. It's really an incredible process. They don't call it "The Miracle of Life" for nothing.
