Let it be a surprise!
Heh. At least you're married. One of my good friends was born 7 months after his parent's wedding..
"Maaaaa.. Get da shotgun, we's a havin us a weddin.." BOOM!

Congrats man!
BTW, one of my best friends has "been trying" for about a year. 2 months ago they got the good news too.
He'd show up at parties and during casual conversation would say "yes, my wife and I are trying to have a baby..."
at which time I'd pipe up in my usual way and say "Translation: they are screwing like rabbits!"
Again, congratulations and did you get those washboard abbs yet?
Be careful while driving, the day my wife told me in the morning, stepped into my car to go to work afterwards i crashed it in the garage.
Congrats anyway !

Ulfwald: Well this may be a little early, but congratulations! And as for if you should wait or not, that is a personal decision. We waited with our first two, and then with the third had an ultrasound. I could not believe how wonderful it was to see my baby before it was born. But I did like the suprise better.
No washboard abs, more like WASHTUB, too many nights in front of a server with a dominos pizza. Now I am trying to lose that.
"what to do now?"
Sell your computer. In nine months it will become a useless chunk of metal and plastic. You will never get to touch it again until your child enters kindergarten.

I cant sell the puter, it will be the only thing that will allow me to converse with normal geeks and other computer nerds

Damn, I'm screwed if I ever decide to have kids. Luckily she wants to wait 5 or 6 years...
Although, I was conceived in spite of the use of birth control...

Congratulations...no more hot deals for you on computer stuff, start looking for hot deals on diapers!
congrats! like someone said before, try to keep the sex of the baby a secret - don't look at the sonogram when you get it..and then it'll be a huge surprise when she gives birth to a boy/girl.
Dang, everybody is convinced that she is already preggers, but we don't even know ourselves yet. Oh well, any links to hot deals on diapers?
Anyway, I will always have to have the puter, I'm a network admin, gotta have it for work.

You're going to have to stop hanging around here and check out boards like mycoupons.com for diaper deals!
KB: you beat me to it!

Good luck man.....we will all be hanging on waiting for the results! While I'm at it, I'll put in a vote for knowing the gender of the baby. If the test is positive, have her start taking folic acid (400mg) immidiately. Actually, even if she isnt and you continue trying, have her take the supplement. Many birth defects can be avoided by this one simple supplement (now recommended by many obgyn's.) I wish my last g/f's mother had taken the supplement, would have made her life much easier. Anyway, back to the subject....we'll be checking this thread tomorrow!
Hey BoberFett,
I found the recipe!
Placenta in Orange Wine Sauce
1 large placenta (fresh)
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup chicken broth
orange slices, for garnish
paprika
curry powder
3/4 cup orange juice concentrate, thawed
parsley, for garnish
In an ovenproof baking pan place placenta, skin side up. Pour the white wine over the placenta. Add chicken broth to the pan. Sprinkle the placenta with paprika and curry. Spoon orange juice concentrate over the placenta. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake at 450 degrees for 1 hour. Remove cover; spoon pan juices over placenta. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake 30 minutes. Pour pan juices into a large saucepan. Bring to boil over high heat and reduce pan juices to a thick sauce, skimming fat. Select a large pan so that the juices can boil vigorously and not boil over.
Meanwhile, turn placenta over skin side down in baking pan; cover pan with foil again and keep placenta warm while sauce is cooking down. Arrange placenta attractively on a warm platter. Garnish with orange slices. Pour sauce over placenta and garnish with parsley.
Makes 6-8 servings.

Can somebody explain where baby costs come from?
I mean other than diapers, some clothing, some toys, and possible medical bills (though health insurance is nice to have), where do they cost money? If the mother is breast feeding, as she should be, food bills are negligible.

To some degree, you are right. I never spent a dime on formula, and none of my kids ever ate that baby food crap. Clothes aren't really that expensive, especially if you are a thrifty shopper.
The big question is: Does the mother stay home with the kids, or put them in day care? That is where the $$$ comes in.
Day care for an infant averages about $200 a week, I believe. More in other parts of the country, I'm sure. It gets adjusted as the kid gets older... less diapers to change, I suppose. And yes, the kid will get sick more often. Heck, at one center down here, they left a baby in the day care van and he died. Nice, huh?
BTW... Day care workers barely make minimum wage. Even the educated ones. Go
figure.
An episode of 20/20 or one of those news shows proved that for most people, having one parent at home actually saves money. A lot of people don't realize this. When both parents are exhausted, it makes life very, very difficult. Thank goodness there are more options, like working from home, nowadays.
I know some stay at home dads who rock, by the way!

Best of luck to you and the missus!
