    If it's a boy, just remember to go buy some rope so you can tie his right hand behind his back and start developing your left handed starter.

    Congrats TS!

    Congrats to you and Mrs. TS. Take good care of that woman.

    I remember when our last came out of diapers. It seemed like we had been buying them forever. I think it was 8-9 years straight that every time we went to the grocery store, diapers were in the cart. I should have bought P&G stock.

    When we started to not take a diaper bag with us, I kept feeling like we forgot something.

    It's funny, a couple years ago, my youngest was baby-sitting an infant and she called Dad (the haz-mat squad) because the baby had poopy diapers. I went over and showed her how its done. She looked at me in amazement and said "how did you know how to do that?". I just laughed. Just like riding a bicycle, you never forget.
    She used to wake me up with coffee ever morning

    Oh yeah, when you're out of that stage, you feel like you've grown an extra arm.

    I also always remind parents who are expecting their third child that they'll now be outnumbered!

    Hmm... well I am left handed and used to pitch a little (my mom is left handed also) so maybe if I train him as a new born and on up that he will be a better pitcher than I was lol

    Re: Just found out tonight...

    We went to the doctor yesterday and today - heard the heartbeat yesterday (170)... a little high, but in the normal range.

    Today we saw the ultrasound and all I can say is... WOW... What a dose of reality. It really seems like it is going to happen this time. She is ten weeks, so it's too early to confirm it being a boy It was flipping around, doing jumping jacks, push ups, summersaults, and it looks like its getting ready for spring training in there lol... great stuff, very cool feeling

    I remember our first ultrasound. My wife seemed to be able to be able to distinguish the features, but for all I could tell, she might as well have swallowed a circus peanut whole. Of course, I pretended I understood what we were looking at,passing my first test in fatherhood with flying colors.

    haha... I completely understand that. It took me a minute to make it all out. The still pictures are horrible too, can't distinguish mcuh at all.

    Re: Just found out tonight...

    Glad for your happy update! I must admit my heart dropped a bit when I saw this thread had been updated today....I was afraid you were telling us bad news. I remember my ultrasounds with my daughter those first few months. I was so anxious every time to make sure everything was ok...it's such a big relief and excitement when you can see and hear that little heartbeat. This hasn't been medically proven, but an old wives tale is that higher hearbeat rates are girls, while slower rates are boys. It held true in my case!

    Good luck!

    Pretty soon, he/she will be asking for the car keys, a cell phone, and a new iPod.

    Congrats and I hope it all goes well. My wife and I found out last Friday that our first child is a boy.

    You can use a line that I stole from Jimmy Pardo. Right before they do the ultra sound.
