Against the Shadows VII - A Faded Glory Story Hour (Re-Updated - 5/17)

[Rel]

Tell your wife to try and hold out until Friday!

Since you are having a son, Valentines Day as a birthday will be a dream come true! When he grows up and has girlfriends or a wife, he'll be able to say, "Valentines Day isn't just about you, baby! Now where's my freakin' present?!"*

That would be grand. Grand I tell you!

Re: Babywatch Continues...

Mrs. Old One is holding up well, although she jokes the baby is "sucking the life from her".

I knew it. This explains everything. Even the ID Old One finally makes sense.

Guys, Old One is a Vampire. And his son somehow is too. It's all falling into place now.

The Baby Has Landed!

Greetings all!

Just a quick note to let the 2 Enworlders who still follow this badly out of date thread that Alexander Joseph arrived ~ 3:30 PM EST via C-section delivery on Wed, 2/12/02. He weighs in at 8 lbs, 4 oz and measures 20-1/4".

Both mother and baby are doing well, although Mrs. Old One had a difficult 30 hour labor prior to the decision for Ceasarian delivery. Alex is, of course, the smartest & cutest baby ever born (but then, I am somewhat biased). Pictures will follow shortly.

Til then...

~ Old One

With all sincerity, Phil, I couldn't be happier for you. Thinking back on the day that Samantha was born, I know exactly how you feel and it doesn't get much better.

Get ready to be astonished daily at how much you will love someone who, until very recently, was just an idea. Get ready to look at your wife in utter amazement and say, "My God! We've created a person!" Get ready to be deathly afraid of every potential thing that could pose a threat to this fragile new life.

Get ready for poop.

Actually, get ready for that stuff next week. For now, just soak in the idea of fatherhood. It is a wonderful, wonderful thing.

God bless your family, especially the newest member.

Welcome to the world, Alexander Joseph. Your dad is a pretty great guy.

Alixander Joseph. I like it!

You know, I heard about an adorable healthy baby boy by that name. His father was a great writter, wonderful DM, and all-around great guy. Though he hasn't grown up yet, I fully expect that boy to do great things; the first of which will likely be potty-training.


Congrats Old One. You made a person.

Two ENboarders? That makes me an outsider

Old One: Congratulations and best wishes to you and your wife, I hope you are well (she recovers from the birth and you from an overdose cigarettes ).

Looking forward to the pictures!

Congrats Old One and Mrs. Old One!

(I'm a bit disappointed you missed the opportunity to call Alex "Young One"...)

Congradulations

Just think of your new reading list:

"The Big Red Barn"
"Goodnight Moon"
"Guess How Much I Love You"
"Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You?"
"The Monster at the End of this Book"
"Rainbowfish"
"Runaway Bunny"

(Get them in Board Book form, so they won't be totally ruined when they are chewed on, except for "Rainbowfish" get that one as a "Bath Book")
