Well, I'm gonna be a Daddy...

You know, you guys all fuggin rock! Thanks for the kind words of encouragement and the insight, very cool of you all!

Marriage? One thing at a time here!
Well yeah, we have talked about it for sure. That and her family are Italian and very old fashioned that way. Since she was un-wed from her previous child, that puts her under some pressure for sure.

As far as playing guitar or whatnot, I'm sure that I'll be an influence and hopefully inspiration for learning, but I'll leave that up to the kid to decide.
But I will accept nothing less than a Jackson in my house damn it! LOL

Scott, congrats on your latest child, that's cool man!

I've been skimming over this book of baby names, and if it's a girl I was thinking Emily Pearl. Pearl was my Great Grandmother's name who recently passed, and I want to carry her name on in someway if possible.

For a boy I was thinking Prometheus. It's a noble name, which demands respect. LOL
Actually we havent had the time to really dig into it too much, but whatever we decide, I'll be sure to let ya know.

Thanks again everyone!

Prometheus? Hey, we were going to take that one....Just kidding.
Liam James is due 1/31/09...I can't wait.

Are you sure you want to name your child after a figure that was chained to a mountain by the gods and suffered having his entrails repeatedly devoured every day by a giant eagle (no, not like the grocery store) for the "crime" of hubris? On the other hand, Prometheus was a great friend of the human race...choosing to help them over the decrees of Zeus.


@ Skeezer, Liam is an awesome name.

Heres an idea Joe, Tony Iommi Klink... or if its a girl Tonetta.

First things first though, put as much Sabbath as you can on your MP3 player. Then get some surgical tape (non- allergenic) and tape the ear buds to your girl's abdomen, facing inward. All you'll need to do at this point, is to make the music loops for about twelve hours a day. Now as the pregnancy continues, you may want to increase the music time. For example: in the third trimester, the music should be playing for at least 20- 23 hours. Maybe at that point, you might want to add some Priest and or Maiden to the mix. Just to ensure the baby has a well rounded taste. But thats a judgment call, on your part.

Way to go Joe, congrats to both of you.

Looks like we'll be searching for a tiny scaled "V".
Good to hear everything is going well.
Congrats!

[DirtySanchez]

I could ditto or +1 several of the posts, but instead will simply say: CONGRATS and BEST WISHES!
