My wife is just past her first trimester, so far so good. Two arms, two legs, a head, and can see a bit of the nose (more likely it'll be more pronounced in a few weeks).
Should be expecting an endfire Jr sometime in February!
:)

Congrats!!

Get your gaming in now! Best advice I got was you wont believe how hard it is to get out and do anything on your own time after the baby is born

PS Be aware that baby mamma is needing more attention as well. I am still paying heavily for leaving my 7 month pregnant with twins wife in Boston during Hurricane Irene while I evacuated safely for a pre-deployment party of one of my army buddies in Vegas....... :knuppel2:
Congratulations!
Awesome news! Congrats, endfire!
Good job! O0

Thanks to you all, the missus and I are happy.

Haha, good advice! I bought what I could on Steam while it was on sale - maybe it's time for a Playstation or something.
Yeah I am having to tell the folks at work that I'm cutting down my work travel a tad, although I can support while in town. In the future, I'm hoping for a few more closer to home client locations, but we'll see. We both work, and her main US office is in Minneapolis. She doesn't have to travel as much, maybe a trip to Minneapolis, or to a client (I think she might want me to travel with her to Japan end of September, which I think is safe - something different than Cornwall UK!
Level up!
try and have the baby in Minneapolis so it doesnt suffer the stigma of being British. O:-)

Congrats Endie. BTW, the kids these days are all about the Wii U. But lord knows what it will be when your kids gets to gaming age.
Great news and congrats!

Haha, well, weather in Minneapolis looks pretty much similar to ours. Actually we live in Montreal and planning on avoiding UK for a bit if I can.
It's funny but my wife had all sorts of plans (Macau was one option). Sounds complicated to me, but my in-laws are there, and are quite old (80 and 69) and my father in law is waiting for some test results before travelling. We're looking over the options as they do want to come over, but it might get kind of cold in the winter here, and boring for them until Spring and Summer sets in.

Looks like I'm already out of touch. I figure it's going the way of the Nvidia Shield tablet eventually.

Oy gevalt! :)
Wife's originally from China (been in Canada for over 10 years). I'm born in Montreal, but my dad is originally from Greece and my mom is Acadian (French Canadianastian from New Brunswick). Usually spoke English at home, with some greek & french thrown in. The last few years has been a slow attempt at learning Mandarin, and trying to figure out the mixed Shanghainese and Cantonese dialects that the in-laws speak.
I'm wondering if adding both family names for the baby makes it complicated - Greek and Chinese names! At least my family name is not like Papazacaharoflessas; hers is short too.

To ensure that - part of the deal was that only I go to Florida for business! ;)
Congrats Endfire. And brace yourself. Forever!
Congrats! O0
If its a boy my I recommend Hung Low Papadapalus. 8)
and if you have any questions about Chinese food ask one of us Jews.
Congratulations!
Now that's a name :)

...can see a bit of the nose (more likely it'll be more pronounced in a few weeks)...
Is that a reference to the baby's Greek heritage?
(j/k :)))
Congratulations, Endfire!

Daddy has a big nose :) My wife appears to want the big nose instead of her small nose, but I'm undecided. I just hope he/she doesn't inherit my seasonal allergies!
It's not a schnozzola like Jimmy Durante or something like Telly Savalas, but it's not bad :)
Who loves ya baby!

Starfury's on a roll here, you got it :)
Lo Wang - heh, used to love those 3D Realms games.
Congratulations endfire!
... and Endfire JR is out! Sorry for the delay, we've been hella busy learning the ropes as first time parents. I present you Alexander! Delivered Feb 3rd 11:44 PM at 6 lb 9 ounce. He was due this week, but the doctor recommended he come out a little earlier due to my wife having slightly high blood pressure.
As one ruler said to his son (and obligatory grog quote):
Seek another kingdom, my son, that may be worthy of thy abilities; for Macedonia is too small for thee
We had to spend some extra time in the hospital and only got out last Friday (my wife had some bladder issues, but she's fine now). We're sort of getting into a rhythm of sleeping & feeding and were lucky to have my mom stay over for a few days to lend a hand.
Feeling proud!
Awesome! Congrats to you and the Mrs!
Fine looking kid! Well done to you (and of course to Mrs endfire!)
Congrats!!!
Congrats to you and the Mrs., Endfire!
Nicely done Endfire. Tell the boy I need my shirt back.
Congrats! O0
Congrats man! Very happy for you and your family!
Great news, Endfire! Congrats!!! O0
Congrats!
Congratulations! :D
The one funny thing I remember Howie Mandel ever saying was when he announced the birth of his first child before an auditorium of people who had come to hear his comedy act. They applauded madly and he said, "Thank you, thank you, but all I had to do was sleep with my wife". 8)

Hi Endfire, I've just seen this. Congratulations! O0
Is Endfire jr your first? Just be warned - your time on the computer will get seriously challenged in a few years time if my kids are anything to go by. :o ;)
