Well, she's out of the first trimester so I guess that makes it officially official.
Yes, the news you may have heard on Fox, MSNBC, CNN, AP, Reuters, in the WSJ, NYT, the Onion and the Duffel Blog, is true...my girlfriend and I are expecting our first baby. I'm going to be a dad. I've been waiting all twelve weeks to tell you guys. I couldn't think of another group of friends that I wanted to share my joy with more.

So where's Jr. going to go to finishing school, San Diego or Parris Island?
Congrats
Now you have to start setting a good example. Or end up with wild and crazy but good kids like mine.
love the marine uniform - well done JH - someone at last is coming to this planet who is going tell YOU what to do, especially if its a girl
A big Congrats to you and the Missus!

No child of mine is going to be a Hollywood Marine!
WOOT! Congrats JH!
All that training the Corps gave you will finally come in handy- especially how to function while sleep deprived... ;D
Most awesome news I've hear in a while JH. Heartfelt congrats to you and momma!
.... and life will never be the same
Congrats JH! :)
Hot damn,
Jarhead! Congratulations man! That's the best news I've heard all month.

God help us all if he has a daughter. He may kill off the rest of the world's population just to be safe... :P
Just the male half.
This is great news! Congratulations to you both.
Congratulations, Jarhead! I expect he/she will be able to reliably target shoot out to 100 feet by the 3rd birthday? ;)

That's the half that contains me. So my concern that Martok may be right stands. ;D
Congrats JH - and say goodbye to full nights sleep for a while!
CONGRATULATIONS! I'm really happy for you mate!

I wish I'd found this when mine were young enough to wear it. :D
Congrats :) Now that were some Thanksgiving news 8)

Congratulations. Enjoy every minute of it.

Congratulations JH to you and your girlfriend! Of course life as you know it will soon be over. ;)
Congrats, JH!!! Awesome news ;D The lucky kid is gonna have a great dad!
Congrats JH and take the above advice on sleep deprivation. I'm going on 7 years without a full night's sleep and I'm doing just...zzzz
Congrats to you and the missus! There are very few people I can confidently predict are fit parents, and from everytrhing you have shown through the years, one of them is you! Unfortunately for you, the rest of those I deem worthy reside on this board, too ;-)
Fantastic news man! All the best to you and your incipient family!
Congrats JH. Virtually nothing you have seen so far
can prepare you for what is to come. When playing at the
computer try not to crush the little one when something good
or bad happens. When asked what you are doing always say
"Learning the Alphabet Mom!"
Congrats! Nothing like having kids.
At the risk of poking a big guy with a stick I will point
out that SHE is actually having the baby. This will become
more obvious as time goes along. I still get cold glares for
suggesting I contributed much prenatally to my kids and I
am not even married to that woman anymore.
Life is an Adventure.

LOL.
The neighbor across the street chewed my ear off when I didn't by my wife a Mother's Day card when she was pregnant with our first baby.
What a SCAM! She's not MY mom! And I'll already be footing the bill for them to buy her presents until they are old enough to buy them for her themselves!!!!
JH, great news.
Your kid is one lucky dude. (Dudette?)
Congrats man. Good bye sleep and sanity.
Congratulations, Jarhead.
Boy, you're life is about to change in a drastic way!
Congrats!
Do you have a preference for a particular flavor?
You can now own this t-shirt. ;D

My own daughter's current favourite is a show called Victorious. It's hateful. In fact, even taking into account it's a kids' show, I think it's probably the worst show in existence.

The first season of PowerPuff Girls rocked. Then it sold out and got cheesy.
PowerPuff Girls WAS pretty good! I liked Mojo Jojo the best :-)
