Daddy's Corner

I would like to start my first post by expressing my thanks to all of our friends and family for their words of praise and excitement. Those "I knew you could do it"s, "Wow. I didn't think your shit could swim"s. and "I hope it gets the mothers looks" are definitely appreciated. Sorry for those of my friends that had to find out by email blast from Carrie. Either I have not been drunk enough to spill the beans prematuraly to you in the "too early to tell anyone phase" or I have have not spoken to you directly because I do not have your Mexican or Canadian phone number, I am not on MySpace or FaceBook , or I did not want to send this wonderful news by text message. As Carrie said we have been plotting and over-planning this journey for the last 4 years. I cannot deny that I was a bit worried that my sperm was not fully charged. Between the trips to Bosnia with Hillary Clinton in 94 where we came under heavy sniper fire that grazed the jewels and the many recent sales calls to radiology where they were out of lead cover-alls I thought I may not have fully functional....... Well you get the picture. Despite my worries I was always confident about my sperm when talking to Carrie. While she would read fertility books and take vitamins I would tell her that due to my Mexican heritage that if I Kissed her without any protection on she would become pregnant. I am still pretty sure that is how I was concieved. It was not quite that easy, but sure enough I am un-deniably all man and was able to get the job done. I know you all have many questions so I would like to answer some of them now so that I don't have to have the same conversations over and over again. Please be considerate when talking to us about the pregnancy or anything else for that matter and come up with something more original and interesting to ask. Do you know what the sex is yet and are you going to find out? No, about 8 more weeks until that is easily confirmed and hell yes I hate suprises. Also, we want to know the color that we should use on the nursery, and whether to purchase a baseball mitt if its a boy or a shotgun if its a girl. What are you going to name him or her? We have some ideas, but will take suggestions. Pete Alles is the chairman of the Terrones baby names commitee so please send all suggestions to him. Carrie's dad has always liked Sibonis for a boy and I am sure many of you would like Wink, Keon, or Kaspars. Which of the 2 common answers to the words "I'm pregnant" did you give? Of course I was over come with joy and excitement so the more favorable of the 2 answers "Babe I am so excited. That is wonderful." automatically came out. Though I always wanted to say the less favorable of 2 answers "Are you sure it is mine" just to mess with Carrie. I didn't even think to say it in my joyous state. I guess thats a good thing, but I will try to remember for the next pregnancy just to keep Carrie on her toes. I will end this rambling now the same way that I started by expressing thanks to the few of you that have stuck with it and read the whole thing. We are excited to share this amazing and new time with you through this blog and other expressions. Mike
