Hey we are going to be parents.

Continuing with my tradition of posting really important things with mundane titles, I figure Maxx will love this one.

That is right, Pauline and I went to the doctor today for the start of appointments for our first child. She had taken several over the counter pregnancy tests about a month ago and passed them, but we were still a little cautious that it might not be. She took one at the doctor today and passed it without even studying so we are calling it official.

They marked her as 10 weeks into the pregnancy and that her due date is set for June 24th right now. Apparently, it is a 40 week process. All of that was based on a little fuzzy remembering and no tests, so I don’t know how accurate it can be considered. Since she is supposedly 10 weeks in, they scheduled an appointment next week to see if they could find a heartbeat. I am a little worried that they aren’t going to be able to find one, because I am not really sure that she is really 10 weeks along, but they are the people that do this all the time so I am going to stick with their judgement.

We don’t know if it is a boy or a girl yet, but I am officially opening the doors for name suggestions.

And no maxx I have already tried Maxx and Christopher, and I don’t think either are going to get by the mother’s power of veto. 🙂

Well that is about all that I know right now. They took blood for lab work and such, but obviously none of that is back yet, so I can’t really tell you any of the results of that.

    Boy: Optimus Prime

    Girl: Pamela Anderson Number Two

    That took ten seconds. Anything else I can solve completely?

    Boy – Boris Norris of course!
    Girl- Doris Norris of course!

    Congratulations…

    on entering the ‘real world’.

    Well, if you want your baby to kick all the other baby’s asses you could name him/her CHUCK. Get it? …guys…no…anyone…(cricket chirps)? 🙁

    Don’t you DARE give the kid any of my given names – that’ll steal what little Mojo I have left!!! 🙂

    How about these:
    Sean, Connery, Trebek, Coach, Jimbo, Anakin, Jedi, Sith, Diablo II, Myrkridia, Deceiver, Rigor, Orangebook, Stallman, Linus…

    If you have a girl, some of those would still work – Myrkridia and Orangebook, definitely – Rigor, might be a bit tougher.

    Ah all great suggestions. So far I haven’t seen one that will make it past the P test.

  6. Michael says:

    First, congratulations.

    Secondly, I think you’ve gotten a little soft. You need to put some rigor back into the course of your life, so I’m seconding Maxx’s suggestion of “Rigor” for the name. 😉

    Congrats man!

    Continuing the tradition of unworkable names, I suggest ‘BruPaul’. Named after both parents, and gender neutral, therapy bills notwithstanding.

  8. maxx says:

    BruPaul!!!!!! Thats just terrific!
    Haven’t laughed so hard in a while… thanks Rob.

    And with all the random commenting on this post, some of my actual friends are finally making it onto the “Top Commentators” section. I was wondering if you guys might ever knock out the drive bys.
