LOL!! Thanks Tony, and everyone. I'll be sharing your posts with her tomorrow when she comes home from the hospital. I'm trying to post a pic of little Anna Sophia. I'll put up the link later if successful. All the best, Wes

0814 hrs - Lansing, Michigan, USA ProDaughter is born weighing 7 pounds 4 ounces (or for you Brits, that's um...uh, oh who knows), and 20 inches long. Mom and baby are healthy and I'll upload a pic shortly. She's way tougher than I. She went without pain meds and is just incredible. What a gal. Thanks for all the good wishes and prayers! Wes Pro

UPDATE: The baby is still hanging on not wanting to come out. I guess it's nice to have a womb with a view... sorry. Maybe the child just likes getting womb service... oops. Couldn't help it. It amazes me that we men spend 9 months getting out of there, and the rest of our lives trying to get back in. Zathrus, she's a doctor, so I'm sure she knows how it happened. Whilst she was contracting particularly hard last night, I leaned over and whispered, "Just think honey, two more and we're half-way done." I'm not sure what happened next but this morning I woke up with a big bruise. She who must be obeyed and I are both probably done with the babies thing. We were discussing birth control and she said that I'm so clumsy, she'll just give me a stick of gum at night when we go to bed. Not sure I understand that. Oh well, more to come when the blessed event occurs. ciao, Wes Pro

Update: I'm glad I'm not a woman. This is taking forever... and she had the nerve to get cranky with ME! Doesn't she realize what I'm going through? Sleeping in the hospital's recliner (which is not very comfortable) while she makes all those damn noises! It's hard enough to sleep. ;-) j/k Actually, they've given her until Sunday to pound it out (I'm so sensitive, eh ladies?) or else they'll go in after it. I've passed along all the good wishes to Carol. She's one tough lady and I'm glad she married me in a moment of weakness. Guys, I don't think we could do this! There'd be a lot fewer children born if men had to carry and deliver. Cheers and Thanks all round, Wes & Carol

Just a quick note to my friends that my wife and I will be at the Hospital shortly to deliver #6 child. We haven't chosen a name. Please send up a quick prayer that all goes well (it's looking good so far) and that mom and baby will do well. I delivered our last two, and if there are no complications, I expect to do the same this time. It's probably the best experience of my life (#2 is killing rag-head gun-monkeys in real life). All the best to you all, Wes "ProSoldier"

ROFL!!!

My wife says I have at least ten dementias.

Any word on when TSO will work with DX10? Hopefully TS3 will be a bit less CPU and bandwidth intensive. Wes

Would you recognize a Persian Cat if you saw one?

Hey Athlon, I'm taking the family to Disney the week before Thanksgiving. Want to get together somewhere for a drink? Pro

I like the Spy, but hey, that's just me. I didn't see a Redneck, that would be a great addition in 2.1. The Sniper looks Aussie, what do you think Mutilater? Pro

Hey Postal. Congrats. When do you go to Air Assault School? Have they scheduled you yet? If you look closely at the first photo, it almost looks like someone put grafitti in the form of a puking chicken on you HQ building. Sorry about that bro! (j/k) All the Way! Airborne!

LOL. I do the same with my wife, who is an MD and she knows I'm not ignoring her. BTW, yes nurses can be uptight itchbays, but I have tons of respect for them.
