My wife informed me last night that she has already told a number of people that we are expecting our third child. I did not realize that this news was fair game yet, so I am far behind in making my announcements.

I now offically announce that I expect to become a father for the third time, probably in late September.

The only real downside at this point is the "morning" sickness, which for my wife is not limited to the morning, and lasts far beyond the first trimester.

Congratulations! (and sympathies to your wife, for feeling icky most of the time)

When is the baby due?

Babies are wonderful. [Smile]

Much sympathy to your wife, and wishes for a healthy and easy pregnancy.

That's great news. [Smile]

Erm. . .attorneys actually can't reproduce. Therefore, this pregnancy must be a figment of your imagination. Same to your kids.

Anthro, what does that make me? (child of two attorneys) ...am I magical?

Wow, pH, my two nieces are mythical people too! I bet you'd have a lot in common.

whoa!

Congrats.

I thought this thread was going to be COMPLETELY different [Wink]

Posted by Dead_Horse (Member # 3027) on :

No attorney I know would intentionally reproduce. That;s what paralegals and secretaries are for.

Congrats!

*notices that she has no cousins*

huh.
I guess attorneys can't reproduce. Who knew? Wonder if I can exchange half the middle generation in my family for ones who will yield me a few cousins...

As a fellow, U of I person, I would like to offer my congradulations.
I can also state that lawyers must reproduce somehow, there are more of them every year. I'm convinced that we will one day wake up to a world full of lawyers and starbucks.

I hear that lawyer mating season in upper Manhattan is a wonder to behold.

Posted by MrSquicky (Member # 1802) on :

Lawyers can totally reproduce. It's seeing your reflection in a mirror that you can't do.

Oh, and congratulations.

Posted by Lalo (Member # 3772) on :

...spake the psychiatrist. The only physical kids you people have are nine months after you put your patients under hynosis. You spend the rest of your reproduction time making mini-Squicks in people's heads...

Stop TALKING to me! It's not like anyone pays attention anyway...

Congratulations on your recent productive merger. Here at Dewey, Chetam, and Howel, we are strongly committed to the quality of life of its associates. However, we would like to remind you that your billiable target for this year is still 2,400 hours. Again, congratulations.
