Six days and little Gabriel will join us in this crazy filled world. If he's late then it will be 12 days to D-Day.

Basically any day now.

And beleive me Lily will be so glad to her her stomach back.

I cannot wait.

Oh my gosh that is awesome news Raven wooooooooohooooooooooooo I can't wait to see a post saying the little darling is finally here.

I am sure he is going to be absolutely gorgeous just like your other children!

I am so very very excited for you and your family! :D:D:D:D

It is an exciting time. But god I hope we make it to the labour ward before drop time.
I've seen so much and done so much. But hell knows I don't want to deliver. *Shakes nervously*

Well, fortunately for you, delivery is your wife's role :)

Hey delivering a baby is terrifying business!

I won't go into detail though cause it may scare poor Raven lol my cousin delivered her last in her bathroom and her son was helping his daddy with it and he said the baby came out her bum lol was hilarious.

You will get there in time Raven! I am so darn excited for you and your wife. I hoep she has an easy labour though.

So exciting :D

So staring down enemy guns is fine,
I only wish it were as simple as that.

*Moves on swiftly*


New life scares me but its also the most joyous time any man can imagine. Once you hold you're new child for the very first time, well your eyes fill with tears and the type you can't avoid shedding. :) :) ;) :)

My ex delivered both of mine by Caesarian, and I was able to be there both times. I'm not squeamish about medical procedures, but even if I had been, nothing would have overpowered the joy of seeing them enter the larger world. :D

Yeah it is the most amazing feeling in the world. Nothing could ever possibly compare to the wonder of that moment. :) This is such a kewl thread Raven. So many happy thoughts and posting.

Awwwwwww :) It really is wonderful to be able to go through that experience.

Yeah its a proud time of life. And one that follows me down the years As I watch each grow. I remember the day I held them for that first moment.

And those tears of joy are the best tears i feel down my face.

It goes beyond words. I don't think any writer could capture it in a way that someone who has never experienced it could fully comprehend.

Congrats a bunch, Raven. You must be wanting to scream out to the world your joy. I hope your little twirt gives you a hard time, for a change ;) May your wife have an easy delivery and a happy motherhood.

Thank You.

Thats pretty much sums it up

owwwwwwwwww, a baby!! i love babies we wanna see lots of piccies. ok, i do. and that i a stunning name :) you nervous??

(But don't take that as a writing challenge ;) )

(But don't take that as a writing challenge ;) )

lol. Im still struggling with Chronilces lol

(But don't take that as a writing challenge ) i did try once. then i got sidetracked about babies and yea, it ended up going down the pan and instead i went round my aunties as she had a baby at the time. lol

Well its certainly an Emotion that cannot be explained in detail.

i hope it is a good feeling like. i bet it is. congrats anyways :D

Okay, so, I just looked up some live birth videos on YouTube (don't ask me why, I was just curious). And seriously, most disgusting thing ever. I am never having children.

Congrats on yours though, Raven. Maybe you won't find it so gross, since it's yours and all.

Gee thanks.

Trust me Freshmaker when your time comes you will feel the opposite. :);)

Frankly, children scare the hell out of me. It's not just the birth part. It's the whole being in charge of another life part. Like, if that kid ****s up in life, it's my fault. I don't want that responsibility.

Also, all the things I want to accomplish in life, I can't do those things if I have a kid. And I'm not prepared to put my life on hold for anyone. Maybe that's selfish. But really, I'm content in telling myself that at least I won't be contributing to the overpopulation problem.

My Younger Sister Is a little like that. She dances well she's now training to become a dance teacher.

I once thought like that. But I still had a very good career in the army. And my Wife well she has a good career too. And we're onto our fourth child. Proberly the last too.

Each person is very different.

But Kids scare the hell out of me too. And I've been a father for 9 years now.

Well, that and cheap labor in garment factories...

my dad always says the reason he had me and my sister is so he could stop doing work around the house. :p

Kind of a bummer when your parents introduce you around as "My little tax deduction"...

Giving birth to a child is the most excruisiating painful experience a woman can ever go through in her entire life.

It is also the most satisfying feeling in the world. It is far from disgusting to bring new life into the world, it is the most beautiful and uplifting experience that anyone could ever go through.

So many people see it as disgusting as it doesn't really look all that appealing to the eye to be honest, but it is the one feeling that a women is blessed with and I could never imagine going through life without having that wonderful experience.

Anywways back to the topic (sorry)

Pregnancy and child birth is the most amazing part of life! Don't think of it as disgusting as it is far from it. It is the most beautiful gift that has been bestowed upon us!

It is creation.

Doesn't that by definition make God a woman?

Good point. But then if we go down that road we begin a religious chat.

Oh please lets jump back to 6 days for me..

6 days woohooooooooooooo excitement brews!

:D

Too true ;)

What?? ;)

Precisely!

Dumpth

Threadjacked again!

hahahahaha and yours too!

Moo!

You have him thoroughly cowed!

Indeed! :p

Or at least, he's in the Mooed.

Most definately in the mooed! Don't you think we should try and keep this on topic though?

It is. It just gave birth to a new topic

Oh you are terrible Cogito :p but that was a good one.

So, Banzai, what do you win if you keep a high post count??

Bragging rights. Can you imagine if she had that? We'd never have a moment's piece! It's in the best interests of the forum on whole if I stay ahead. And I will not slight my duty :p

riiiiight...

i am nearly at 2000, it is climbing. i can safely say though, i have more of a life than you!! :p

My logic is undeniable though.

Heather, everyone has more of a life than me :p

nope, i would brag even even less, and i deserve it :p

Heather, everyone has more of a life than me hahahaa, true

nope, i would brag even even less, and i deserve it :p

Haha! Righteous Heather, is this?

Heather, everyone has more of a life than me :pI would challenge this claim.

Heather, everyone has more of a life than me

Does this even need a response??? :D

Well, plainly, since you did :p

Yes, but adamant apparently disagreed. My opinion is only one opinion

My opinion is five :D

This is hereby my opinion.




















Sorry what was the question again.

What is the meaning of life?

Congrats on being so near to having another kid Hulls.
Like other people have said, let us know when he's born.

Good God Torana... How much have you been posting while I was gone? I have some to do myself by the looks of things :p

I will get there and when I do you will fall to my feet and pray for mercy my dear friend!

I will get there and when I do you will fall to my feet and pray for mercy my dear friend!

Bah! This race isn't even nearly over yet.

It will be eventually and you will be crying pleading for my mercy!

Well bringing this thread back on to its original topic:

I'm soooo sorry that I missed this thread, congratulations :D:D Don't forget to let us know as soon as he's here and we definitely want to see some pictures :D Only.... after the childbirth part coz then the babies just look icky.

Lol. Glad you specified, Kit :p

Lol well they do look icky when they're born!

i had a horrible dream last night that i was pregnant and i was nly my age. and i was lying in my bed, scared to tuck my knees under my chin incase i hurt the baby and i had a funny pain in my stomach and i thought i had lost it and i woke up crying. :'( sorry if this isn't the right thing to post here. :p

so how many days is it now?? 3??

I don't think they run to schedule like that, heather :p He'll come whenever he pleases.


Hang on, if Raven is a god, does that mean this is a baby god about to arrive...?

Lol.... I don't think it works like that either...

I don't think they run to schedule like that, heather He'll come whenever he pleases.
what if you have prior engagements for the next few days after the due date!! :O

Buggered if I know. lol

Lol awwww.. well I hope all goes well and that it all goes to schedule - lest you displease Heather :p

lol. You will all be the first to hear it on the Net. ;)

With Photos

At least one or two. ;)

Which one of us gets to know first? lol...

You better post it before PMing anyone!

I'll make a post in the Lounge. Shouldn't be too long now though. 12 days max before induction. So it could basically be anytime between now and the last 12th day.

Is the excitement getting to you yet? Or is it more fearful anticipation?

Six days and little Gabriel will join us in this crazy filled world. If he's late then it will be 12 days to D-Day.

Basically any day now.

And beleive me Lily will be so glad to her her stomach back.

Nice one Bud. You better wet the baby’s head before venturing across the Internet. Hey I'll tell the lads too bud

Hope everything goes well! YAY!

1 day to due date.

The tension mounts....

Well in truth she'll proberly be late the first three certainly were lol. But 1 day and we're into overtime.

Lol I was 2, nearly 3, weeks late :p

Well fingers crossed for her she goes earlier than she did with the last 3 then.

Lazy buggers

Just like their daddy? :p

Hey thanks.

You only say that 'coz we're right! :p

If I'd gotten here first I would have said it :p But since I didn't, well done to Kit! :D

*celebrates* Now stop being offtopic :p

well, congrats on the day being closer and closer, i hope everything goes allright for ya's. :D and me and my sister were on our due date, although my mam was in labour for well over 20 hours with both of us. and we weren't easy, i was a C-section and Rachael had to have these suction things on her head to pull her out. :p

Sorry but Raven you left yourself wide open for that one lol and it isn't very often I pick on you at all....if ever and at least I thought better of it. Kit maybe you should of lol who knows what he will do to you now rofl

But yeah can't wait to see a post saying he is finally here Raven.

Now remember Raven, you MUST wait on her hand and foot. Answer to her every beck and whim.

When she says jump just bloody well do it and all else fails....wave a white flag and tell her you surrender lol :p:p

Hope she has an easy labour though and hope all goes well in the delivery ward for her and the little angel.

My nephew was a few weeks early and so was my neice I believe.
Their Mom is tiny, and they weren't so they ran out of room and had to be taken out by c-section.
My most recent nephew came out properly though.

How are your other kids reacting now that the day is so close, Raven?

Sorry but Raven you left yourself wide open for that one lol and it isn't very often I pick on you at all....if ever and at least I thought better of it. Kit maybe you should of lol who knows what he will do to you now rofl
