Be Excellent To Each Other

I might have mentioned it, but Lady Droman and I are expecting a little girl.

Congrats, Captain. Get your gaming (and life) in while you can!

Congrats! Er - did you know about it before signing up here? Only everyone here seems to be having babies lately, and I'm worried there's something up with Grim...'s php.

Excellent stuff.

Yeah, we did know. I think I may have mentioned it in passing previously but just wanted to have a bit of show and tell action.

Every time apache goes down forumites best get out the test...

FOR THE TENTH FUCKING TIME POCAHONTAS, I AM NOT YOUR FATHER.

Maybe it's like the powercut conception thing. "Oh no! Beex is down! What are we going to do now?!" "Well...."

POST OR HOST!

I've done it while posting.........

I've got head while playing Forza with you chaps

is the RRP £54.99 on this one?
is anyone doing it for £36.99 on preorder?

congrats

That'll account for all the shouting.

I hope little Angela is born on 2nd Sept so she shares a birthday with her namesake.

I got ahead too once, but Meaty overtook me again. What?

Awesomes Cpt_Droman. Being a dad is not something you can really prepare for IMO, but it is utterly amazing nonetheless!

Thanks. We're all friends now, so please...call me Droman.

Or Captain.

Actually, lets stick with Droman.

This.. It is amazing..

We just started trying the little chap on solids yesterday..

Also... at the moment of birth, you will cry. I was perfectly composed throughout the entire (rather arduous) birth of my daughter, but the second she arrived I blubbed like a little girl.

I cried the first time we saw her beating heart.
And almost when i felt her have hiccups while i had my hand on Jemma's tummy.

Poof.

Well done!

Grim...


Congrats Droman!

There's still time for games, don't worry. Between 11pm and 2am, once baba is in a routine, natch.

This place is turning into a parenthood clique.

Er, I mean congrats!

Congratubabylations!

I've never played Forza with you and I still want to scrub my hands and controller.

Oh, just wait for the first solid-food puking session! It's an... experience.

Also: Congratulations Droman!

Have the child with an ex-partner, with the child living with aforementioned ex, and have pretty much as much gaming time as you like!

Actually, on second thoughts, don't do this. Having to say goodbye to your baby daughter and knowing you won't get to see her again for a few days sucks donkey balls.

But! Mama Zioette does send me a photo of my daughter everyday when I'm at work, which proves surprisingly effective at helping one to get through dull work days.

Sounds a bit repetitive to be honest... I mean she's just going to look the same as the day before, isn't she?

And stop attention-whoring Steve - I already know you're officially fertile, no need to wave it in my face

You'd be surprised by:

a) how quickly they grow and change.
b) how it is impossible to get bored seeing your own child.

a) pretty sure they don't grow and change so fast that it is noticeable on a day-by-day basis
b) pretty sure my mum and dad would take issue with that

Pretty wrong then.

First week after being born especially.

Look, when he doesn't even know what's funny, why do you expect him to know about sprog growth?

Also: congratumaltaiotns Drom.

Pretty possible I am... although how I would have been any more wrong within the first week of my life I'm not entirely sure

Did the Doctor slap your Mum when you came out?

No, she thanked him and 9 months later my sister was born.
