Thank you!

I'm very happy for you

It took only a second to parse this, and another second to verify that hearty congratulations are indeed in order!

I've resisted it for most of the first 56 years of my life...

Posted by: Hanan at Apr 2, 2009 6:00:13 AM

I kept waiting for the rest of the post...then it dawned on me... Well done you sly devil you ;-) I'm very happy for both of you. Congratulations. Now the fun REALLY begins. :-)

Oh how lovely! So good to see such happy news. We know you have been so fond of your sister's kids and now one of your very own. Beautiful.

Congratulations Hanan!
I had mine when I was young (20). Sometime I wish I'd waited until I was smarter. NAH! They're great at any age! Good luck!

congratulations!!!!!! CHEERS to a happy and healthy pregnancy!
this blog is my absolute favorite thing on the internet. thank you for all the e-Enjoyment in the last year!!

again, congratulations!

Posted by: Andrea at Apr 2, 2009 6:19:01 PM

Why do people congratulate women who are pregnant?
Is the world lacking in humans? Last I checked there is 2 humans born every second. Not quite the so called "miracle".
I would prefer to congratulate any one who chooses to get a vasectomy, or have their tubes tied. That is worth a celebration and a true contribution to save the environment.

In majority woman who choose to reproduce can be reduced to a selfish desire to feel self-worth and influenced by peer pressure from other women and family. Cheap labor for the third world.

Posted by: JJ at Apr 2, 2009 7:45:22 PM

You're right... I think your mother should have had her tubes tied. What a tasteless comment to make at a happy time of someone's life.

Posted by: Cam McCubbin at Apr 2, 2009 8:53:30 PM

There's always one bitter bitch in the bunch. Congratulations on your little blessing.

Posted by: Bing at Apr 2, 2009 11:18:44 PM

so, this bring up an interesting perspective; Instead of shutting down the blog as I was going to do now, I can simply continue the conversation inside this comment section, so only the people who might be interested in whatever going to transpire, will follow it here.

So actually, the blog will change into a "comment blog"... mmmm...

I have to think it through more....

As for the sourpuss poopypants poster, well, it takes all kinds to make a world. Bitterness makes sweetness even sweeter.

Does this mean you are going to change the name of the blog?

Irregardless of ol' sour puss above, my Uncle is a pediatrician, and he never gets tired of the miracle of life. That's what he says it is - a 'miracle' every time. I think you'll be a great Dad, Hanan. Congratulations.

I will add my congratulations. I gave birth about 9 weeks ago and it's pretty much the best thing I've ever done. Not the birth, that wasn't so pleasant, but the resulting daughter. Even though almost anyone can do it, her existence is somewhat surreal. Have fun.

Posted by: The Sallow Thing at Apr 4, 2009 9:28:31 AM

You could arrange to have the birth take place here in New Zealand, and have both a baby and a citizen. Congratulations, Hanan and be prepared for the best of your years, with your new child.

The ice block expedition of 1959 (Norwegian: isblokkekspedisjonen) was a publicity stunt carried out by the Norwegian insulation material producer Glassvatt (today called Glava AS). Responding to a challenge from the radio station Radio Luxembourg, Glassvatt decided to equip a truck to bring a three-ton block of ice from Mo i Rana by the Arctic Circle, to Libreville by the Equator. There was no form of refrigeration applied, and the expedition was intended to display the efficiency of the insulating glass wool used. The truck also brought 300 kg of medicines to the hospital of Albert Schweitzer in Lambaréné

So Long, My Boy

Nicholas Andrew Butcher died tonight. He was my son and I loved him, he was a good kid who lost his way. He lost his way enough that tonight in the county jail he took his life. At 3:00 AM the police knocked on our door and brought us the news. Two distressed cops and a chaplin came to my door to tell me that our son had committed suicide. It wasn't a long conversation, there was no need for them to have to watch my wife fall apart and there was nothing anyone could do to comfort her and my grief was bone deep enough that an outsider was no more than an annoyance.

Three days prior to his assassination, Abraham Lincoln related a dream he had to his wife and a few friends. According to Ward Hill Lamon, one of the friends who was present for the conversation, the president said: "About ten days ago, I retired very late. I had been up waiting for important dispatches from the front. I could not have been long in bed when I fell into a slumber, for I was weary. I soon began to dream. There seemed to be a death-like stillness about me. Then I heard subdued sobs, as if a number of people were weeping. I thought I left my bed and wandered downstairs. There the silence was broken by the same pitiful sobbing, but the mourners were invisible. I went from room to room; no living person was in sight, but the same mournful sounds of distress met me as I passed along. I saw light in all the rooms; every object was familiar to me; but where were all the people who were grieving as if their hearts would break? I was puzzled and alarmed. What could be the meaning of all this? Determined to find the cause of a state of things so mysterious and so shocking, I kept on until I arrived at the East Room, which I entered. There I met with a sickening surprise. Before me was a catafalque, on which rested a corpse wrapped in funeral vestments. Around it were stationed soldiers who were acting as guards; and there was a throng of people, gazing mournfully upon the corpse, whose face was covered, others weeping pitifully. 'Who is dead in the White House?' I demanded of one of the soldiers, 'The President,' was his answer; 'he was killed by an assassin.' Then came a loud burst of grief from the crowd, which woke me from my dream. I slept no more that night; and although it was only a dream, I have been strangely annoyed by it ever since."

congrats, and save that tester thingy from the photo. Ours got lost, and even though hes five plus years old now, and plenty of miscellaneous keepsakes are all over the place, I always regretted no saving the pregnancy tester that told us he was on the way.

Somewhere beyond the sea
somewhere waiting for me
my lover stands on golden sands
and watches the ships that go sailin

You can't shut down the blog now....you need to be able to pass it down to your child...filled with all the things that are going in the world, year by year, till he/she is old enough to read it...I sure wish I had something like this in my world - I haven't even filled out a baby book for my guy. You could even shift the topic according to how the pregnancy is going etc...It's a lot of work, I know.
