Thanks! 
The last few days have been very whirlwind with respect to that. Very excited!
If the last few days are any indication it's going to be a very sleepy summer/fall/half of winter.... Gotta save the energy now for letting the kid walk all over me later, I guess.

Not that I actually know much of anything about this, but I think you'll be grateful for your final few months being in winter...Get the summer out of the way. It can be as cool as you want it to be...no heat and mugginess, and no desire to be outside in nice weather.
Wow, this thread has gone on for a while! Usually my threads do make it past 5 pages, so i'm expecting it to be locked sometime soon.
When the outing includes two parents:
Mom says "No", firmly and decisively.
Kid whines and asks Dad.
Dad says ok.
Kid eats ice cream, Mom scolds clueless Dad.

Back then it wasn't fashionable to actually do anything about your crushes on teachers. Although apparently there was a picture of one of these teachers, where she was posing kindof sexy, and some wierdo stole the picture. The look on her husband's face, when he was asking around about it, was pretty priceless.

Whatever you want to call it that's what we're having.

I've heard similar things about that from a couple others, too, so there's probably some merit to that statement.
Just FYI... we aren't telling too many people--a few close friends and family. I mention it here since we're a big MR family.
Well, may I offer my very discreet congratulations?floriflee said:Just FYI... we aren't telling too many people--a few close friends and family. I mention it here since we're a big MR family.
Absolutely! Thanks! We're excited/nervous/overwhelmed....
The rest of the world will find out soon enough, but we thought we'd wait until after the first three months before we start broadcasting.
We thought the good folks of MR might be able to give us a few bits of advice on the actual pregnancy and things to do/not to do. I think Neil has looked at a million websites already about the whole process, but it never hurts to hear about personal experiences. Anyway, should probably start another thread about that....
We've already ordered "What to Expect When You're Expecting" since three family members have already recommended it. That should be here next week.
Other than that, we've got a fair idea of what to expect after the birth from this thread.

woah, you guys are hilarious!
One of the harder things in parenting is to say No! when it is soooo much easier to just say "fine, here you go" and have no tantrum. FWIW, I say no a lot but I do pick my battles.
What if there was a method of parenting in which the child respects the parent, and the parent respects the child, in such a harmonious and joyfull relationship, that the child will actually respect her parents desire to have her not eat ice cream.
A relationship in which the child can talk to the parent like a friend, and they fully understand each other.
Not a relationship where the parent has a deathgrip on the child, and decides everything that they do, but a relationship in which the parent can share a joyfull life with the child, rather than control the childs life.

So you plug the book again?

to this whole thread.macgeek2005, I don't think this was the place to plug the book the first time, as repeatedly pointed out by several mods and members. Now that the topic has gotten off course, you feel another plug is somehow necessary, when it was against the rules the first time. I'd love to hear the logic behind this bold advertising strategy of yours.
