Actually I probably got it a few weeks before but I thought I'd share...

Immediately following our trip from Amsterdam my husband and I found out that I am pregnant! We had been trying to have a baby and I did put the offer forward that if it went down in Amsterdam and the baby was a boy we might end up calling it Adam (get it??). :)

Cheers ya'll!

Well done, all the best.

Congrats, just don't hang that eerie picture in the kids room if you ever manage to acquire it. We have two girls who are now 18 and 22. The best advice I can give you is to start traveling with them when they're young, very young. Our oldest went to Europe with us for the first time when she was 2, the younger one was 5mos. Good luck and best wishes.

Thanks guys!

Sidenote on the eerie picture - the gallery was closed on *every day* that we went to go see about the painting. I guess the holidays were causing scheduling issues. The artist though is showing again at that same gallery right now. I'm not sure how long the show is to last but I can dig up the gallery name if anyone (abc123) is interested.

I was watching a TV show recently where a couple was wondering what it would be like to have a baby. The woman said that someone told her "It's like having a dog that gradually learns how to talk." So, you might consider naming him/her Spot.

Congrat, What a wonderful thing to share with this board. I wish you much happiness. As a mother of two boys I can tell you your life will never be dull and always filled with surprises. Being a mother is the hardest job in the world but its worth every moment. So cherish every moment because time does go by fast. Take alot of pictures too.

Congratulations and all that to the two of you. The first 21 years is the worst aparently.

My wee boy is 3 and called Adam for the very reasons you mentioned in you're post and cos I liked the name of course.

Good luck

Dave

Whenever I run into a couple socially that says they're "trying" to have a baby, I always volunteer to demonstrate (on the wife) personally how to do it, since we have three kids. This suggestion is usually taken in the humorous way it's meant, but not always....

Seriously, congratulations to the both of you! As an old fart who has just watched his oldest move out permanently to start his own life, my advice is to treasure each and evey moment with your kids - they are the greatest gift, and the greatest source of happiness you will ever be given. Of course, there are tough moments, but they are outweighed a million to one by the joys.

May your child be healthy and happy!
