Can finally tell everyone, although my wife is only 5 weeks along.....I'm gonna be a daddy! Whoot!

My wife and I have been married for 7.5 years and have wanted kids from the beginning but college, finances and insurance has gotten in the way. So glad we got everything figured out because we are so pumped to be parents!

If it is a boy his name will be Oliver and Ollie for short. He would also have my middle name of henry in which my grandfather and father also have. Decided though that we don't want a Charles Henry Howe IV. Lol

If it is a girl her name will be Lorelai Renee but we still aren't sure on the spelling.

Truthfully my wife and I are really hoping for a boy...which means...we will probably have a girl. Either way we will be blessed!

Congrats!

We too were married for more than 7 years before our first was born.

Congrats! Had our first (daughter) last August.

Being a dad is awesome...I never thought I'd be one to say "it goes so fast", but these last 5 months have flown by, and have been the best. Enjoy it!!

Congrats, fatherhood is great.

I too wanted a boy, and I got one. The second time I wanted a girl, and I got two more boys. Pray, and pray hard that you don't see two heart beats the first time you go to the doctor! ;)

Congratulations! I'm nervous as hell waiting another month on our first. Speaking of which at some point I need to put that dresser together...

What kind of cigars will you be passing out? Fuente had boxes of 25 with "It's a Boy" and "It's a Girl" plastic wrappers that I used to buy back when I smoked cigars. They were pretty smooth for the price.
