i need to ramble, distracts from the pain im in. so here goes... though nothing is confirmed...repeat, nothing confirmed...everyone seems to think my wife is pregnant. It started back east. At my wife's extended family get together it was first hinted. See, her side of the family breeds like mad. He mom has 3 sisters, each with 3,4 kids each, so that brings us to roughly 10 or so cousins, and 4-5 of them have 2-4 kids each. There's a lot of damn breeding going on obviously. Two of her aunts gave me boxes of chocolates and making light, i said "hey what are you trying to do, fatten me up?" and one of her more interesting cousins leans in smiling and says "no, chocolate is an aphrodisiac". Hint noted. The day after we had sex in her childhood bed (there is nothing so gratifying when your father-in-law is making you feel like a schmuck and an outsider the whole trip than schtooping his daughter in the room next door.) she started with the dizzy spells and the funny feeling in her belly. Uh oh i think. Though she has always been prone to dizzy spells being a fairskinned gal and with occasional low blood sugar, she thinks these are different. She's eaten well and has no reason to believe her blood sugar is low. Then on to my family, and the dizzy spells are on full blast from the night we get there throughout the whole trip. Of course when my mom and sister get wind of her spells at dinner the cacklin hens get to speculating. My sister was so convinced she joking threatens to get a pregancy test for Nico's stocking. The banter and speculation went on at the Morrison house. "Yep, sounds like preganacy alright" giggling on and on and on. Last night, hanging with our friends L & C, parents of two....L starts recalling her pregancies and says "yep, sounds like it to me you always think its your period....or the symptoms that lead up to it, then BLAMO, you realize its a bit more complicated than that." So everyone thinks my wife is pregnant. To be honest i have a hunch too but lets just wait and see what happens.

may your firstborn be a masculine child.

Congrats, Patty. That's great!

not yet

It's only great if the child is wanted. And from Patrick's recent posts from the last half of 2001, it sounds like a pregnancy would REALLY throw a Wrench in the GEARS. That's only my interpretation based on some sentences I have read here though.

thats fairly accurate, although im more open to raising a child than i ever have been. im comfortable with the risks we take. yes it could cause some worry and stress, almost entirely in the financial realm but people say thats always the case.

I'm with sem. Hope you're getting one only if you want one, patbaby.

well there hasnt been any clear cut "i wanna kid" proclomation made in my mind.

there have, however, been clear cut "i wanna kid" proclamations made right here on strangle bbs, inc. i seem to recall, anyhow, although i'm too lazy to look for them. may your firstborn be a girlchild, for the love of god.

i hope you have a little furry Yak child. so much easier to care for ;)

danggit where's my post???? anyway...agatha my words have never been so direct ever. trust me. the most ive said (and i model and craft my phrasing oh so accurately) is the idea is growing on me and "im more open to the idea now than I ever have been" thats my position to the world and to my wife. Im not sure you would ever hear the statement "i want to have a child" ever ever ever come from my lips. i hope no offspring of mine is furry. and there are too many girl yins already in the world. we need more boy yins.

I hope you have a CHUPACABRA!

Ok, maybe I was too quick on my congratulations, which was summarily stomped all over, but lately, I've come to the realization that family's all that really matters anymore, at least to me. Good luck, Patrick.

I hope it's Australian.

Patty a Daddy. Huh.

I hope it's French

fuck the french. and there is a reason the Brits chose that place to dump their criminals. Somethings never change. I see you are still clueless dani.

Fuck the french, they are pansies who would be beaten by the canadian military if the strugle for their control over canada ever went to war... And I hope your firstborn is both masculine, and female. Almost Amazon like.

while i was in hawaii, i held a one month old infant, Malia, the daughter of two married friends, JC - French vietnamese and Dianne - caucasian American. beautiful little baby. she wasn't wrinkly. her skin was brown, soft, her limbs puffy, delicate. lots of black hair. dark purple eyes. i wanted very badly to hold her but wasn't very good at it. it felt awkward, more awkward than i anticipated. her limbs didn't appear to be comfortable in any position. she was just a blob sort of leaning against my breast and chest and shoulder. she liked to have her back tapped. if i tilted her back while holding her head and neck, she started to make funny faces and i could see fussiness or maybe even crying in the near future, so i quickly slung her back over my shoulder. she slept. her ears were so small and ticklish. it made me want to have babies even more. but i don't know. it almost doesn't seem right.

Sarah, I had a question for you about your job and stuff... Could you email me when you get the chance.

France hasn't had any control over Canada for quite some time.

i was gonna say hal....what the fuck are you talking about?

im not a daddy today, nor for the next 22 days or so.

Yup...uh huh...thats me alright...totally clueless. K Patty. Whatever you say. Fuckface.

Ahh Fuckit... I don't know I'm stoned
