RaiRai and Shiney are KIDDED! IT'S A BOY! THEIR SOUL REMOVAL BEGINS NOW!

[RaiRai]

Mwahahaha. I unstickied the wedding thread because, hell, it's almost been two years now! If people didn't know that we're married then I'd wonder where they've been all this time!

http://www.avariel.net/~rairai/pregnant.jpg

Ya have to squint a little. It does say 'pregnant' from the right angle.

Yes, Shiney and I are expecting our first baby! And considering most of you are guys you're probably gonna go 'Ewwww' or somesuch, but I don't care.

Advice? Worries?

[Inbred Chocobo]

I am curious as to which horse he or she is going to ride, number one, two, three, or four?

With all kidding aside let me be the first to congratulate you. Well, at least the first one in this thread. Have you guys considered any names yet?

[Funka Genocide]

but! You're my age! I'm both excited and scared for you! I really have no advice, this sort of thing is way out of my league. I know that kids can be some of the biggest pains and pleasures in life though, I'm just in awe.

way to go! You've created life! *high five*

[xravi]

wait, your both pregnant?

[RaiRai]

wait, your both pregnant?

It's polite to state that the couple is pregnant so that the male feels more involved.

[xravi]

It's polite to state that the couple is pregnant so that the male feels more involved.

Well he is involved what with him cursing blessing you with a living thing inside you.

[Mirai Gen]

I just like the fact that the only words Kurosen said on the issue was, as you said, "Ewww."

EDIT: Also I find it kind of weird that yesterday I was thinking the exact same thing about the "are married" thread.

[Marn of Mayhem]

I find it a bit sick that I had the same first thought as xravi. But regardless, congratulations!

Now I have to go get some ice for my head. Bonked it while I was searching for the right angle.

[musicalmechanic]

Hah, good luck with that.

At one point my wife wanted to have kids, but she's always been leery about the whole 'something kicking me down there' feeling. It's almost like a bad episode of Aliens or something.

Of coarse, being the loving and caring husband I am, I wanted to reassure her that it would be ok. So, while she was at work one day, I went to her computer in the main bedroom, and set this as her background...

http://www.toocurious.com/newspic/baby's_kick.jpg

Then I put her Firefox back up. She doesn't shut down her computer. We just leave it running because of torrents for the most part. A couple of weeks later, she was doing some maintenance on her computer and finally decided to shut down. Suddenly, I hear this bloodcurdling scream from the back of the apartment.

It was good times.

Oh, and just a minor reminder of what you have to look forward to...

And just for reference, we'll probably be adopting.

[xravi]

I find it a bit sick that I had the same first thought as xravi. But regardless, congratulations!

Now I have to go get some ice for my head. Bonked it while I was searching for the right angle.

I shall take that as an insult my good sir.

[Noodlesis]

Don't Give him/her paint.

Congrats though!

[Lady Cygnet]

Do you and shiney know your blood types, RaiRai? If you are Rh negative and your baby is Rh positive, it could cause problems later on down the line.

Also, are you planning on learning the baby's sex before he or she is born, or would you prefer it to be a surprise?

[RaiRai]

Names: Samuel if it's a boy and the girls name was originally going to be Emily, but too many people I know have chosen that name, so working on something new.

Blood types: I have absolutely no idea on my blood type. Shiney is A+.

And yes, we would like to know the sex of our baby in advance as we've a lot of moving around and plans within the next few years, so it'll make things a little more stable for us.

[B_real_shadows]

how about Perpetua? That's always been a nice name. Its also rather uncommon, don't you think?

[Azisien]

It's polite to state that the couple is pregnant so that the male feels more involved.

I wouldn't give us apes so much credit, though. And I had this really awesome punchline, but I think I'm going to totally chicken out because it would be directed at two moderators!

Azisien awaaaaaaay!

Oh right, advice: use dice to determine the name! Bwahaha!

[Lady Cygnet]

Blood types: I have absolutely no idea on my blood type. Shiney is A+.


It's pretty important that you find out your blood type as soon as you can. If you are Rh negative, your OBGYN will probably give you a RhoGam shot so that your immune system won't mistake your unborn baby for a foreign body and attack it.

[Krylo]

You know... those pregnancy tests generally work by pissing on them... and so, for some reason, I can't get past the fact that there's a picture of something Rai has pissed on posted on the forums.

Gimmie a few hours to wrap my head around that and then I'll say something about the demonspawn.

P.S. Never ever follow B_real's naming advice, unless you're following the "Boy Named Sue" school of parenting.

I suggest Lisa. I've yet to meet a Lisa who wasn't attractive and intelligent, and, well, I figure with you two as parents you could probably help to eliminate that slight oddity for me. Or maybe just do what I do when I try to think of a character name: Mash a bunch of letters together until you get something vaguely name-like.

[musicalmechanic]

My wife and I usually get into spats about what our future adopted child's name might actually be. First problem would be the last name. She kept her last name when we got hitched because she didn't like mine. And I'll be damned if I'll ever change my last name to Fry, so that was that.

Second problem is that most of the names we'd pick for children would come from video games, or movies (a lot like our cats).

For some odd reason, she originally wanted a girl named Tuesday Ann. Now she's leaning toward Lennith. But if it's a boy, I get my way (supposedly). I'm leaning heavily toward something normal, like Alucard.

*edit*

You know... those pregnancy tests generally work by pissing on them... and so, for some reason, I can't get past the fact that there's a picture of something Rai has pissed on posted on the forums.

I second that.

[Krylo]

I'll ever change my last name to Fry,

But if it's a boy, I get my way (supposedly). I'm leaning heavily toward something normal, like Alucard.

You DO realize you could name the kid Phillip James Fry, right?

[CelesJessa]

Remind me to never ask you or your wife advice on naming a child.

But seriously, whatever you choose for the name, for the love of god, don't try to "unique" it up by making it spelled stupidly. Such as a girl named "Loghanne" or "Lae" = "Leia". (remember parents: having an accent over a vowel does not give you the right to pronounce it however the hell you want)

Otherwise: congrats and good luck with the bundle of joy.

Silly krylo, we all know you're just jealous because he's not your demonspawn.

[Mirai Gen]

Let's try and avoid more pee euphemisms, okay? I think that was what derailed the last topic about this subject. And it's kind of creepy.

More on par, though - Try going through a name website of sorts and just browse around. If you're anything like me (writer, I mean, I don't even have a kid yet), you get to/come up with a name where you just go, "OH! THAT! That's perfect!"

I still like Alexander for a boy, though. I always liked that name.

[greed]

Congratulations
Try not to traumatize it too much... or too little, they need a little.

But if it's a boy, I get my way (supposedly). I'm leaning heavily toward something normal, like Alucard.


Contrary to other opinions I like Alucard as a name. And if he doesn't like it he could always go by Al, like almost everyone who's name begins with that or he could go with Luc/Luke. Plus Alu seems like a really cute baby name.

Just make sure to keep up a tan mate.

[musicalmechanic]

You DO realize you could name the kid Phillip James Fry, right?

But I'd rather torture the little bastard by giving him my name, which is worlds more difficult to pronounce. +1 for Futurama references though.

It's Quiles if anyone is curious. Everyone mangles it.

The way I see it is that if I had to deal with teachers making me look like a fool for 25 years (hey, I'm still in college, so this is legit), then there's no reason I can't pass on the pain.

It's the least I can do.

Remind me to never ask you or your wife advice on naming a child.

Y'know, one of these days I'll have to ask her where she got Tuesday Ann. As far as Lennith goes, we can blame Valkyrie Profile for PSP.

Contrary to other opinions I like Alucard as a name. And if he doesn't like it he could always go by Al, like almost everyone who's name begins with that or he could go with Luc/Luke. Plus Alu seems like a really cute baby name.

I'm just dying for the day when I go into class for some Parent-Teacher conference, and the teacher gets up the nerve to ask me where his name came from.

"Don't suppose your a big fan of playstation, are ya??"

[Satan's Onion]

So this is the thread where we give you unsolicited, probably useless, and possibly dangerous parenting advice? 'Cos if it is, I'm just bursting with things I heard are good ideas!

Like reading to the kid: Start now, if not sooner. Couldn't hurt; my mother began to read to me in utero and didn't stop (except obviously for the C-section). And I turned out perfectly normally! Stuff appropriate for their age, stuff you figure is a bit over the kid's head, stuff that's probably waaay out of their league--read it all. And lots and lots of music, from all sorts of different genres (not just that classical stuff; some of my earliest memories are of MTV music videos, back when that channel actually featured music). It's getting the brain to work hard from early on that's the point.

I'm a helper! ^_^

[Mirai Gen]

Look, I get what you're saying, the name by itself is pretty neat, but honestly, how is having your name as Dracula reversed not going to completely fuck this kid up?

If you're lucky he'll just settle for drinking blood and playing Dungeons and Dragons, and always insisting on playing a vampire. That's if you're lucky.

Honestly, just a few letter swaps in Alucard (like Alcard for example, or Aluca) and you would have a 99%* chance of having a normal kid.

*Rounded down.

[Dino_Hunter]

'm leaning heavily toward something normal, like Alucard.
Man, that kids going to get beat up.

[Mauve Mage]

I've always liked the name Sophie or Sophia for a girl.

Oh! And before I forget...
http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/kids/59cc/
http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/kids/83b6/
I think this is appropriate, all things considering.

[musicalmechanic]

Look, I get what you're saying, the name by itself is pretty neat, but honestly, how is having your name as Dracula reversed not going to completely fuck this kid up?

Seriously, how many people would even realize that was the case? Really, I'd think that only people that have played SOTN would realize it. And they're nerdy enough to think it's cool.

Besides, my wife and I are complete opposites. The kids screwed either way.

Man, that kids going to get beat up.

Bah, least he won't have MY nickname back in school.

Y'see, my dad's nickname was Pete. So, some moron thought it would be cute if they took my dad's name and modified it a little bit. Pete Jr....P.J.

No one took in account that kids aren't the nicest bastards around.

Peanut Butter and Jelly
Pickle Juice
Pajamas
and so much worse....

Kid'll have it easy I say!

(BTW, the moron was my dad)

[neyo the king]

You know, the title of this post is misleading. When it said, "RaiRai and Shiney are Pregnant!", I thought that, you know, Shiney was pregnant, as well... Oh well.

Congrats with teh little 'un, you two. May you have happiness and blah blah blah where's the cake?

[Mirai Gen]

Seriously, how many people would even realize that was the case? Really, I'd think that only people that have played SOTN would realize it. And they're nerdy enough to think it's cool.
This is coming from the guy who was named PJ because his dad's name is the same as his which would name him Pete Jr, which has the initials.

I mean, really, kids will find ways to abuse your name. And if they can't, then they'll make up new ways to insult you. Honestly, spelling Dracula backwards is just begging for schoolyard abuse.

Also: I'm guessing in like six months or so, this topic's going to get changed to "ARE PARENTS".

[musicalmechanic]

The sad thing is that I still talk to my wife about sending him to school with a sweet red cape or something.

Yah, maybe I shouldn't have kids...

[RaiRai]

Hey guys, how about we keep the cosplaying your kids fetishes to another thread, ney? =P

[Bells]

Shiney is A+.

HA! the irony...



But seriously, congrats! My sister has a 3 year old son so i can say a couple of things... its easy to spoil them, but its also easy to teach them... my sister is a vegetarian, buddhist teacher, her husband is sami-veggie (he dosent eat meat in the house, only outisde) also Budhist, also a teacher (actually the principal on a school)

So now the kid simply dosent like meat (even though he tried) and is as polite as ever... sure i'll screw him up soon enough as a good uncle as i am, but serves to show'ya... those first years/months can be really big if you gather info now and get ahead on the game...

You know... giving the kid good habits now so you have less bad habits to fix later on

Ow! And the biggest enemies on a children habits is everyone else who isnt the parents...

[QueenQeeko]

It's wonderful to hear that you guys are expecting, Rai. Many congratulations to the both of you.

[Loyal]

Has it been two years already? Wow. And now you guys are gonna have a kid and everything.

I wish nothing but the best of luck for both of you, in whatever endeavors you should undertake (Except maybe that whole "World Domination" thing--I can't imagine managing a planet would work well with a Baby on Board).

[RaiRai]

Yeah, we weren't exactly planning a pregnancy. Thought it might be nice, but we'd only just moved to the States when I conceived and we were kind've in a difficult situation with money. So yeah. Donations of baby clothes appreciate it. Life on a shoestring ahoy.

[Bells]

Did you guys setup a thread here in the forums or a Paypal account were people can reach you to help? it might be usefull

[RaiRai]

Actually, I've recently set up a paypal account, just didn't know if it was appropriate to put it anywhere on the site. Wanted to speak to Brian about it first. I was going to add it to a friends only journal post on Livejournal, but that poses problems for the lurkers. xD

[Death by Stabbing]

Congradualtions
Ok here's a name that the kid's contemperaries won't be able to make fun of: Shrainy...See it's inventive, androgynus, catchy, and combines the names of the online personalities that you guys are...I'm also a helper

Or you could just go with Brian...that's a good boy's name

Rhiney works too. :p Or you could name him Craig...I'm not really sure as to why I'm keen to that name.

But regardless, congratulations to the both of you. I am sure it will be a beautiful baby that will grow up to be a well-raised adult....to some extent. :p

[Meister]

Or you could just go with Brian...that's a good boy's name
Well, there's a good chance the child wouldn't exist if not for Brian Clevinger, his comic and his forum, so it's your duty to name him Brian! Hell, it's your duty to name her Brian, too!

[Tyrazial]

Well, there's a good chance the child wouldn't exist if not for Brian Clevinger, his comic and his forum, so it's your duty to name him Brian! Hell, it's your duty to name her Brian, too!


"Mommy, why am I called Brian?"

"Cause someone decided to make a living making comics based on a very very old game and that's how mommy met daddy."

[Bells]

Well, there's a good chance the child wouldn't exist if not for Brian Clevinger, his comic and his forum, so it's your duty to name him Brian! Hell, it's your duty to name her Brian, too!

Or just let Brian pick the name... but then the Kid would be called Onion Kid or "The Amazing Mac'awesomepants" ... or some crazy stuff like that

[Kerensky287]

Or just let Brian pick the name... but then the Kid would be called Onion Kid or "The Amazing Mac'awesomepants" ... or some crazy stuff like that


What I wouldn't give to be called The Amazing Mac'Awesomepants... :D

I throw my vote in for naming the baby at birth. It worked for my brother and I...

EDIT: Meaning, of course, that our parents named us at the last minute, throwing away other names because they didn't fit. Get your heads out of the gutters, people!

[Noodlesis]

Well, you could always make it's name by taking the first letter of each name of the Icons on your desktop, and randomizing the order, such as Rwuitwbnspswdlmsfwmdppnpmr! That is THE only way to name the spawn of sataSHINEY.

[Long-Haired Narcissist]

You could make the name by taking your own names and using Brian's reasoning of name shortening (the Dick Method).

Personally though I've always liked Katie and Levi as baby names.

[peachypeach]

Congrats guys!

How long do you have to go now?

I have a 7 year old and 4 month old daughter so like feel free to PM me if you ever need advice or anything.

The best advice I can give you is get sleep now, cause your not gonna be getting so much once the litte one gets here, and make the most of it when they are a baby they grow up way to quick.

As for names, I can't really help much there, took us ages to think of names for ours and we only finally decided in like the last couple of weeks, trust me when he or she gets here you'll know a name that suits.

Anyways, just thought I'd come say well done. ^^

[RaiRai]

I'm about 3 months along now. Morning sickness still plagues me.

[Mauve Mage]

Hell, it's your duty to name her Brian, too! Call her Brianna. Problem solved.

[Great Cartoonist]

Or Clevi. Use whatever spelling you wish.

[peachypeach]

Oh man, morning.....or as I like to call it ALL DAY sickness, just sucks. Honestly, men are so lucky they never have to experience this.

Well hope it goes away soon, it does eventually if you are lucky.

Take care ^^

[The_Phat_G]

Man, I've been out of the loop for way too long. Congrats you guys!

[Dragonsbane]

Congratulations, although the title seems to imply that Shiney is pregnant too. I chuckled much at this, then felt violently sickened at the thought. May your child be born in the blood-red light of Argol, with the shrieks of the Sarnak birds to be his first lullaby, and may the howlings of Nyarlathotep the Crawling Chaos herald his entrance into the doomed world.

[Mirai Gen]

May the God-Emperor (or Horus if you prefer) bless your child with the strength of Space Marines everywhere.

Man now I gotta write down a Tau based one for when Brian has a kid.

[Pixie]

Congratulations, you two!

I'm sure you already know most of this, but the first thing you need to do is show them love. Kiss their foreheads a lot and give them physical attention. Also, you can never sing or tell them stories enough. It incites creativity, even in a newborn and helps them later in life. My parents say I always loved when my mom played the keyboard and sang or my dad played the guitar.

My boyfriend's step-mom currently has two on the way (due in about a week), so I might have some more advice for you after the fact. I'm going to be over there all the time helping take care of them (twin girls, wee).

Good luck with everything!

[Fifthfiend]

Did I ever say congratulations? I didn't, did I?

Man, I'm a jerk.

Congratulations, you guys.

[TheDarkmage]

I know I'm late and all,seeing as I just joined but I congratulate you anywayl

[FenrisWolf]

Man, I'm a jerk.
Well, yeah.

Anyway, congratulations! May your child be rich!

[42PETUNIAS]

Wow, yeah I haven't given my congragulations either... Did I miss the baby?

[Doppler12]

Woo, congrats Shiney.
... and RaiRai?

I'm such a Shiney.

[RaiRai]

Anyway, congratulations! May your child be rich!

As long as that isn't rich in zeny, I think we'd like that too.

=B

[Fifthfiend]

The child's fate as an MORPG junkie is basically written in stone.

[Mirai Gen]

The kid's got Rai Rai's blood, so I should hope so.

I just can't wait until he rolls his first priest.

[RaiRai]

I just can't wait until he rolls his first priest.

Or druid. Depending on which game you've got yourself hopelessly addicted to...

>.>

[Mirai Gen]

Actually, wait, he's got Shiney's blood too.

That kid's going to be a warrior, with decked-out Fury spec.

I mean, it only makes sense, right?

[RaiRai]

You'd be surprised. Shiney rolled a shaman. And I've got a warlock.

Times be a changin'.

[Mirai Gen]

That, and he never posts anymore.

I mean, just when you think you've got someone figured out, they go and stop posting at the forum they practically run.

HINT HINT

But more on topic, again, congratulations you guys.

[RaiRai]

I wish I knew what you were hinting toward, but honestly, I don't have a damn clue.

=B

[Osterbaum]

You lie!

or do you?!

Yeah, you're propably lying.

And hey I've allready said it, but congrats again anyways!

[RaiRai]

Actually, no. I really don't have a damn clue what he's on about. =D

[Osterbaum]

Oh really?

Well then, I don't acutally speak english then. The truth is, I don't even know what english is.

[42PETUNIAS]

Actually, no. I really don't have a damn clue what he's on about. =D
The people people who practically run the forum are you and Shiney, and the "stop posting" part is about how you two never post anymore.

I mean, duh.

[RaiRai]

Well, that's hardly true considering my post count. And Shiney works and posts his ass off in the evening to catch up with everything. So I wasn't thinking it was this forum.

[Seil]

Can we assume there's going to be a new administrator in the RO Universe soon?

That'd be a bit... actually, I have no idea what that'd be like. (>>)

[RaiRai]

It'd be full of goo's and ga's, no doubt.

[Death by Stabbing]

Or maybe something like: egvrekepoWAUI'OEB;UGLZDdegjun;.erfliukjj.refrzsnj4 09dbxkssr/;oQ'PSFK;OER;OIARDOZD?DTYLK;DFl;k/dffl;kjIDFNOFGK/ksierol/esr\erp[ero

*drool*
*poop*

But seriously congradulations
A new life in this world is a bright and happy occorence that shall no doubt bring you both joy and excitement.
I'm sure you'll be good parents since you've been parenting us here in the fourms for so many years XD
And you also give us presents like RaiRO.
Once again congradulations
DBS

[RaiRai]

I think it'd be time for people to give US presents like not on RaiRO.

Baby items and cheesecake welcome.

[Seil]

....Baby items? Is this a boy or a girl we're talking about? I'd hate to mail you guys baby clothes and have them returned because they're for the wrong gender... or covered in melting cheescake... ( >>; )

[RaiRai]

I have a checkup next Friday. No guarantee that I'll have a scan and find out, though. >.<

[Mirai Gen]

I wish I knew what you were hinting toward, but honestly, I don't have a damn clue.

=B
You and Shiney are pretty scarce these days for actually posting. You're here a bit more than he is recently, though.

I'm not bent out of shape about it, you've got priorities and all, but I was just trying to knock a quick joke.

I mean, remember when you made a quick comment on a thread, and Fifth is all "RaiRai's posting on this forum again! NO WAI!"

[RaiRai]

XD Well, I have plenty of time to do nothing considering my Greencard application is taking forever.

[Tyrazial]

just work in a sweatshop, like all other immigrants...

>.>

[RaiRai]

IT'S A BOY.

I now have one week of bedrest. Send cookies and fruit.

[Mirai Gen]

Enjoy that rest. God knows how much you'll miss it.

Congratulations again, both of you.

[Mac]

Congratulations RaiRai and shiney. Whatcha name him.

[Great Cartoonist]

Um, wow.
Congratulations.

[Hawk]

Congratulations RaiRai and shiney. Whatcha name him.

Please don't say Damien. Please don't say Damien. Please don't say Damien.

I kid of course. Congrats guys. And kiss goodbye to your lives, you won't have them again for at least 18 years.

[42PETUNIAS]

THE DESTROYER IS MANIFEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!1

...

Sorry, good luck with the baby.

[FenrisWolf]

Congratulations!

May the Murray baby bring much joy and maybe a little wealth to your lives!

[Mr.Bookworm]

...Congratulations?

No, I'm betting on something like "ShinyRai8324", so he can get a head start on the Internet.

EDIT:

May the Murray baby bring much joy and maybe a little wealth to your lives!

Are we thinking of the same babies here? Little poop-splattered air sirens with the switch on ON? Little leeches who suck away your money and soul?

Also, Murray?

[FenrisWolf]

Also, Murray?
The Murray baby. Born of shiney Murray and RaiRai Murray.

[Mr.Bookworm]

Ah.

...So do you stalk them or something?

[Sir Pinkleton]

Congratulations on the child, Shiney, RaiRai, have fun with him.

[FenrisWolf]

Ah.

...So do you stalk them or something?
Naw, I'm just attentive. I know their last name. It's almost as easy as finding Brian's last name, if you know where to look.

[42PETUNIAS]

Naw, I'm just attentive. I know their last name. It's almost as easy as finding Brian's last name, if you know where to look.
Yeah, like at any of Shiney's newsposts at the main page of Nuklear Power.

[Akamaz]

Gratz Shiny an RaiRai!

so when do we get to see baby pics?

[FenrisWolf]

so when do we get to see baby pics?
I'd be willing to guess when he's born.

Or maybe a prelim ultasound or something.

[Seil]

Thought you guys might get a kick outta this:

[Fifthfiend]

I'm telling you guys.

"Chainsaw"

You can't tell me every guy alive doesn't wish his parents had been cool enough to name him Chainsaw.

...Alternately, I guess Daniel sounds nice.

I've actually seen it spelled Danial, I've always thought that looked neat.

[Mirai Gen]

Gratz Shiny an RaiRai!

so when do we get to see baby pics?
This is just the ultrasound results.

Also: Week of bed rest? That sounds like good Pokemon Pearl time to me. Get crackin' Rai.

You know, someone else said the same thing to me. And Tyrazial is actually buying me a DS so I can play said games. XD I really, really don't know what else to say other than thank you so much. Never realized some of you crazies on this forum were that crazy.

The bed rest is okay. I don't mind not moving around, it's not like I did much moving around before anyway what with being sat at my desk at my computer all day. But alas, my mother in law is watching me like a hawk, so bed is where I stay! I just don't like drinking all the water they're asking me to drink. I understand why I need to do it, I just don't like it.

Fifth: My brother is called Daniel, and he'll be my only little Danny-boy. He's only 7 this year. Still a little baby to me.

Our baby is either going to be named Samuel or John. This is dependant on a few factors, but we'll know closer to the time. I think I'd get confused to have my son called John with my husband called John, though.

[Tyrazial]

MAke his middle name Jingleheimer to help keep them seperate from one another.

Well a majority of us - Myself, for example - practically watched you two fall in love from across the seas. We're all extremely happy for you and Shiney both. I'm not sure if you remember me, but I know I sure as hell remember you two back when you were just the mod of the RP forums back in the EZ Whores days.

If I didn't have such monetary problems right now I'd ship a copy of Puzzle Quest over to you pronto. I really wish I could.

[RaiRai]

Yes indeed. I remember most oldbies much more than I remember newbies. It's like a little family online for us. =)

And it's the thought that counts! I have a PS2 game, Ar Tonelico, to keep me occupied this week. Hopefully it's just one week of bed rest. Any more than that and I think I'd go crazy.

[Bobbey]

I haven't said congratulations yet, so,

CONGRATULATIONS!

and I wish you the best of luck and many happy years to come:)

Yarrrr.. berry berry few friends I know online I've gotten to know so well. I also owe both you and Shiney. Alot. :)

[RaiRai]

I should use this week to write out the story of the relationship. Someone asked me to do that recently, I can't remember who. Though most of the chat logs areon my computer. Phooey!

[LeefRyder]

Yes indeed. I remember most oldbies much more than I remember newbies. It's like a little family online for us. =)

*pop* stinky oldbies ;)

I would just like to say, Icantwaittoseecutebabyphotoes!

[Tyrazial]

you'd pop a bunch of stinky oldbies? That's just dirty and sick. and yes. Baby piccies will be awesome... You should totally call your kid Twisted Nibblets Murray

A few months ago, I had a dream that someone had a baby named Samuel. It's a pretty nice name...but if I have a boy, he'll probably be named Steven III. :p

[Kitana Paladine]

Many Congratulations to you two! My only warning to you is this:

Since you already know you are having a boy, watch out on diaper changes. Little boys have a tendency to randomly give his parents a shower.

[RaiRai]

11 weeks and counting!

We have a registry at Babies R Us for any generous NPFer's and old 8bit pals:

47041231 is the code.

<3

[Seil]

How do we pay for a vacation to Florida a month after the baby is born and you guys want sleep?

[RaiRai]

You, uh, send the money to me and I make sure Shiney never sees a penny of it. >.>

[Mike McC]

Yes indeed. I remember most oldbies much more than I remember newbies. It's like a little family online for us. =)Yeah, I can attest to that.

And hey, if i get this job I interveiwed for, I might just have to get you something off of that gift registry.

[minso123]

congrats ^^

[RaiRai]

6 weeks left.

And today, my sister went into labor with her baby. I'm going to be an auntie!

[Meister]

So is your sister!

[Osterbaum]

So am I!

Or atleast I could be. How about it? "Hey little Riney(?), I'm your finnish aunt from hell, Osterbaum."

I can see it all now.

[RaiRai]

My sister had a girl! I no longer have to worry that she is going to steal my baby name!

[Seil]

YAY! Tell her "Congratu-baby-lations!"

My apologies for the thread resurrection, but I figure the upstairs folks of the NPF might like to get in on some of this (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/showpost.php?p=626314&postcount=147).

Pics are at Shiney's lj, story at Rai's.

EDIT: Oh, right, not everyone can see the RaiRO forums. Pics (http://shiney.livejournal.com/83976.html#cutid1) and story (http://users.livejournal.com/_rairai_/).

[Mac]

Grats RaiRai, Shiney. Hope the baby is healthy.

[RickZarber]

Congrats, RaiRai! Congrats, Shiney! That's awesome news! I'm sure the little guy will be keeping you up all night before you know it!

Dawww, is that hellfire I see in those peepers?

[Mike McC]

Hey, congrats you two! Too bad some of those baby pictures are tainted by Shiney's ugly mug. HAH! Nah, I kid. Or do I?

[Seil]

Wait, wait, wait? RaiRai was pregnant?

[Regulus Tera]

My felicitations upon this historical happenstance!!! I hope you're ready for the all range parent mode now. : D

I like how junior there's like "eighteen years of these assholes? Oh man, I'm fucked."

[Mauve Mage]

Yaay! Baby! Congrats (again)! That there is one cute kid. ^_^

How much does he weigh?

[CelesJessa]

Awww. Congratulations. He's so cute ^^

I feel like I should have some sort of baby-warming gift for him.

[Mirai Gen]

Congratulations. I'm glad it finally happened for both of you. Here's to hopes he's home soon. I can't imagine how tough it must be to not have him right now.

[BlackMageGirl!]

Awww. Congratulations. He's so cute ^^

Donate monies. =D Monies always work!

[CelesJessa]

Donate monies. =D Monies always work!

I don't have paypal, so if I did give something it would either have to be given electronically or through mail and such. D= If only I could knit or something. It would be fun to make a baby blanket.

Plus I don't think I'm in a position to give lots o' monehs.

Still, congrats for the baby!

[Kitana Paladine]

Many congratulations! I am sorry to hear that your son is currently in the NICU, but if his breathing is that irregular, that is honestly the best place for him right now. I pray you will be able to take him home with you soon.

Once again, Many Congratulations!

[King_black_mage]

Congratulations on the baby. I wish you 2 the best of luck!

It's pretty important that you find out your blood type as soon as you can. If you are Rh negative, your OBGYN will probably give you a RhoGam shot so that your immune system won't mistake your unborn baby for a foreign body and attack it.

As I recall, that can't happen on the first pregnancy. I don't remember the exact reasons, but I remember looking it up one time.

[Jeneralissimo]

As I recall, that can't happen on the first pregnancy. I don't remember the exact reasons, but I remember looking it up one time.

I don't think so. My mother had this blood type, and I was her first pregnancy (unless my parents aren't telling me something). I know she was treated for it.

[BitVyper]

Also: Congratulations Shiney and Rairai. Now's your chance to put your gaming experience to use and try to min/max a real person.

Edit:Now that I've looked it up, it's usually not a factor during first pregnancies because the mother hasn't become sensitive to that Rh factor yet. It's still not a bad idea to get it checked out though, because it can happen, it's just a lot rarer the first time around.

Rh sensitization does not generally affect the health of the baby during the pregnancy in which the sensitization occurs. However, the baby of a future pregnancy is more likely to be affected if the baby's blood type is Rh-positive. Once sensitization has occurred, the baby can develop mild to severe problems (called Rh disease, hemolytic disease of the newborn, or erythroblastosis fetalis). In rare cases, if Rh sensitization is not treated, the baby may die.

Of course, any doctor worth a salt is going to make sure anything dangerous is dealt with, so I'm sure Rairai and Shiney don't need the medical expertise of us forumers. They're probably saving that for the child's cybernetic upgrades.

Edit: And now that I've read the entire thread, I see that my post is pointless anyway. Hurrah!

[Zoran]

Май ваши длинние ребенка и предварительные прошлые возможности в реальном маштабе времени людей. Как где я потерпел неудачу.

[Cloud Strife]

Congratulations to the two of you! Hope your little bundle of joy ends up being just that. ^^

[shiney]

Zoran what the hells did that say :B

[Zoran]

Май ваши длинние ребенка и предварительные прошлые возможности в реальном маштабе времени людей. Как где я потерпел неудачу.

May your child prosper and gain all possibilities in human capabilities. As where I failed.

Enjoy your hellspawn.....

Durr, Zoran, Thats not a coherent sentance at all.

Shtob vash rebyonak protsvetal i poluchil vse vosmoshnosti otkritii cheloveku.

Thats the first sentance. I wish it for your child also.

Congrats *hands Shiney and RaiRai digital cigars* and if you don't smoke, hey digital kindling.

[Archibald]

I totally didn't understand that one. Or maybe the first word. If it is what I think it is, I propose a temporary ban.

Sorry wrong word.

Congratulations!
I hope you'll be able to bear with him during adolescence.

[Crodevillian Team]

At any rate, Zoran, though I'm sure you meant well, please stop posting things in babelfish-ed Russian (or any language) that absolutely no one (native, scholar, or hobbyist) can understand, unless you're going to provide a translation as well. It's really quite rude. Additionally, there's absolutely no need to spam/attempt to derail this thread. Please show some respect.

Shiney, RaiRai; congratulations!

[Karenaide]

Congratulations!

[neyo the king]

...I feel so... late. I completely forgot about this!

If only I wasn't on hiatus at this time!

Anyway, sorry to necro-post, but any new going-ons in the land of baby?

First walks? Talks?

I need more pics!

Oh, also, congrats, even though it's really, really, late.

[Mr.Bookworm]

So...

Because I have no idea where I would find out about this, how's the kiddo doing?

He's what, 3 months old by now?

[Moogleking]

Name it Red Mage.

Please, for the love of god.

[42PETUNIAS]

*cough*Almosttwoyearsago*cough*

[Mr.Bookworm]

Speaking of which, how is he doing?

Does RaiRai have a blog, or something?

[Seil]

Rai has an LG and a blog and stuff. Just check out her sig. (I think it's in her sig)
