Wife is :preggers:

Waited until we hit 13 weeks to let families know as a few years ago we lost our first pregnancy a couple days shy of 12 weeks (never updated that pregnancy announcement thread here if I recall). Lost another one right after (not as long term) before being lucky to have a healthy son that is now 19 months old. Had another miscarriage before this pregnancy, but hopefully we've passed the worry stage.

Kid is due at the end of January, but they won't let us go passed the 24th with how big our son was when he was born (9lb 9.5 oz - currently at 33 lb and 35 inches tall).

Kind of want it to be another boy as we've got plenty of clothes to pass down, but I've also wanted a girl. Wife thinks it may be a girl as she's craving sweets and the heartbeat is on the upper end of the normal range that supposedly indicates a girl.

We'll see though. Either we'll have another future recruit or a cheerleader.

congrats! you know what you're having?

A Boy. Technically speaking, the heir (using traditional European aristocratic or royal succession and inheritance tradition). He'll be the first boy able to carry on my family's unique name of my generation. My only set of 1st cousins have seven daughters between them.

Thanks for the well wishes everyone. We'll find out in a month or so what we're having and can then start buying/selling clothes if it's a girl or just sitting back and waiting for recruiting visits if it's a boy.

Hokie200Proof: nothing like it man! Good luck and my point of advice is to take advantage of the nursery at the hospital to get as much rest as you can before taking him home. Then don't freak out at everything.....they bounce, haha.

Excellent. We need more linemen. You can be our new Fuller family but for OL/DL

Seriously though, congrats.

Congrats to both of you guys. My youngest daughters were born about the same time apart (Lucy just turned 2 in June and Autumn will be 4 in just over month). You are gonna have your hands full Cobra...

But big brother Evan will be a big help too.

between Cobra, 200proof, and myself, we've already got 3 spots on the 2032 squad claimed, possibly 4 if Cobra's newest edition is a boy :D

I wasn't fortunate enough to have a future football player, but I got two future HighTechs. I believe my oldest (8 yrs old) should be at Tech just in time for our next home game against Florida State.
:gaah:
