[Don Corleone]

Well, my wife came to meet me for lunch yesterday, and I learned that she bought Jillian a new shirt.

Congrats Don! :medievalcheers:

The Family grows...

[doc_bean]

That was her way of telling you ? :laugh4:

Good luck man :2thumbsup:

[drone]

And may your second child be a masculine child. ~D

Congrats! :balloon2:

[Ser Clegane]

Congrats, Don :2thumbsup:

I like your wife's approach :laugh4:

[Don Corleone]

Thank you, thank you. God surely has blessed my wife and I. We're very excited, especially since we both were caught by surprise.

[Andres]

Another Corleone ~:pimp:

Congrats Don :2thumbsup:

[HoreTore]

Thank you, thank you. God surely has blessed my wife and I. We're very excited, especially since we both were caught by surprise.

Well... Surely, you can't be that surprised...?

I mean.... you know what you've been doing....and you knew what that might turn into....

[Don Corleone]

Well, let's just say we were playing Roman Roulette and our number came up. It's not that we weren't 'ready' for this outcome, and we're very happy about it. It's just weren't 'trying', like we were with Jillian. Based on how long it took for Jillian to come along, I was actually very (pleasantly) surprised.

[Geoffrey S]

Congratulations to both you and Mrs. Corleone! :balloon2:

[Tamur]

Ha, great way to share the news, your wife has. Congrats! Now, you know that part of the Multi-Child Parenthood Pledge is alternating the gender of your children, so that you have to buy entirely new wardrobes. Right?

[seireikhaan]

:laugh4: I think I'd have had a small heart attack if I was in your position, Don. Rather, uh, interesting way of communicating it, your wife did. Congrats!

[Husar]

Oh, I didn't get it at first.:oops:

Well, congratulations to you and your wife and may Jillian be a good big sister.:2thumbsup:

[Proletariat]

Cute way to deliver the news. Very happy for you and your family, Don! Boy, Jillian's growing up fast, too.

:2thumbsup:

[Gregoshi]

Congratulations Don. Your wife does have style. :thumbsup:

You'll have to help Jillian build an add-on to her plastic estate. :laugh4:

[CrossLOPER]

Interesting approach. Congrats!

[Banquo's Ghost]

Wonderful news Don! Congratulations.

Mrs Corleone is a subtle woman. You will now be reading every item of clothing for clues.

:2thumbsup:

[Blodrast]

Bonus points to your wife for coolness! :2thumbsup:
Congratulations to both of you, Don, and Jillian has grown up quite a bit indeed!
Great news, good stuff!

[Odin]

Good deal Don, congrats

:thumbsup:

[Kralizec]

Hehe, congrats!

Let's hope it's a male heir to succeed you as Don one day ~;)

[Kagemusha]

Congratulations Don!~:cheers: The Corleone mob seems to be getting bigger and bigger.Maybe its time to challenge the Lemurs in taking over the world?:clown:

[Csargo]

Congrats! :2thumbsup:

[Dutch_guy]

Congratulations Don, and congratulations to Mrs. Corleone as well !

:balloon2:

[Don Corleone]

Thank you everyone. And Drone, yeah, I got punched in the stomach by my beloved yesterday for saying, in my best Bill Cosby voice "Well, let's make sure the doctor doesn't slap the stem off the apple this time...".

Seriously? I'm really on the fence. A matched set or bookends is just fine by me. Healthy and happy, that's all I'm hoping for. Oh, I forgot the Jillian blessing... and that this one two favors his/her mama. :laugh4:

Jillian says she doesn't care if its a boy or girl either. Just so long as they're quiet and can take orders well.

[Lemur]

That's a clever wife you got there, Don. A keeper.

Congrats congrats congrats! I know what you mean about gender -- when your wife is all knocked up, all you can think about is "Healthy, please be healthy, please be healthy ..." I didn't really exhale until I could look at the baby for myself, and confirm that all was okay.

When you think about everything you want for your kid, male and female come way down on the list. (Please be healthy, please be smart, please be attractive, please be strong, please have a sense of humor, please be kind ...oh yeah, I guess I'd like a girl.)

[Don Corleone]

You forgot "Please vote Republican..." :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4:

[Louis VI the Fat]

It took me ages to figure it out. :dunce:

Uh...I for one welcome our Corleone overlords?

BTW, I keep receiving 'images' of this text in my head:

[Beirut]

Go Don, you uber-stack of mega-fertilizing manhood you! ~:smoking:

[Blodrast]

Assuming you'll have another girl, since Jillian is the Big Sister, that would make the newborn a Little Sister ... and you, Don, will have to get used to playing the part of a Big Daddy. ~D

[Ice]

My happiest congratulations, Don. :beam:

[Peasant Phill]

That's a way better way of telling than sticking that test under your nose.

Congratulations to the both of you.

[Mikeus Caesar]

Congratulations Don - you are truly taking the term 'spread forth and prosper' in your stride!

[InsaneApache]

hehe, that's funny.

Congrats mate. :2thumbsup:

[English assassin]

Good work Don. Best of luck....you'll be needing it. :laugh4:

[naut]

Congrats, that's the coolest manner of telling the good news ever. I hope the next 9 months treats your wife well, and the baby is born healthy and happy.

[Sigurd]

Congrats Don :balloon2:...

Let's have a little friendly wager here.
I say double trouble, another daughter on the way. :2thumbsup:

[KukriKhan]

:balloon2: Celebrate Corleone Fecundicity! :balloon2:

Bonus points to Mrs. C on her creativity (ha!).

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

Interesting approach. Congrats!

Indeed! Congrats Don!


(Sends armies off to take Sweden while he's busy :laugh4: j/k,Congrats Don)

[Martok]

Awesome, Don. A hearty congratulations to you and your (soon to be expanded) brood! ~:cheers: And your wife gets an "A" for originality in telling you the big news. :thumbsup:

[Don Corleone]

Thank you everyone. I hope Louis and others thinking pink are right. Personally, and to be honest, it has me chilled to the bone, and I cannot explain it other than a 'hunch', I'm afraid we've got one of each on the way. Well, afraid in that I'll be facing double the diapers and half the sleep. In truth, I'd be ecstatic, and it might just be wishful thinking, on the subconcious level.

Anyway, thank you everyone for your kind words. Mrs. Corleone's head is swelling faster than her tummy, and she's been reading this thread and beaming. :beam:

[Lemur]

The nice thing about another girl would be the ready ability to recycle clothes. We've got one of each, and I'm always suggesting that we put aside boy lemur's old clothes for the little girl lemur. Mrs. Lemur always gives me an evil look, and declares, "I'm only going to get one chance to dress my girl in pink."

I don't see what the problem is, though. Navy sweatpants, for instance. They're dark blue. And they're sweatpants. None of this screams "boy" at me. Why can't we put them aside for the girl again?

But one of each is kinda nice, too.

I think you can report that as a criminal offense.

Btw, I do like your new sig...But you do realize that you have to pay royalties? :whip:

Oh, the little Lemurs are adorable, big guy! And getting big too! I thought your daughter was less than a year.

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

Congratulations Don!

Another Corleone
The Corleone could rule the world.

[Crazed Rabbit]

A (belatedly, though no less heartfelt) hearty congratulations to you and yours, Don!

Lemur I don't think men are supposed to understand this sort of thing. I think we're meant to just grin and bear it. Besides it's not that big of a deal is it? And if it makes her happy then it's worth it.

You're right of course, but I try to be thrifty. When you have kids there's a million folks at a million companies who try to sell you stuff you don't need. I'm not keen on being a consumer.

But yeah, this is a battle I have no hope of winning. Take tank tops. The boy had a bunch of tank tops, and I wasn't allowed to save any of them. Then, when summer began, we bought a few tanks tops for the little girl. One of them is black. How is that particularly girly? Why couldn't I save one of the boy's gray tank tops?

Such things passeth all human understanding. I guess my job is just to pay for stuff and smile.

-edit-

Don C, little Morgan was born on May 1st, so she's well over a year now. Maxwell is just about to turn four.

[Productivity]

Congratulations Don.

[Franconicus]

Congratulation, Don! The corleone family is growing!! Well done!

There is only one thing better than having a child - having two of them!!!~:cheers:
