A heartfelt thank you to all who've offered kind thoughts and prayers to me, my wife and our baby. After Little Peanut arrives, I'll be sure to post a thread announcing the latest freeper complete with pictures.

MissAmericanPie, we don't know if it's a boy or a girl because we want to be surprised when the baby is born. Actually, my wife did want to know at first but I insisted on leaving it as a surprise but since then she's come around to my way of thinking. :) While we don't have any specific names picked out yet, I've been given carte blanche of the middle name if the baby ends up being a girl. If it's a girl, I'd like the middle name to be Hope, Faith or Grace since this child definitely represents that to my wife and me. Joe (MCM)

That is too funny! We're calling ours Peanut as well. Our nickname for the first baby was Critter - which some didn't care for, but my wife and I loved. :-)

I also wanted it to be a surprise with our first child, and my wife eventually agreed that was the way to go. This time we're both in agreement that we won't find out until the birthday.

Looking forward to the picture. You picked out some good names IMO.

And a heartfelt "Thank You, MCM" for challenging us in 1998 to get off of our asses and conFRont the evil Clintoons on their own turf.

We at FRee Republic, and the DC Chapter in particular, owe you a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid.

We look forward to having you back in the FReep line with us, hale and hearty, along with Mrs.ConfettiMan and BabyConfettiMan!

FReegards and Eagles Up!

What a beautiful middle name for a girl! Praise God!!!

For what it's worth, one of my favorite students ever is named Grace.

You know you're a REAL teacher when there are some names you'd just never ever give your own child, because they carry too many bad connotations.... ;-)
