HaHa, Your old friend from the chilly days of Winter has found you. Congratulations and best wishes. I myself shall be much less busy soon, or more busy, as I am going to live with WiggleBug in the BadLands.
Have lost all other means of reaching you, as a holler and whistle don't seem to be working. Email me with an update of "Life in the Land of Forthcoming Doom" and tell the other half I expect the little one to be entranced nitely with tales of " Uncle Codfish, The Battle Hardened Priest and His Thousand Avoidable Deaths".
Don't worry, I raised Lizzie WiggleBug for years before the days of Winter and have nought but happy memories for it.
bye for now SeerBlue

He is going to be our first ... AND WE HAVN'T GOT A CLUE!!!!!
HOw do we raise a child when the parents happen to be weird, nerdy, dorks who spend their time playing AD&D p&p style, vedio games and comic books?
Please be as serious or as comical as you wish, I could use a good laugh on how to raise a bundle of joy.... GAMER STYLE! | First of all, all that gaming should have you well-prepared for sleep-deprivation. Next, you'll really learn the definition of multi-tasking - never do 2 things at the same time when you can do 3. Obviously, you'll have less time for games, but your little "man" will make up for it. And oh, learn to keep your drinks out of reach - trust me on this one. Throw out the baby manuals - your baby doesn't read them and neither should you. When changing diapers in the first couple of months, be sure to get things quickly under cover, so to speak - or you'll be changing more than the baby.
You said you're with the military - ignore the child developmental specialists if they're still forcing servicemembers to see them. They'll have you scared for no good reason.

If I think of more, I'll let you know! | ROFL - you and I think alike!

| My God it's good to hear from you.
Since it is hard to reach you since you enjoy living under the radar. Not sure if the phone # you gave us works anymore since you are now in transistion. Give us an update if not by airwaves or by virtual reality, then at least let us go back to the olden days of yore where paper and ink and the pony express keep families together.
As for the tales of "Uncle Codfish" those will have to wait when the little one is older.... like when his 17.
Except for "Run, Priest, Run"
Much Love
Jennabard

By the way , I've miss coming to gamebanshee.... I wonder if my Dark Flame membership has expired? | Hi Jenna! Great to see you!
In consulting the ancient DF tomes, your membership only expires if you can no longer enter a hot tub. So I think you are safe...
Congratulations on the newest member of your family! Though pediatrics is not my speciality, we did just publish a book entitled, "Naturopathic Pediatric Essentials." If you are interested, PM me and I will see what we can do about getting you a copy. 
I missed you very much in DF. I always loved your character and could not bear to let her disappear, so I continued to write her into our adventures. I particularly enjoyed the tryst Jennabard had with that powerful mage... hmmm.... I can't seem to remember her name right now, but the scene on the bear skin rug where they conjured the Crystal Tentacle.... erm... I mean, where they worked through some of their family of origin issues was particularly memorable.
Scayde has mentioned wanting to get some of the original authors of DF back into writing adventures. Any interest?
Again, it is so nice to see you. Hope you are doing well. *hug*

Edge Valor finally came out of the oven on Sept 28, his weight was a whopping 10 pounds and 4 ounces. (I had no idea he was going to be that big  )
been spending many sleeples nights until I finally found the time to eat , sleep, and jump on the net while he amuses himself on his bouncy chair.
Gotta go, my little monkey wants a hug

Ten pounds, wow! My second was 9 pounds, and the newborn stuff I had for my 6.5lb first born didn't fit her. I saw this as her ensuring her own wardrobe lol!
Take good care of yourself, and make sure you rest when he does
