I sure hope so too. Nozza, I've been wanting to go to Origins for years, I'm glad to know I made a bit of an appearance! Wow, you and your wife are a lot further down than we are. Glad you're excited as well. I can't wait till that special birth-day! Thanks Rachel! I sure hope so too.

I first saw your post on a big screen at the ORIGINS conference - Alex McManus was showing Voxtropolis and this post was the first on the list of top ten. He even made reference to it by saying 'Oh look, someone's pregnant!'. My wife is also pregnent at the moment. We have just under 3 months left to go. It is an exciting time and the scans are amazing. Actually seeing your baby's heart beating is an experience that I will never forget. We have also just starting seeing the baby move from the outside - definitely a weird thing! but very, very cool. I can't wait to be a daddy. And I can't wait to see our little future superhero!

I sure hope any possible daughters are daddy's little princess, i wouldn't know how else to treat them! But yeah, they'll definitely be equipped to hang with and take on the boys! And oh yes... travel. we've got a couple weeks in august we're trying to decide on. Yvonne'll be six/seven months pregnant though, so i'm finding deciding on somewhere adventurous AND safe quite difficult! wow, thanks for the great tips/insights!

Your wife won't know what to do with a boy any more than you know what to do with a girl. Lol. Girls are definitely Daddy's Little Princess. And they are also definitely allowed to be tomboys when they're around their Dads! If it's a girl, teach her to throw a football, ride a bike, use a tool set, and throw a punch by the time she's sixteen (But save the "throwing a punch" until she's tall enough and old enough to know where <i>not</i> to punch a guy). All women should know how to do those things. Actually there's a long list of things women should know but that'll do to start. ;-) I promise, when she's twenty five she'll thank you.

And once you see him/her you will immediately start pouring yourself into them. It really does come natural. You will each bring into parenting a bit of yourselves, a bit of your parents, and grandparents. And the very best thing to remember through it all...is out of the billions of people in the world, God looked and searched and found the two of you to be the best match for your child. I’ll add on to that…go to movies…NOW

Spend hours by yourself…NOW

My wife and I were just talking about your comment this morning. I guess I just figured since I've never been a girl, I wouldn't really know how to help shape a daughter. I imagine myself whipping a boy into shape, and loving a daughter just as she is. Is that sexist? would I be short changing one of them? That's just my hunch right now, but who knows when things really happen.... If anything I'd probably guide her like I would a boy I'm guessing. Hey Deana, that’s hilarious.

Thanks for the words of encouragement from all of you! Lu - Yeah our baby was moving around quite a bit. They're still pretty hard to make out at this stage. But just mindblowing nonetheless. Chad - get your pics up! Tony - I can tell you love being parent... I can't wait... another human to shape and mold after me. hahaha..... unless it's a girl... mixedmoss - What a miracle they are truly! We/Our planet will just have to find another way to sustain us all. Maybe if we cut back on things just a tad in north america! I recently found out I take up an ecological footprint of five Earth's if everyone lived like me. Nooc... They are little alien's aren't they? I've got lots of names floating around. I'm not sure how many my wife approves of though! maybe i'll let the vox community vote on'em! Wow, that was a great voxtropolis community response!

What joy! Just think, soon there will be a new little Vox, a new Voice in the world. Each one is a miracle. Treasure yours! In the international development field there is great talk of over-population as a threat to sustainability and population control; but I dislike that talk. I love kids; each baby is a miracle, each child a precious gift, each human soul inhabited by a divine spark. And if I had to go through the world and choose which ones to get rid of so the rest might live better lives, why, I couldn't. <i>I can't wait to meet your little miracle.</i> Congratulations!
