I found out I am going to be a dad again. To stretch a thin budget even thinner, we will be having twins :-o

Congrats Jay. My wife and I have been trying for number two for 6 years now with zero luck.

edited to add: If you get doubles would you be willing to make a trade?

Dan, I've got identical twins which took us 7 years to have. They'll be 3 next month and I'm still trying to catch up on my sleep. Congrats, Jay, and good luck.

You think you can't afford cards now? Wait until they go to college and then get married. Still worth it!

Congratulations!

The mom definitely wants to know but none of the sonagrams have been conclusive.

Johan isn't a bad name. It's German, so that's good Denton would be a good choice for the other one.

The mom has never seen Star Wars and I suggested Leia and Anikin if it was a boy and a girl. She liked until she figured out I was feeding her Star Wars name, lol.

Many congratulations to you and your wife.

I would suggest "Bobby" for a boy and "Allison" for a girl.

No wife in the picture. I'm not married. She's not my GF either. Just a good friend. She doesn't expect anything from me beyond being a father a to the kids. I don't think my Mom is too happy that I am having a kid out of wedlock. She'll probably get over it because she only has one grandkid and never really got spend much time with him. She'll get to spend a lot more time with these two.

You are the envy of all guys (married,single,and divorced). No commitment other than the kids and the "MOM" agrees...WOW

Seeing WOW and MOM together reminded me of an old sig line of mine...WOW upside-down is MOM. MOM upside-down is what dad wants to see.

YYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH0000000!

Wow. I am so thrilled for you! Congratulations! I am smiling big about this one. Good for you. Twins. How about that. No matter whether boy(s) or girl(s), surely the names of Denton, Tyrus, Anson, Wright, Lajoie, Wagner, Walter, Addie, even Thorpe or Oakes (which I know would be favorites of yours) - any of them would make great middle names if Mom wants more mainstream first names. They all sound so distinguished as middle names. How about Alexander, Joy or Cartwright? The possibilities are endless if you want your current passion to be part of your future passions.

I couldn't be happier for you. Congratulations.

Joann

Congrats...

My twins are daughters, age 16. A joy. A pair of joys...


Friend said, the great thing about daughters is that they're never too old to crawl up in your lap, hug you, kiss you, and tell you that they love you. Sons eventually get to a size and state that you don't really want 'em doing that stuff...

Thanks to everyone. It's gonna be tough not being able to buy any cards for a long time. The mom knows about my addiction and actual understands it. She says that vintage baseball cards are perfectly acceptable baby shower gifts, but she gets to keep them to pay for their college

Maybe the Minnesota get together can be a lame manly-baby shower...or at least a reason to drink beer?

Just put my baby, Cassidy, down for her nap. They are the greatest. Hope the financial strain is straightened out and you're collecting again soon, even if you aren't they are sooooo worth it. Congratulations again and good luck.

no way. The Scion stays. It may look small from the outside, but it's like Dr Who's tardis. The amount of room on the inside is amazing. It's the first vehicle I've owned that wasn't a 2 seat sports car where I had plenty legroom and headroom for me.

I'm 6'3 250 and I've had 4 guys all roughly the same size in there with no room issues. Plenty of legroom for everyone, front and back. There just isn't a lot of cargo space you have 4 people in it, but I can live with given the gas mileage I get. Much better than that of a minivan.
