And darn it, as RJG said over on the other thread where this was announced, this deserves its own thread! Hurrah for Alex and his wife! May the child HONOUR FIRE.

I'm really happy for you, Alex.

and if it's a girl, Jazmin.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 8 September 2003 01:42 (twenty years ago) link

ned telling a child to honour fire could be construed as criminally negligent, i think.

and congrats of course.

― gabbo giftington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 8 September 2003 01:42 (twenty years ago) link

Best wishes to you and your significant other, Alex!

(Will there be an ILx baby shower?)

Many congratulations and the best of luck, Alex and Mrs. Alex!

Baby in NYC needs this

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Monday, 8 September 2003 04:10 (twenty years ago) link

Maybe Alex should hold some sort of contest or bidding war for ILXors ... and then winner gets to name the child. I'm sure this group could come-up with something appropriate and creative.

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Monday, 8 September 2003 04:11 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah, I think it should be named "Ally".

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 8 September 2003 04:12 (twenty years ago) link

*laughing* I think that works.

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Monday, 8 September 2003 04:13 (twenty years ago) link

I want to send the baby this.

'Miso in my sippy cup,
Tofu in my bowl.
Crab and avacado,
fill my California roll.'

(Yeah, I know that true sushi snobs look down upon California rolls, but hey, it's a baby!)

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Monday, 8 September 2003 04:15 (twenty years ago) link

on our way the firedances! let's all stay on our feet so in the market here we are then sing a song for sixpence.. OH oh!

Ah!hmmmm...

Welcome to the daddy club, my good fella! 'Tis a very wonderful adventure you're embarking on. I must say!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 8 September 2003 04:59 (twenty years ago) link

Congratulations! Anything your wife says in the next 9 months, agree with! Anything she wants, get her! She'll be tired and cranky and bloated and don't forget to tell her how beautiful she is. (And then stand back - if it's an uncomfortable day, she may try to hit you).

Ultimately, though, I wish you all the very best. Kids are so much fun.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 8 September 2003 05:05 (twenty years ago) link

― Texas, Biyatch! (thatgirl), Monday, 8 September 2003 06:49 (twenty years ago) link

Congratulations!

Wow... imagine a child that's been played Iron Maiden in the womb. Just... IMAGINE.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 8 September 2003 07:06 (twenty years ago) link

yay congratulations alex and yes many many back massages are in order for your beloved over the next months, along with foot and leg rubs, much tolerance for bizarre moods swings and so much joy as you see your little one grow!
its very exciting.

dads can tend to be a tad forgotten during pregnancy, all the focus turns to the 'tum'. remember you are the 'other half' to this new life, and deserve to be just as involved as your wife.
best of luck! i hope it goes well for you all :-)

Congratulations, Chris!!! Don't believe the hype, it's scary -- but not nearly as horrific as some people make it out to be (or maybe I just haven't hit that part yet). It is a life-changer though.

Thanks and kudos to you!!!!

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 13:05 (twenty years ago) link

Good thoughts for Chris! And Alex...yeah, it's unfortunate, but it might not have been as unfortunate if you didn't simultaneously look like you were recovering from a hangover, being homeless and getting two black eyes. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 13:24 (twenty years ago) link

a hangover, being homeless and getting two black eyes.

Parenthood in a nutshell.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 14:21 (twenty years ago) link

just you wait...

Really, it does my poor old heart good to see this bebe and her glowing parents. Enough to make me want another of my own.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 17:46 (twenty years ago) link

thanks. We feel reasonably prepared to actually be parents, at least as prepared as we're going to get (I have half brothers who were infants when I was in high-school and college, so changing diapers, feeding, and all that won't be new to me). It's other stuff -- work/daycare logistics, costs, etc -- that seems daunting. There have only been a couple of times so far when the enormity of it all has made start to hyperventilate :-)

There's me and Charlotte's little bum in the mirror I nearly killed myself hanging this afternoon.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 12 June 2004 00:47 (twenty years ago) link

Aw. :-)

I think that pink dress is the most feminine (as socially constructed) thing I've seen her in yet! Where's the black T-shirt for her?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 12 June 2004 01:11 (twenty years ago) link

We have lots of conventionally "feminine" outfits for her, but she only fits into a few of'em. Some wiseacre friends of mine gave her a little black t-shirt that reads "Daddy Drinks Because I Cry" (which is all too true) and a little black smock/dress with the Ramones logo on it (complete with a pair of little black socks), but neither would fit at the moment.

I'm still waiting for the ILX onezie for her to arrive.

I got the shirt in question at the lamentable new Bloomingdales in Soho (former site of....a moment of silence, please.....Canal St. Jeans). Someone gave us a 75 buck gift card, so I spent it thusly. I might rip that fuckin' alligator off of it, though. I do like the color, it must be said.
