Reb’s big announcement.

Well, we've just finished telling the people who matter in real life, so its time I broached the subject here.

I'm going to be a father!

My wife's due in May, so I have plenty of time to freak out as this is our first kid.

I think one of the greatest things I've seen in my life thus far was the sonogram where we saw a heartbeat.

I won't get all philosophical about how life moves so fast and all, but wow. Just....wow.

Anyway, since I've 'known' many of you for a very long time, I figured I'd share.

Congrats, Reb!

May your first child be a masculine child.

Oh indeed. Kim (my wife) has had names picked out for some time. We're looking at "Molly" for a girl, and "Jack" for the much hoped for son.

I'd love to have a son as the firstborn...but I'm certainly not going to be too upset with a girl....just a little more cautious in the upbringing.

Name your son Skillet.

His nickname would be Skill for short. How can you beat that?

Congratulations. I hope everything continues to go well and that you soon find yourself happily covered in odd-colored poo. It will be the greatest poo you will ever come in contact with.

Congrats, it always seems like a good idea at the time.

During labor, ask her "What's the big deal?", then tack on "I did all the hard work". Trust me, it's fun :)

Congratulations indeed.

Get ready for everything to change.  And by "everything," I mean EVERYTHING.

Congrats Reb!

Remember, if you want to be set for life, steroid shots start at age 8. And teach him to be a pitcher.
