I need to share my joy! (aka the Happy Thread)

[tinyJazz]

I'm going to be away for a few weeks so my attendance on the board will be a little light.

The reason we're going away for so long is we're going on what's called a babymoon before we do all the Christmas stuff. Apparently it's a thing that people do these days when they're expecting children.

My wife is Pregnant, ... with Twins!! We're so happy, excited and terrified all at the same time, we need to move, buy a pram and a new car with room for two baby seats, and that's just the start. She's at about 22 weeks this week coming and already starting to struggle.

Gosh that is exciting! Congratulations to both of you and good luck!

Sunstreaker & Sideswipe for me (& yes, I know they're not twins )

But they are twins. Check out their G1 bios.

DUDE!!!!!!!!!!! That is awesome news!!!! Congrats to you both!!!!

Congrats UM, that's great news.

Twins

Congratulations dude! excellent news!

Twinning... congrats mate

Enjoy the babymoon, and make sure that your wife gets a massage... she is going to need it

A massive congrats UltraMarginal!! You'll love it!!

Congrats to you and your wife! Apparently the wife also gets a ring when the baby (or babies) is born or so my wife convinced me when we had our first. Enjoy as much sleep as you can get now lol!

Congrats Mr UltraM, I don't know what I'd've done if our first ultrasound had showed that we were having twins, probably fainted. Ours is still in special care, no longer on any machines, saying he could be home for xmas (he's not up to birth weight yet after 10 days, but was only on glucose for the first 2.5). Still not prepared at home, but spending a fair whack of each day there.

As for the ring, I've heard that before, I know for a fact my dad gave my mum one for each kid. Don't tell my wife though !

Akky82, congrats on your new family addition, I hope everything is still going well and you're able to all be at home tomorrow for Christmas day!!

Daburu congrats mate! This is phenomenal news!

Holy Hell..... that's awesome news UM!!!!!

so happy for you buddy, you're gonna have your own little instant family!

as far as names go..... its gotta be Optimus & Megatron, yeah? lol

Congrats UM!

If you're going to have twins, surely there's better names than that.

Say: Skids and Mudflap?

I know lots of little girls and boys named Megatron..... lol

I do think however... calling a child "skids" or "mudflap" is setting them up for a fall at school age!

Pounce and Wingspan?

Sunstreaker & Sideswipe for me (& yes, I know they're not twins )

UM that is fantastic news and a heartfelt congratulations to you and your wife!

Thank you all so much for the kind wishes and positive vibes!!!! I just showed Mrs UltraMarginal and we're both truly touched.

As for names, we have figured out we need to decide on 3 pairs, two boys, two girls and a boy and a girl. just in case. I don't think I'm in for naming after pop culture Icons so I might have to give Skids and Mudflap a miss. Mrs UltraMarginal thinks that Megatron is a horrible girls name!

We've been looking at houses, since we currently live in a flat, but we've just figured out that we need to really start looking at cars, and we need to get a pram first to make sure we pick a car the pram fits in. . .

Anyway, tomorrow is Christmas, many well wishes to everyone on the board and your family and friends, may your holidays however long be enjoyable.

Twinferno and Doublecross.

Much congrats. May I suggest that you get unboxing the rest of your TF backlog before they're born, cos finding the time to do it afterwards will be quite the challenge. Also, prepare to remove the words "sleep" and "quiet" from your vocabulary.

At 0046 and 0053 Our Baby boy and Baby Girl were born this morning at only 33 weeks.

They are both doing well, only needing to have a feeding tube and be in the humidicrib environment. they will be in hospital for several weeks and we'll be there every day to see them.
Mrs UltraMarginal is also doing very well, unfortunately we don't have names yet because they weren't expected this early. We're working on it today.
