Happy and Joyous thing in the doctor's office
I just read through Elysia's post and figured it would be a nice counterpoint to post some good news. If anyone recalls, my wife and I have been working on kids for the past two years to a few disappointments. Finally, she's 11 weeks along and the doctor is extremely optimistic that this will stick. There is a strong heartbeat and our previous ultrasound about two weeks ago showed that everything was developing as it should.
In a nutshell, my wife is pregnant and everything seems to be going just great. We've finally gotten to a point that we're telling our friends and letting our families know they can start spreading the word. My wife is starting to get optimistic and is about ready to start planning for having a child in the house. We even have names picked out - if it's a boy we'll name him Chewebacca, and if it's a girl then we'll name her Chewebecca.
This also means that my mother can start putting together tons of kids books. My older brother and his wife will no longer have to have their children spoiled by grandma exclusively. The only bad news is that my younger brother will probably start getting pressured to get married and have kids now, or at least sire some bastards.

Obviously, after I posted this my wife started bleeding a ton. We went into the ER last night and found out that the bleed she's had has gotten larger, but not too much that it concerned the doctors. We're not out of the woods yet, but the ultrasound was pretty cool. The baby was moving around and has arms and legs, a significant upgrade over the blob we saw only two weeks ago.

Chewbacca or Chewbecca? Don't do that to the poor thing. Parents need to adhere to this rule, your child should have a name that suits them but will not make their childhood unnecessarily difficult through ridicule or mispronunciation.
Illustrations: Naming a boy a traditionally female name, or one that has become more associated with females(Ashlie for example). Making up a name to be different(sh*thead pronounced shu-thE-ad but will be read like it sounds: and YES I have seen this name). Naming a child after a pop culture icon or reference. It gives the kid an unoriginal name, and makes the parents look like idiots(Naming kids after movie characters, band members, actors).
My world history teacher at college told us about a Brazilian exchange student he had once. His name was Aswipe (pronounced ahh-swee-pay).

You should name him Walker Texas Ranger and if it's a girl Dr Quinn Medicine Woman
I'm willing to bet he was kidding when he put forth Chewbacca as a valid name choice.

Very much so. I've been bugging my wife with awful names for the past couple of years, mostly in the Star Wars vein. However, when my older brother and his wife had their daughter and named her Lisa, I started up with Simpsons names.
I was not kidding when I suggested that we save on babysitting fees by putting our children in the dog cage.

I tried to sell my wife on Mnemosyne. She didn't bite.
We thought about the cage thing, but these folks beat us to it, and let us know it was a bad idea. Although I still think it was a problem of scale, not of practice.
Hope everything is alright mums.
How wonderful! Congratulations to you both. I hope the pregnancy is uneventful and the birth is easy
