Congrationaltion!!!
Ayende@ayende.com (Ayende Rahien)
Congratulations! I've got 3 kiddos now, so I would suggest you better rest up before he/she gets here.
Congratulations!
Of course you'll have to get one of these.

Congrats! Get some rest, you'll need it.
And prepare to barricade yourself against good advice. Everyone will have some. It will conflict. Make up your own minds.

I've been reading Freakonomics on the way back from TechEd, and the last chapter is very useful for us young parents. It basically says that once you decide to buy a parenting book, it's already too late. The fate of your children depends much more in who you are than in what you do ;).

Congrats Scott. That's awesome. I have two, including one that's 2 months (a hospital visit for her almost kept me from Tech Ed), and I wouldn't trade them for anything.
You'll have fun, but you'll also lose a lot of sleep. I learned very fast how much I could do on 4-5 hours of sleep a night!

oh dear.. What is that?? A rabbit? j/k
Congrats Scott, and going by the size of the protrusion on the left, it looks like a BIG boy. :-p

Hi, Congrats Scott. Good Job. You will find it is full of enjoyment. I have one month and half daughter, and am enjoying being a father.
Congrats!! I'm so happy for you two! May it bring you the happiness that my two bring me.
Congrats! That's great.
So this is some kind of new .NET server control or have you finally ventured into the game world and this is your new PSP offering. I have to tell you I don't quite get the idea behind the game but maybe it's like Katamari Damacy so you just get used to the interface once you get into it.
Still, it looks interesting and look forward to version 1.0!

Congrats! As a proud father of 2-months old baby I know what you feel!
I heard those things called babies do not let you out of debug mode for years. And they don't have the Locals or Watch windows..mmm scary ... :) Congrats!
Congratulations! Ours is now seven months old. For some very creepy sonogram pictures, check her out when she was about negative six months here:

Nice preview! Please keep posting screenshots. What is the expected release date?
Congratulations!
I concur with Mike Gunderloy's thoughts: Take all advice with a grain of salt, mull it all over, and do what you think is best for your child, who straight from the womb will be an individual in ways you cannot yet imagine.
Oh, and do get some rest!

Congratulations man. That's great news. You must be really excited. You'll have many sleep deprived nights, but it's all worth it and you'll realize how boring life was without a child.
It's pretty scary stuff, IMHO. The idea that I would be put in charge of another human life is humbling. I mean, are licensed to drive. Heck, we even try to pass MCSD tests...
Thanks for all the kind words everyone!

Scott, Best wishes! It's simply the most rewarding job in your life! My little guy is going to be 2 on July 10th. and I would not trade the experience for anything in the world!
Congratulations to you and your wife (I take you didn't do it all by yourself). Yes, it's very scary stuff to be in charge of another human life (I have a girl and a boy), but I'm sure you'll do fine. Just give him/her lots of love and attention and you'll see.
Wow. Late nights will be redefined! Congrats. I have two daughters, and can not imagine life without them. Best wishes!
Wow! Great news. Don't worry about the whole "being in charge" thing, that only lasts about 2 weeks. After that, they are most definitely in charge of you! :-)
Enjoy...
Enjoy...

True story:
When my son was born (my firstborn) I had no idea how I would handle it all. As I carried him from the delivery room to the post-delivery room, he stopped crying, opened his eyes, looked up at me, and that was it. I was a Dad and never even thought about the "how" of it again, and it hardly bothered me how scary it all was...

Stevenson said it best:
"That man is successful who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much, who has gained the respect of the intelligent men and the love of children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who leaves the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had." --- Robert Louis Stevenson
Enjoy one of the best phases of your life. Fatherhood!

Congrats Scott! When's it due? We're having one in a few months. We just went out and bought our first batch of diapers and it's getting anxious! :)
Congratulations Scott!
I guessed what the big news was when you told me in an IM session that you were planning on developing a baby monitor for Microsoft Media Center.
Best Wishes,
Gerald
