Congrats!!! First one or what? God has blessed me with three little boogers over a short time. I'm finally really enjoying this last one. I hope you enjoy your little booger too!

That's fantastic Oliver!! As I type this one-handed, I have my 8 month old Daniel reaching for the keyboard trying to add his 2 cents worth :-)

Hey, when David@excite says he'll pray for you and stick with it 'til the baby's here. Add my prayers to the growing list.

Thank you everyone 8-) Yes this is my first child. We'll be having the second scan very soon to see if it's an Arthur or a Marther 8-) I don't mind either way. I just find it such a wonderful reminder of the awesome creative power of our God.

congradulations dude!

have you thought of a name already:p?

-- sdqa (sdqa@sdqa.com), January 20, 2005.

Rina - where I come from, a "booger" is something you pull out of your nose! This is not something with which I would want to label my child!

If it's a girl, we're thinking of either Esther, Gabriella, or Zoe. Still not sure of a boys name, but I like Joel.

-- Oliver Fischer (spicenut@excite.com), January 20, 2005.

Wow, I hope you pick Esther. That is my mother-in-law's name. It's very beautiful imo. Congrats, you are blessed!

-- Brian Crane (brian.crane@cranemills.com), January 20, 2005.

I have a very good friend named Joel. Gabriella has a nice sound to it! Your choice of course; congradulations!

-- Jim (furst@flash.net), January 20, 2005.

Zoe means "life"!!

Congrats!

Yesterday, we had another appointment with the midwife. I heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time. It was an amazing experience!

-- Oliver Fischer (spicenut@excite.com), January 26, 2005.

Oliver..I am so sorry that I missed this earlier !!!

Many MANY blessings on you all..how wonderful.

-- Lesley (martchas@hotmail.com), January 27, 2005.

Oliver, we are also expecting. We have 4 (Two are 14 year old twin girls.) and recently found out that these will also be a set of twin girls! This will give us 5 daughters and only one son, poor guy! I only have one name picked out yet and that is Victoria Clare I thought about Elizabeth Anne or Sarah Elizabeth for the second one. I haven't fully made up my mind yet. Congratulations to you both! I will pray for a healthy baby and for God to watch over both mom and baby ! God bless you and your new addition !

Thanks and glory be to God !
