Guess what guys! I'm having a baby!
Well not literally but I'm going to be a dad non the less. It's the reason why I've dissapeared for that last couple of weeks. So, don't expect to see much of my face around as usual but i'll still pop in and out enough to keep on top of current affairs.
So, what do you guys think of that!?

Congratulations Gallant, I wish nothing but happiness for you and your family. Do you know if it is a boy or girl yet?

Kind of a odd place to make an announcement like that. Maybe you could have made a thread for that?
Also, kind of strange when people congratulate people who are going to have a baby with something like "well done" Like there is something noble and difficult in the act of impregnation.  Well if that is what it takes to be a hero of sorts, sign me up!  J/K, I would probably die if I had a kid (not literally! )

Congrats, Gallant! This is excellent news to start off the spring season!  How about an interview for the Gossip section of the IFQ?

I was serious about this being dramatically off topic too. Perhaps a mod could split off this announcement and the congratulations into its own thread? It seems it really deserves it's own thread anyway.

Congrats Gallant!
However, like Purple, I am confused as to why you did not post your own thread about this. It's definitely thread-worthy.

When you're over the moon about such things the world is awhirlin' and you don't care how or where you announce it. If you've been there you'll understand.
I'll split it out if Gallant is okay with it. (I'm sure he will be.)

I thought I did make my own thread. Yes, split it off, I didn't mean for it to end up here, it's kind of confusing me.
TP, if you made kids like I do then you might undestand. *pew pew*

Something very strange about CF needing permission from Gallant to do her job, I just can't put my finger on it...

I think you missed the question in your excitement, but Reiso asked if you knew whether your baby is a boy or girl.
I, too, wish to know!

| ehem. Well I thought it be good to tell you guys that, it's not 'n secret of my friend's pregnancy , unfortunatly each time I try and visit her I miss her when trying to catch her somewhere in town. Plus I don't know who the father is. But I thought that you'd be happy to know that she was happy to tell me about her little girl on the way.

Cheers everyone, fancy sending me some money?
I can deal without sleep Smee. Anyway, whilst I'm here I'll take the opportunity to apologise for my absence in both my SG's and the Mafia game I was participating in. You already know the reasons.

*raises eyebrow*
Are you being sexist Snow Tiger?
I'm sure Gallant will be equally happy be it a boy or a girl. (Although Boy would be better (Yay Hypocrisy!))
But seriously, the wonder of life is amazing.

Yeah, but baby boys pee upwards, whilst baby girls are less.. you know... excited about that. Apparently. I don't have sprogs yet.

And if you did they'd just be fluffy little kittens, right?
I never really put consideration into how babies pee, but I suppose you have a point.

SW00T ! -does a small dance- Congratulations there Gallant ! to that. Bet you'll make a great father.  Any name ideas right now, I mean, you know, one for either gender -if you don't know that is? Or is that going to be up to the mother? I'm sixteen and I already have a list of names
For me it would be:
Boy: Lazarus
Malachai
James
Kellan
Girl: Rebecca
Arabella
Centa
Melony
Most are strange but I like them.

Thanks again you lot, but I don't think I'll be participating much in the selection of names. 
Though I do like the ring of Malachai.
