Mrs. Rockbottom = expecting

Congratulations.

May I suggest Rock Leinart as a suitable name if it's a boy?

 

I doubt I will be released from fatherhood in time for St. Louis, sadly. Y'all will just have to live without my reporting. Hopefully someone else will pick it up and deliver ME some APSEs as a new baby gift!

Me neither, Ides, me neither.

 

Congrats!

Yours?

 

Say adios to sleep! And just a word of advice: When Mrs. Rock hints at a food that sounds good, don't fuck around - go get it for her or she'll be one pissed off pregnant woman.

 

Congratulations!

The part about the food is true . . . Mrs. OTD developed a thing for pineapple-coconut juice. One time I wheeled up to the register with 8 jugs of it. Since my kid was born, she hasn't touched the stuff.

If you remember how can learn to type one-handed, you can feed RB jr. at 2 a.m. while posting on SportsJournalists.com!

 

Beautiful news, Rock. Congrats!

Keep in mind the following: the 9-18-month age is one of the coolest periods you'll ever experience (they're sleeping through the night, starting to walk and generally a blast to be around), the terrible threes may be worse than the terrible twos and that stray animals should be kept away from morning-sickness inflicted wives, lest they get decorated by the projectile vomiting that may ensue.

Also, work on making sure your offspring is comfortable with a 5-iron in their hands. There's always the chance you can be one of the few non-member father/offspring duos to play Augusta National.

 

Congrats -- it's the toughest job that you'll ever love. If Mrs. Rock doesn't wake you up every 10 minutes to use the bathroom, use this time to sleep.

And I concur with Ballscribe -- my daughter is 14 months old and each day is more fun than the last. Except for the 6 hour flight to and from LA last week.

 

Congrats!

You'll never sleep again!

 

Great news on the chip off the rockbottom!

 

I just hope my unborn child is half the human that Ryan Sonner is!

Congrats.

Be extra nice to your wife the next seven months (and afterward, of course).

Get on the good side with your mother-in-law, if you're not already friends. She can be unbelievably helpful in raising a child.

Learn to say no to your child when he/she is very young.

Then you'll be able to say yes a lot more frequently as he/she grows up.

Don't sit back; be involved, and enjoy the ride! Greatest thing you'll ever do.
