It's a good thing that this digital image won't fade out with time, as the prints used to do not so long ago.

Congratulation to you and Karen

Jake Howlett (Mon 19 Jun 2006 05:41 AM)

Thank you ALL. I feel even happier now, if that's possible.

Patrick. I think it's a mini me rather than a mini you. Well I hope it is, unless there's something you've not told me.

In fact Minnie is on the short list of names, should it be a girl.

Jono (Mon 19 Jun 2006 05:57 AM)

Jake, the only thing I can say about children is:

Before you have them, you can't imagine your life with them. After you have them, you can't imagine your life without them.

Congratulations!

Adam

Erik (Mon 19 Jun 2006 08:36 AM)

Congratulations! There really is no more rewarding aspect of life than raising children. Please Jake, crank out those articles and demo databases now... I have the feeling that you are going to find your geek time rather limited in the near future :-)

Curt Carlson (Mon 19 Jun 2006 10:03 AM) e-mail

Just when you thought life couldn't get any better! Congratualtions Jake. Having 2 sons has been the most fulfilling part of my life.

Congratulations, Jake! Best wishes!

Our daughter Amanda is 3 1/2 and she's a complete gem. I'm sure you'll feel the same way... after you get over the sleep deprivation of the first 6 months!

Congratulations to the entire family!

It's a great time... looking forward to be the mentor of a new Domino Guru...

I know...

I have a daughter who is almost 2 and almost have a Domino blog on the web ;o) And a boy is waiting to come out in the beginning of September... he will - for certain - be introduced to Domino development and LEGO Mindstorms :o)

Jon (Tue 20 Jun 2006 07:07 AM)

Congratulations!!!

Words of advice...Take LOTS of pictures!!!

They grow up fast!!!

Also start them in a routine as soon as they are born & sleep will never be an issue for you!

I learned that after my first one.

Every night we would start about 15 minutes before time for bed in "Prepping" our other two children for the night. We would start out by talking to them & reading books while they were in their crib & then we would kiss them goodnight & walk out the door.

Yes it was hard to hear them cry, but after ten minutes they would be so tired they would fall asleep & each night that we would do that the crying became shorter & shorter until they just went to sleep. ;o)

Now they are 5, 4, & 2 and they ALL go to bed @ 8:00 pm & wake the next morning @ 7:30 am. I was a skeptic at first but now I am a FIRM Believer in routines for children!

Consistency, Stability, & Love is what every child needs.

I wish all 4 of you the very best!!!

Jake Howlett (Tue 20 Jun 2006 08:47 AM)

Once again, a massive thanks to all of you who've been nice enough to leaves comments. Means a lot to me.

Richard Hogan (Tue 20 Jun 2006 09:01 AM)

Many congratulations Jake, & to Karen also.

From experience, sleep does run the risk of being reduced (or eliminated!!), good idea to stock up now!

Ryan (Tue 20 Jun 2006 09:53 AM) website

Here's one more comment for you Jake, Congrats!

jonvon (Tue 20 Jun 2006 12:18 PM) website / e-mail

congratulations jake!!

don't waste your time sleeping, it won't help when the joyous day arrives! spend it having fun doing whatever you want instead, as often as you can get away with it! ;-)

it's a wild ride, but it sure is wonderful. cheers to you and yours.

Barry (Tue 20 Jun 2006 04:57 PM) e-mail

John Smart (Thu 22 Jun 2006 08:35 PM) website / e-mail

Wow!!!

Congrats Jake!

As for myself, unlike Ben, the first two weeks were harder than the entire pregnancy... but when your kid is sleeping in your arms, or when they learn to smile, there just isn't anything better!

Oh... I haven't seen this advice yet... I don't know what it's like over there, but if it's like the U.S., get a midwife or a dula for the birth. It makes a _huge_ difference to have someone like that in the room.

Thomas OZENNE (Thu 22 Jun 2006 11:19 PM) website / e-mail

Congratulations Jake :)

Nice posting text :o)

Vikas Bhatia (Fri 14 Jul 2006 09:56 AM)

Congratulations Jake!

Take tons of pictures coz that will give you comfort when you are really in bad mood because 'someone' starts talking about 'Rails' instead of 'Rails'. It is a fantastic feeling to be a parent [probably the best accomplishment ever]. Best of Luck!

Vikas
