Thank you all - I will update you when I know whether we are having a little hero or heroine, probably about 3-4 weeks. :)

And I hope their first child be a masculine child.
Or at least better looking than the Eraserhead baby.

We're not real people, so the 12 week rule doesn't count.

Your wife was pregnant for 12 weeks and she didn't tell you? 8| 8|

Congrats, Corribus! :-D

May your (for now unborn) child be blessed with health, charm, intelligence, and most importantly, love. :)

And may you and your wife have the strength to see the pregnancy through...;)
