THE ONE WITH THE PREGNANCY KIT

They say that the best gift comes in small packages... and I guess they are right! We are very sorry to skip from the sequence of events. I haven't even written wedding file no.7! Yes my friends, Lany is pregnant! Life can't be any sweeter.

We really didn't expect it. Our plans to visit her relatives in Europe has to wait for a while. But we are not disappointed. Perhaps the next time that we plan to go there we can bring our baby! I can just imagine how happy Tita Helen and Uncle Dieter would be when the new guy reach German shores. Oh! And Che might have to wait a little longer to get married, for the flower girl is still going to learn how to walk. =>

We are both positive about this. We pray that the baby will be healthy. Baby names start to come into mind. And as a Catholic, we have to choose a set of godmother and godfather for the child. I have already picked a few candidates... and I know that my wife is also considering a few. We also have to chose which grandmother will come to Bahrain to assist us in the transition period. At the moment I have to take a shot at a Bahrain Drivers License. We need a car. Anybody want to donate one?

There is also the dilemma of what would the baby would look like? Will it look like me, or Lany? In Lany's opinion, it would be more likely to look like me! (Thunder and lightning roaring in the background) Lucky child! But!!! But!!! But!!! (here comes the punchline) The baby might bear the curse of stardom. Pang-showbiz ang daddy e! ;>

But enough of the jokes. The preparation for the little guy is tedious. 9 months is not even enough. I can't imagine that I waited 'till I'm 30 to have one. But no matter. I found the perfect mate to make it with.

The other thing that I'm proud of is that, now I know that I am capable of making my own baby. I have made a lot of them during my career as an embryologist, but never my own. And all these years I thought that I was impotent for having the mumps. Its a breath of fresh air knowing that I'm not shooting blanks. Hehehe!

Does anybody have suggestions for a name? If its a boy we will definitely cross out the names Potpot, Totoy, Junior, Perfecto, Bengbeng, Dingdong and Sixto. If its a girl we would never call her Nene, Rosa, Violeta, Aida, Lorna, Fe, Kringkring, Linlin, or Auring. Just for kicks we were joking of auctioning the babies name to the highest bidder. Talk about business huh?! But if you guys have a really good name hidden inside your head might as well put it in good use. Use the tagboard and let us all know. We promise that we wont ridicule you. wink-wink! (fingers crossed behind our backs). So what are you waiting for? Get your noodles working and start writing!
