I wanted to let you all know that I'm pregnant! We just reached the end of our first trimester, so felt like it was time to spread the word. This is the main reason I haven't been in world as much lately. I have many things that I want to work on but am either exhausted and unable to stay awake late or am busy preparing for our new guest (redoing finances, looking for a new place to live, prequalifying for a home loan). Hopefully things will settle down shortly and I can finish the museum. I found some great new structures in the latest addition of Wallpaper* that I'd like to borrow from. I still don't know the sex yet but we're hoping for a girl. As for names, I've always wanted to name my daughter "Ulrika" (which is why I chose it for SL) but that's unfortunately off the table now, as my family doesn't want the baby named after a game character. I'll keep you all posted.  ~Ulrika~

A warm and hearty congratulations, Ulrika! As a proud poppa myself, I can certainly imagine the joy, elation and anxiety you must be feeling. Kiddos change everything.  All my best! (And Paola's a great girl's name hehe)

CONGRATULATIONS ULRIKA on your new BABY BUNDLE OF JOY  Hey, you could claim "time travel" defense as I do and say that your SL avatar came AFTER the baby, backwards! And that you're actually named in honor of her. Pfft, you seemed to say it yourself, that your idea for the name came first. My bottom line: she's your baby, and if you really like the name and the fam can be tided ovah, go for it. There's a certain something about carrying on that tradition too. *huggerz*

Congrats Ulrika! When are you due? My wife is due Aug. 20-22. We've got a 2 year old daughter so this time we're hoping for a boy*.  * But a girl will be just as AWESOME, in case it turns out to be a girl and 10 years from now finds this thread on the Internet or archived somewhere!! Daddy loves you!

Ha ha! Thanks for all the ideas on names. Strangely, they all seem to be modifications of your own names.  Aaron, the baby is due on the 25th of August. We should start a baby pool to see which one actually shows up first. We should make some money off these little hobgoblins while we have the chance.  ~Ulrika~

We heard the little (guy/girl)'s heartbeat today, it was so cool! You and my wife are due the same week, that's wild. I'd love to run a pool, maybe I can script something up for running calendar pools inside SL. That'd be fun! Congrats again!

If this happens (aside from me laughing hysterically) you are bound to name him/her after me !!!  Gotta love virgos !!!
