Future Duke Fan On The Way.......

[CMS2478]

Just to let everyone know my wife and I recently found out that she is pregnant and I am going to be a first-time-dad. So there will soon be another Cameron Crazie roaming the earth. I promise to lead him/her to cheer for Duke and will never let him/her stray down the dark road that leads eight miles down the road. :D

P.S. Oct. 25 is the due date - Just in time for next season!!!

[TillyGalore]

Congratulations!

May your future Cameron Crazie bring you years have happiness, joy, and love.

[CathyCA]

Congratulations to all three(!) of you!

CHEERS!!

[blublood]

Congrats!! That is wonderful news! :D

CHEERS!!

The funny thing is that I saw the thread on baby names before and told my wife about someone naming their son Redick as a first name and she actually likes that. We haven't officially agreed on that yet and don't know if it is even a boy, but that would be pretty cool.

Any other suggestions besides the obvious one of Cameron???

[DukeDevil]

...will never let him/her stray down the dark road that leads eight miles down the road. :D

Wouldn't that be the light road?

Congrats!

[Indoor66]

Wouldn't that be the light road?

Congrats!

Congratulations!

...and it would be a light road to a dark place.

MAZEL TOV!!!!

Its very nice to here all the good news that is going on amongst members of the board!

[hc5duke]

Add one more Duke fan. Same due date - Oct 25. :)

We actually found out on February 12, but figured we'd wait a while before telling people. We just heard the heartbeat yesterday with a Doppler. Cool stuff.

Maybe we should have a bet going on whether Mrs. CMS2478 or Mrs. hc5duke delivers first ;)

[DevilAlumna]

Congratulations, Hc5duke family - what great news!

Thanks! Great sig btw

My daughter and son-in-law (both Duke '01) are expecting mid-June. They just ordered a "onesie" (...if you're a parent you know that that is). DUKE GRAD 2030.

More CamCrazies on the way..... prolific "buggers" (....I was going to say procreators...but I thought I might get censored) that we are.

Hey Mom, you also didn't get censored for "buggers!"

hc5duke: Is this your first one?

CHEERS!!

As a proud owner of an adult size onesie, I advocate that they should be liberated from the clutches of children. Every grown-up should know the warmth and comfort of a onesie on a winter day.

Actually, it was a gag gift from my mom and sister a few Christmases ago. I'm pretty sure they were calling me a baby.

[billybreen]

Congrats to all!

I just need to find a way to hide this thread from the wife.

Yup.

[bjornolf]

that's awesome. My wife is having our third future cameron crazie, and first daughter, tomorrow. Wish us luck! :eek:

Congrats! I guess you'll have to change your icon pretty soon

[blublood]

^^ Awwww!.... Is that not the most awesome thing ever? :D

When we first saw ours, I remember thinking, "My God, there's an actual little person in my tummy." It was my first clue that being pregnant means having a baby which means massive responsibility over another little life which means... whoa!! Yikes!

[blublood]

that's awesome. My wife is having our third future cameron crazie, and first daughter, tomorrow. Wish us luck! :eek:

Wow, good luck! Gonna be a long day, but a blessed one, that's for sure. :)

Good luck. Will keep you and your family in my prayers for a safe delivery of healthy baby girl.

Does she have her daddy wrapped around her finger yet? :D

Yup.

hey... That looks like mine :)
we have our first Bluebear cub arriving around the same time 10/23.. We have our second ultrasound next Monday so I'm looking fowars to seeing the changes. Congrats to all who shared in this thread...

[bjornolf]

more like her little toe. Even her brothers are already whipped. You should see them, "Mommy, when's my baby sister coming?" "Mommy, I love my baby sister" "Mommy, I'm mad at you and Daddy and my brother. I only want my baby sister. The rest of you can go away!" Ah, a child's love. :rolleyes:

Thanks for all your well-wishing. We'll take all we can get.

Mine is 10/26. (10/23 is my birthday btw). We've got a second ultrasound scheduled for May, but might get a screening ultrasound again sometime this month. Congrats!

Bjornolf: Good luck with everything tomorrow.

My daughter had me wrapped around her pinky when during the public portion of my doctoral defense, my pregnant wife suddenly felt her first kick. As I saw my wife move and look, I could tell what had just happened. Now I don't know if my daughter appreciates polyspecific associations in primates, but I do know that she heard my explanation. Perhaps the kick was her dissent. Beats me, but she's had me wrapped since day minus 95.

I hope your daughter brings you as much joy.

PINK CHEERS!!!!!!!

P.S. And post a photo!!!

[bluebear]

Our ultrasound on monday is a screening one..the following one (in may) will be a little more exciting as we'll probably find out the gender at that point. Since we've been known to exchange xmas presents in the first week of December, waiting to find out until the actual delivery was immediately off the table..should be an exciting October on this board...

Dude, congratulations!!! Being a dad is one of the greatest things I've ever experienced, and as much as everyone will tell you, it definitely DOES change your life, your way of thinking, just everything. I got a lot closer to my parents after having my daughter because of the newfound respect I had immediately for them.

And your child can be a freshman when my girl Bri is a junior at Duke, they will be classmates :D Im having to fight with my wife over her being a UK fan, but Im winning the battle, she now loves everything with Duke on it :) Congrats again!

[BlueDevilJay]

Dang, all these children being delivered around the same time....Did Duke win a huge game 9 months ago or something?? If they had, my wife would have been due again right around now.... :)

[blublood]

And your child can be a freshman when my girl Bri is a junior at Duke, they will be classmates :D

Excellent! Our little boy will be a sophomore that year, I believe... he was born in August 2007. Any other takers for the Children of DBR Addicts Society?

Another friend of mine from Duke just found out that she's pregnant and due in September, so the class of 2030 will certainly be loaded.

Congrats to bluebear!!!

[hc5duke]

Just found out today that we're having a boy! No names yet though. I'd post an ultrasound pic, but that might be considered pre-kiddie-porn. ;)

[dukemomLA]

Congrats to all!!

My daughter Alex and son-in-law Kent are IMPATIENTLY waiting to meet their daughter in the flesh. (...and me too, as a firsttime Gamma).

Since this thread has moved onto baby names, I thought I'd share that our 'family addition' is Greta Mei. Greta - a tribute to our Norwegian heritage, and Mei (pronounced May) to Kent's Chinese heritage. If this girl doesn't go to Duke, she will be in serious trouble.

For years they thought they'd name their first child Cameron (either boy or girl), but since we already have two Camerons in the family, that name unfortunately got deleted from the list.

[hc5duke]

revised due date was 10/25 (due to leap day)
they induced (broke water) my wife on 10/24 and after 8 hours Alex was born:

Yeah, right:rolleyes:. I'm thinking they'd both whine and cry so much, you'd think they were destined to be tarhole fans:o.

Seriously, cute baby, REAL cute, but not enough Duke blue in his wardrobe-YET.

Congrats!!! I was wondering how the other October expected deliveries were going....

My wife was due on 10/23 but Holden came a little early (10/12)

Congratulations to you too! He too is beautiful!

[Bostondevil]

Bostondevil needs to step away from the computer now before she starts getting any ideas or looking up how old Susan Sarandon was when she had her last child, things like. Cute babies make me weak in the knees. Or as a good friend put it, I'm partial to short, toothless, bald 'men'.

Oooo, Christian Laettner, I can't post for awhile.

[CathyCA]

Also a big outstanding to blue. another beautiful child.

Well done, both of you.

[DukieInKansas]

The world has been blessed with two more adorable angels. May hc and blubear and their families be blessed with much happiness and good health. Let's get some Duke blue on those boys!

Congratulations to all.

Pink and blue hats appear to be standard hospital newborn attire...What is more troubling is the excessive volume of newborn boy clothing in that lesser shade of blue...it'll take him years to recover

Visit the Duke University Stores, on-line or in person if you're nearby. The Duck Shop may have some rich blue colors, too, if they're still in business.

The Duck Shop is indeed still in business. And there are a few baby and toddler items available there.

Congratulations to both families of beautiful October babies! I can't think of a better month to be born!!!!!

Did they ever get another website? They changed sites several times and then I haven't been able to find them online over the past few years.

[weezie]

Lots and lots of Dukie Babies!!! Congratulations to all. :)

[Lavabe]

Congrats to both the hc & blubear families!!

Now about getting a puppy, hc ... ;)

[DukeUsul]

Congratulations folks!!! Cute kids!

[Bostondevil]

You know, Auntie Bostondevil is always willing to keep a baby for a couple of hours while new parents go out to dinner and reconnect. Are any of these babies within squeezing distance of Auntie BD?

Congrats, I realize I didn't actually say that before.

[DevilAlumna]

Mazel Tov to you both, BB & HC! Holden and Alex look like they're well on their way to growing up to be fine, strong, handsome men. :)


Blubear, I don't think the Duck Shop has a web site these days, but when I worked there, we'd get calls all the time from out-of-staters to buy and have stuff shipped. I'm sure they'd be happy to do the same these days - I was in there last weekend, and they had baby shirts & onesies, little socks (pink w/ Duke embroidered, and Duke blue), and iirc, baby caps.

Thanks so much...I'll give them a call. I always liked their stuff better than the Duke store...

The Bluebears are just north of Boston...and given the emergence of some early colic, we may soon be looking for babysitting Auntie and Uncle DBRers...Tips on soothing a colicky baby are also welcome..

[captmojo]

Nothing more to add than...job well done.

Auntie DukieInKansas is available in the Kansas City area. I'm good at walking and rocking a fussy baby.

eta - back to a starter. Guess I'll have to work for 728 - the next level. ;)

We got him a prescription hat for the baby-blue-baby-hat-itis... if not treated i hear it can cause life-long problems, such as going to UNC.

I wholeheartedly agree! Again, congratulations.

[CameronBornAndBred]

He's a winner, congrats!
I think for his first halloween, you should paint him blue with white stripes and a D logo on his forehead. Tell everyone he's a Duke basketball. He'll win every costume contest you enter him in!

Don't know how far north you are, but PM me if you'd like.

[devildeac]

Don't know how far north you are, but PM me if you'd like.

You've covered a lot of milestones recently. You're now Carroll Youngkin. Guess you won't be posting again for a while;).

[dukemomLA]

hc -- Yes I know from long experience that a great dog will watch the kid, and the kid will keep the pup in line. An experience for both which will rival none other. Blessings to you.

And to ALL OF US who are bringing children and grandchildren into the Duke family. Soooooo cool.

As two Duke parents, and as grandma who is a sports fanatic, we're trying hard not to 'push too hard' to create a backlash. But...since Greta is only 4 months old, those concerns might be premature.

My daughter (class of 01) only states that she will be upset if Greta doesn't go to Duke, but....Greta will in NO WAY go to UNC or MD. Since my niece graduated from VA Tech, and my nephew currently goes to GATech -- I try to stay as neutral as I can -- as long as the ACC rises to the top in every sport.

Again, so excited to see more Duke Crazies on the way. YAHOO. Isn't it nice to be part of such a living family who supports this tradition? XXOOXX
