Debra - I actually thought it was hysterical after I picked my jaw up off the floor.  Ours is a uniquely disfunctional relationship.

Jen - At least she didn't beat me over the head with the pregnancy test sticks like the last time while screaming, "You did this to me!"

I'll assume you don't mean she got pregnant via Facebook and offer congratulations! On the off chance, I am wrong, there's always this.....

Hi Paul... Congratulations on #3.  I'm sure that it beat the heck out of some outdoor activity in the Arizona summer heat.  Oh wait... perhaps you went camping???

WOW, congratulations Paul.

What a hoot. I love it, I see your wife is as creative as you.

My 3rd one was the easiest in so many ways.  Children are a blessing!!

Lenn & Colleen ... let it never be said that I never warned you about the Facebook superpoke function.

Missy - Thanks.  I think she just wanted to be in an undisclosed location when the news was broken.  She was expecting a full on Linda Blair rotating head and split pea soup type reaction.  Hopefully, we've made most of the mistakes by now and will be similarly more equipped to handle our third go at this. 

Russell - The rumination will last for the next 8 months or so I imagine (not sure how far along yet, just taking a stab).  Of course, I will be retaking the Bargaining With God course for the umpteenth time.  I flunked that one in college about 74 times.

Paddy - Better than submitting a contact form through my website, I suppose.

James - Isn't that the truth?  Otherwise, I might have to scroll through her friend list for an excess preponderance of cable guys, appliance repair servicemen, mail carriers ...

Steve - No camping this time of year. Even in the high country that is tantamount to a barbeque.  Thinking next year we'll need to diversify a bit.  Maybe go to a waterpark or skating rink on occasion.  As I've heard it so eloquently put, three is a family, four is a litter.

Elaine - IB34

Nick - No kidding.  Call me when the Hoff decides to eat more meat product off the floor.

Susan - She's a keeper, no?

JL - We have reached new heights in our virtual intimacy.

Lisa - Just be nice to B.  No one can be nice to me for 8 straight months.

Mara - That is beyond freaky that you would say that.  I'll shoot you an email.

OMG. Wow. I really don't know I would handle getting an announcement like that over the net...through Facebook of all places...was it sent to you privately, or posted publically for everyone else to read before you got the chance?

Funny thing, yesterday I was toying arround on FB and took a "quiz" of sorts...I was very pleased with the results....I let the wife see it, and of course I didn't publish it...as it was for her eyes only...

I'll have to look you up on FB when I get home today.

Oh, and are congratulations for you in order...or did I catch something about an outside interloper in one of your comment responses?...;-)

6:48am • #33

Congratulations!  I know that since you have kids already it is less of a surprise.  I can say that if I learn that my wife is pregnant with our 1st child through facebook, I might have a bit more to say.

Regardless - congrats and good luck.

Congrats, my man.  I think mass emailing would have been the better option but what do I know?  I know this, I'm moving to Canada when that spawn is born;)

William - Thanks, my man.  Received and accepted your invite on Facebook.  When the wife undoubtedly posts pictures of the sonogram for 400 of our closest friends to peruse, I will rely on you to tell me whether or not the little tyke bears a strong resemblance to Captain Lou Albano.

Eric - Thanks, buddy.  Ironically enough, she chose the virtual method for notification to make it more memorable.  She practically threw the tests at me last time in her rush to share the news, so she decided to have a little fun with it this time.  I loved it.  Absolutely hysterical.

Sardi - You and me both ;)

OMG - how do I miss all the fun... Crap, Paul - this better be one of us, you know, the girlie types:-)

So was there a natural disaster involved or something?  I think last time anyone one in Fl had sex was during the canes of 04... I'm just sayin'

Congrats on the new baby coming down the pike.  It seems all important milesstones are now discovered first on FB... births, deaths, engagements, split-ups.  It pays to keep up with the damn thing.

Inna - It would not be letting a cat out of the hefty bag to say that we are thinking pink this time around.  My poor wife even has two male dogs under this roof.  As for the nocturnal habits, or lack thereof, of your fellow Floridians ... still laughing at your conclusion. :)

Georgina - I even learn my own news on FB these days.  Zany times.

Steve - Thanks, buddy. 

Donne - Seeing that the news was discovered on FB, if I can see past the haze of recollection, I believe I threw a pig at her or something.  Or is that what got me in this mess?  Oh, nevermind.
