In the pic­ture above is my mater­nal grand­fa­ther and my great grand­fa­ther, it seems I am going to be join­ing on them on the abil­ity to repro­duce and pass down genetic mate­r­ial to the next gen­er­a­tion.  Yes I am going to be a father, Xie want and annouced the preg­nancy on Twit­ter just a few hours ago with the fol­low­ing mes­sage:

As of yes­ter­day I am 7 weeks preg­nant — com­ing from the per­son who would never in a mil­lion years want kids, I am very excited & happy :D

I sent the fol­low up:

@xielan­thia con­grat­u­la­tions who is the father.…..nm :P

Then I sent this:

As of yes­ter­day @xielan­thia is 7 weeks preg­nant and I’m going to be a father — wish us luck — we’ll need it.

So we have announced to the Web 2.0 World (WTW? W2W?) that we are hav­ing a baby and doing it in true web fash­ion.  We have known for about 3 weeks and over that time eeked the infor­ma­tion out to fam­ily and friends.  The first per­son I told was the IPS guys I played SWG with that I have con­stant e-mail com­mu­ni­ca­tion with.  The first fam­ily that knew was my in-laws and fol­lowed by Xie’s grand­mother (I wish she had a blog i could link to).   Then it was ghoul­ishcharm.  From there I told my father and my brother who was also there.  I went and told my grand­par­ents last Sun­day and drove over to tell my sis­ter, but she already knew it seems that she found out from my father who knew the week before.

I did find out from my sis­ters that my grand­par­ents had already known about the preg­nancy (hav­ing heard it through her) but yet they acted like they didn’t know any­thing.   Wel­come to my fam­ily, we can act sur­prise even if we have known some­thing for months.   I know I used to unwrap my Christ­mas presents before hand and rewrap them — I got that trick from my godmother.
