All the Best to Mr. and Mrs. Duck!

[Linda Lee]

Don, aren't you and Renee rounding the final eighth pole in the Duckling Handicap, uh, Sweepstakes? Is that nest all feathered and ready for occupancy? All best wishes to you with the birth of Baby Duck imminent in June.

 

It'll be loads more fun than a black-out that cancelled your cruise!

thank you sooooo much for the kind words. yes we are in the home stretch...in fact renee had her baby shower on saturday. i can not believe the generorosity that was shown. were received many great and needed items. since this is our first child we needed everything. we counted all the wet wipes...10,000 and i am told we will use everyone of them. the nest is feathered. the baby furniture arrived last monday. the room looks fabulous if i do say so myself. sonogram on monday showed baby is at 4.5 lbs and counting. doc is saying about 8lbs before all is said and done

[L11]

Keep us all posted! By the way, do you know if you will be having a pink duckling or a blue ducking? If it is boy, will you be naming him after Newt?

 

Linda

[DUCK33]

[Danno]

I know this is more than most parents could dare to hope for...but if he becomes a hockey player, or better yet a GOALTENDER, I have some 20" goal pads which he is welcome to!! But wait until he's at least 18 months old to begin on ice training.

 

Who am I to give you such hope??

I was going to say something nice, but now that I read that you haven't even included me as a middle name, I'm devistated, pull the gun out of my mouth, take the needle out of my arm, I have no reason to live!

Hi Duck! Nice baby name! Also glad to hear all is well, and not much time to go. Best regards to Mrs. Duck. So fun getting the nursery ready!

 

Newt, Justen Philip Newt Duck just doesn't have quite the right ring to it. Don't you have your own Newt Jr. anyway????

You are entering a magical time. Best wishes to you both.

The only time this does not apply is at 0300 on the 3rd day of a bout of croup - then it seems like the time will NEVVVEERRRRR pass.

 

Seriously Congratulations Mr and Mrs Duck.

 

Oh, yeah, the 10,000 wet wipes will be gone by Christmas (so put that on your lists)

It seems like yesterday that we heard the news about the duckling. I'm so happy everything is going well. My grandson will be 2 years old on June 5th and he's the light in my life.

thanks all for your thoughts and kind words. set up all the gifts from the shower this weekend plus added some shelving to his room. we are ready........i think

[Ships R Great]

Danno---you made me chuckle out loud. But it will be magical, I do insist! (Except, maybe, for the croup [as mentioned by DocJohnB], leaky {or worse} diapers , colic , soggy (from spit-up) shoulders : ---need I go on? Still you won't trade it for a lottery win, or even the Penthouse suite on ony Celeb ship, after you expereince that little bundle in your arms for the first time.

 

Okay, Danno, give me your worst!

thanks rusty

 

i dont know about this lightning stuff but i dont think we will be booking a cruise for sometime, although there are some on these boards that are tring to persuade us to do otherwise

[Cloud9]

Congrats Duck and Mrs. Duck! A baby is just as nice to look forward to as a cruise, except, I would much rather have a cruise than another kidster at my age! Good Luck!

 

 Until no one's home

Ah common on Marc, as we both can see OUR DUCK seated in Doc's roller seat at Mrs Duck's base with his catcher's mit & facemask pounding with his fist to "get it right here".

 

Jerry is back here laughing that DUCK IS OUT! as the baby's head is visible he will be out like a light............

 

All the best to this baby duck, I am hoping for a girl to spoil him, but we need a name for her. Then she will have her first cruise & that trip report we will all save, as we are aunts & uncle ducks........
