Two Things

First of all, Jess and I were in disagreement last night. Are the pills in Dr. Mario (SNES version) red or pink? Of course we agree that the other colors are blue and yellow.

Also Jess missed her period a couple weeks ago and she just called (I seriously, 30 seconds ago, got off the phone with her -- how sad is it that I come here first) and said she just took a pregnancy test and that it indicated that she is pregnant. I was planning on marrying her anyways but I was NOT planning on having children. Right now the mature thing I'm going to do is to pray that either A) she's not really pregnant and it was a freak accident that she got a positive test or B) that I'll be an excellent father even though I haven't purposefully chosen the time at which I'll become one.

Hope everything works out for you, Alex.

...are they red or pink?

Light...red?

And if I recall correctly, you don't believe in abortion. That is… unfortunate.

I enjoy the juxtaposition of these two topics, though.

Mimir -- red or pink?

Correct: if she is in fact going to have a child, we will not purpose to stop it.

According to Wikipedia the pills in Doctor Mario are Red.

Would you and her consider adoption?

"A period"
~~This is what I like to add to the end of almost every sentence.~~

No, I mean, we were already saying we wanted to get married. We can provide a stable home. What I'd like to do is to think of a way to ask her whether she desires adoption, without hinting to her whether or not I desire it (I don't -- I'd like to keep the child).

There's always the outside chance of an inaccurate test and we plan on having her take another soon but I mean, all the signs are here already, so it's pretty much a sure thing.

It's a modern computer monitor.

Mimir -- red or pink?

I've never played Dr. Mario, actually. :(

This question is impolite enough that you I won't blame you if you don't answer it, but were you attempting birth control by the rhythm method?

Honestly, I wasn't making an attempt at birth control. I'm not terribly surprised.

We got back together recently and had sex three times, after which we realized that since we don't believe that pre-marital sex is pleasing to God, we'd be happier not doing it. We haven't had sex since then, which was about a month ago. We have in fact been happier (the clean conscience effect, one might say). So it would appear we're about a month in already.

Yikes, okay, that is quite a situation. I hope everything works out for you.

Thanks. I'm sure it will.

Not trying to pry, but I gotta ask you something. If you weren't ready to be a father, why wouldn't you make an attempt at birth control?

I'm ready. It was just unplanned. It's not the most convenient time.

Don't worry about being a father. I'm sure you'll do great. And you don't even have to worry about being the first PMSian to bear the title "father."

And I do love how radically different your two things were.

Dang, Gary beat me to it. Is he the only one?

As far as I know.

Was there a specific reason you weren't using birth control? Seems like an obvious thing to consider.

I guess my desire to prevent a child wasn't that great.

Odd, that.

Good luck with everything. As far as "mistakes" go it's got a fairly high reward potential, especially since you were already planning to get married.

Perfectly understandable, Alex. I wish you and your girlfriend the best.

Adaption is a solution. My aunt and uncle can't have kids, so they chose to adapt (in fact, they just adapted their second child this week. A 21-year-old girl who wasn't ready to be a Mom). If not, then I'm sure you'll do just fine. Good luck with it all.

Alex, here's a good indication of knowing if she's pregnant. If you live with her, see if she throws up or has no desire to eat a lot. If so, congratulations, daddy.

I have no sig...

Well, this topic was a surprise. I certainly did not expect this.

Anyway, good luck to you on the possible child, Alex.

spud2002 is alive! >_>

...she took the EPT. Morning sickness won't be a better indicator than that.

Also, bigger boobies.

I'd go Red based on the box art.

And I kind of know how you feel, man. My wife in Harvest Moon thinks she's pregnant, and it's a lot of responsibility to think about shouldering.

Recent Grad School Word: Specifying Variation (n phr) Use of redundant synonyms, esp phrases in alliterative poetry. MoE: Cease and desist; House and home

lol to Mr. Wil

Anywho, so I was discussing this with Kelsey and I said you would probably be a good father and can provide some stability for a child, provided you don't flake out and find yourself estranged from your own child, which actually sounds slightly like you, but I doubt it would happen.

Also, if everyone in a pool bet lost the bet by betting like, 10 months too early, is the bet off?

If you play lotto rules, you just have to bet on the next child.

Was that question put in just to make the pregnancy that much more shocking?

I agree with everyone else- either keep the child or go with adoption. I'm sure either path will work out for you, but keeping the child would probably be best (in my opinion).

Slightly legendary.

Of course, all this implies that if it's a boy, you must name him Dr. Mario.

I think if it's a boy we'll be naming him Dane Ibsen Woods.

C'mon. At least make it a second middle name.

Sounds like this wouldn't be too terrible of an accident for you guys, considering your plans for marriage and kids.

It's just the "we got back together recently" line that makes me a little worried.

I don't know how I have missed this topic. I blame work. Anywho, congrats Alex and welcome. You'll do very well as a father. I don't know whether you are actually considering adoption, but I'm fairly certain that that option is going to fly out the window the first time you actually hold your child. We considered it as well right up until we met D, and I was (and still am) rather ashamed that it even came up.

I won't lie to you. Your life is about to change, drastically. A lot of things that seemed very important before D was born faded into nothingness afterwards. I find myself constantly thinking of how my decisions are going to affect my family and their well being rather than how they will affect me personally. Be prepared to take the backseat on just about everything. One of the most important things you will learn about being a father is that nothing is about you any longer. Nothing. Everything you do will have an impact on your family. No matter how small. From decisions on career paths to how much time is spent dickin' around on PMS (howdy extended absences). It won't be easy, and will often be frustrating as hell (let him/her learn on their own, you can't make decisions for them, just guide them when they need it) but it will make you a better person and will give more meaning to your life than you thought would be possible.

If you ever need to talk about something, do not hesitate to contact me. E-mail is best at this point (see profile) as I haven't been on AIM in quite awhile, though Facebook would work as well.

Sweet. Thank you so much, everybody. I'll post pictures when applicable... not much to see at this point.
