  1. woo hoo….congrats….start sleeping now, since you’re not going to be sleeping much in a few months. Oh and stock up on her favourite ice cream/cookie/snack.

        • What if they have to relocate to the South? Big problems abrewin’ there. Now, I’d suggest as an alternative something more standard. Like “Burt.”

          • The funny thing is that unless you’re parked in antarctica you’re always North of something. South on the other hand is a horrible label; he’s my evil alter ego.

        • We positively cannot name our offspring after the worse movie over one of the most painfully bad movies I’ve ever had the misfortune to see bits and pieces of.

          The funny thing about this handle-name talk is that “Will” was very high on my wife’s list.

          • And, for that matter, the name Truman was on my list (on the top of my brother’s, before he opted out of parenthood).

          • There’s a movie named North? No wonder it was bad. The genuine North hordes all the awsome and that hollows out the knockoffs.

  2. WOW!!! This is just awesome Will, congrats to you and Dr. Clancy both!

    Buckle up! This will be the most amazing journey you guys have ever had.

  3. That’s wonderful. Congrats to both of you.

    And “Michael” is an elegant name with a long and proud history. I’m just saying.

    • Clancy got less than 10 hours of sleep from waking up Friday to going to sleep for real on Monday. This is suddenly of greater concern than it was a few months ago, and it was of serious concern then.

  4. Thanks everybody. We’re obviously thrilled. We’ve been waiting a long time for it. Not that it took long to happen once we started trying, but we kept delaying trying for the pieces of our lives to fall into place. It became apparent that wasn’t going to happen in time. So now we’re (God Willing) adding a baby into the mix of our uncertain lives!

    (Obviously, we’re confident that something will work out.)

  5. Congratulations! How exciting!

    Does Clancy LOVE being pregnant?

    • She has only vomited once. The most bizarre thing is her sudden distaste for coffee. The most stereotypical thing is that jar of pickles in our fridge that never would have been in our fridge before.

  6. Cubs good. Everything different… but good. Yay!

  7. I would like to buck the trend and recommend *against* my handle-name. I’d dread to think of the nicknames your child would get in middle school with a name like ‘Hortensio’ – or, to take another name from Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew, ‘Tranio’.

    Regardless, congratulations!
