Thank you all very much for your kind words. It really means a lot to both myself, and the Sage.
As it turns out, we are expecting... so the "subtle" ( ) hints the Sage dropped several days ago have now been confirmed  . We've both experienced about 10 different kinds of joy and excitement since learning the news... but sadly, there just isn't an emoticon available to satisfyingly illustrate the kind we are feeling at the moment...
Alaundo, can you do anything about this lacking? 
So, we've decided to share the news with everyone we know (including all of our friends here at Candlekeep), including some poor strangers in the clinc that we were attending at the time 
Anyway, I just thought I'd let you all know. We're not sure how many of you really actually care, but, all we can say is that, if you've experienced this feeling and this joy yourself... you'll likely understand why we had to tell "everyone"...

Congratulations Sage and Lady K! This is most joyous and wonderous news, indeed.
Well It will certainly be interesting to find out how the footsteps of little sages will change the once mighty Sage... but... then Change is good we hear
Once again congrats |

Lady Kazandra,
Congratulations to you both again. Peace and happiness to your growing family in the coming years.
Now where do we send money for a trust fund to be set up so the child can buy a plethora of FR material one day?

Well met, Lady Kazandra
As thee has stopped by the library in person, I will extend and repeat my congratulations once again to thee personally 
I wish thee all the best and certainly DO care.... regardless of the fact that I have nay offspring of my own, and am extremely happy for thee both.
I hope ye manage to return to the library soon to catch up on thy Realmslore.
Take care of thyself. |

It is a feeling like no other. Mines acting cute right now 'talking' on the remote control to his mommy. He's a ham. To think that what you are feeling right now will increase 100x when the baby is born, and then increase daily from there. Congratulations guys. |

| Hey guys, congrats again. I can sort of imagine your emotions as I got married a couple of weeks ago to someone I konw I will spend the rest of my life with. As for caring or not I don't say what I don't mean. So joy and happiness to all 3 of you. Maybe it's the 4 of you, or 5...... |

Oh Sirius, we've already started... We have put aside most of the 1st and 2nd edition FR material we don't use that much anymore, and purchased some of the DL "young reader" novels to introduce him/her to the world of Krynn . We thought it would be best to begin with the "basic" material, and then move onto the more recent source information .
Then, after that, well... he/she will likely have our vast D&D library to draw upon for source material. Which begs the question... should we choose a setting for our child to learn about, or allow himself/herself to find their own way?

I guess free will is the way to go here although strong encouragment from parents when it comes to choosing a gaming setting does nothing but help in my book. |

Hehe
I knew the both of you would finally "get it together" so to speak. This is fantastic news Congratulations
Hey, I know the both of you are still in Cardiff at the moment, and, if you're still intending on heading up north to Birmingham to pay me visit, I'll just let you know that I'm going to be busy with work for the first couple of days next week. So, email me before you visit. That way, I can be sure that I'll be home, and congratulate you both in person. We'll even go out to dinner or something to celebrate
Oh, and don't worry about booking a hotel. You can stay at my place since my sister is still in Germany. That's good in a way, as we can play a few campaigns... It's been too long since our last gaming session, and I am looking forward to it .
Stay in touch

Whilst I understand how busy thou art, Sage, is it not quite an extreme to begin to produce little helpers? 
My best wishes to thee both. Now, lets see..... if its a boy, how about....say....."Alaundo"?
