  • shafqat · 1 year ago
    What an amazing time of your life! Good luck as you make the transition - doubling your family overnight. That's the kind of growth startups would die for! I'll be getting in touch to send through some more schwag for the kids - I wouldn't want them brand/schwag-less for a single day of the week. Cheers!

    All I can say is: Good Luck! Looks like you guys are as well prepared as you're going to be (I would send you Last Podcast swag if I had any :)

    Hope you can keep the blog up and running - but if you slow down, I think everybody would understand.

    Ah, the final countdown! I actually remember NSTs very fondly now; when I had to have them with #1, they inspired terror, but with #3 it was 30 minutes 2x a week that I got to lay in a recliner and have peace and quiet. ;)

    Good luck! I think the boy should be named Profy and the girl Cyndy. Perfect names for the little ones! ;)

    I can't help but support Cyndy's proposal for the names for your twins, Louis! (By the way, I wonder if someone in brand building business thought of such promotion tactics - inviting a public person to name a kid after the advertised company or something like that.)

    Seriously, very sorry about your dog and hope you will enjoy the final countdown, the best of luck to your (now growing) family!

    Hey man i wish you very well and I am very sorry about Molly , you know we talked about her few times on twitter. If I lived near by I would buy you another beagle :) . I think they are great dogs for kids yet maybe not for babies due to all shedding etc.

    Anyways I might be father by end of next year too, i am waiting to finish my college degree (BS) in september then ill take small vacation and THEN make babies LOL.

    Do you already have name for boy and girl ?

    Wish you and family well.

    Louis - this is quite an exciting time. You know these new little people are just days from arriving. When I was at this stage, I was giddy with excitement for both my boy and my girl, in thinking about what they'd look like, their personalities, what our lives were going to be like. Savor the excitement you must be feeling now. And we'll all be looking for your update on their birth.

    "But it's clear that, as with most men, the boy is already taking his unfair share". Heh.

    Louis, grab every moment. Before you know it ... they will be in college. (I'm NOT kidding!)
    I hope it goes without saying that.. my wife, daughter and I wish you and your wife the very best in this, one of the most significant and exciting hapters of your lives.

    Louis, good luck with the twins! Molly probably wasn't up for all the competition and found herself some rest in doggy heaven. I know how you feel about losing her...

    So sorry about your dog. It can't be easy especially when you've had her for a long while.
    It's very exciting that you're getting ready to welcome two adorable little ones into your life! Enjoy the peace, quiet, sleep, personal space, downtime, while it lasts. Your life will never be the same again. Despite the constant chaos and the sleep-deprivation, thanks to cranky babies and 3am feedings, I am optimistic that it won't deter you from your online activities :)
    Hope you'll post some pictures here. Good luck & take care!

    Good luck Louis! You're going to have a blast with the twins, and it may be hard to do everything you did before at first. Once the routines get established though, and the fun and excitement of bringing the babies home subsides, it will be a piece of cake ;-) (Optimistic thinking - I know)

    Good luck, Louis. I'll know where you're at in a few weeks myself. My wife is 30 weeks pregnant with twin girls. To add to it, we have a 13 month old daughter! Like others have said (and I've heard other places too): routine, routine, routine! Definitely keep us posted.
