Sovereign rules
 

Congratulations, Stefano!

I commend to you Robert A. Heinlein's sovereign rules for a happy marriage:

1) Make sure she has her own desk, and then keep your hands off of it.

2) Always budget the luxuries first! Pay cash for what you want or do without. Awareness of debt eats up domestic felicity.

3) Always tell her she is beautiful, especially if she is not.

sfloriII, May your first child be a masculine child."

2 words for a successful marriage: "Yes, Dear". :D :D

You've got that right!! After spending five or more years at the gym for most days in the week, I haven't worked out in MONTHS! Now I've got that little pooch above the belt line that's driving me crazy.

In a few weeks I'll be back at the gym, though. Now that she's moved into my (uh.... our) place, I'll be able to hit the gym for a quick workout before getting home. :)

I figure in about 9 months we'll all hear about the miracle of birth.

I think Stefano will wait...wants his waistline back before he becomes a victim of sympathy pregnancy and gains his weight back. By the way, anyone out there remember what the 5 criteria are for a "miracle" as denoted by the Catholic church?

Wonderful! All the best to you both.

Maybe you both could really go to town and start really whipping up some of those wonderful Peruvian delicacies, like Rocoto Rellenos, Papa a la Huancaina, Lomo Saltado, ceviche, anticuchos, arroz con pollo, and wash it down with Pisco Sours, Cusquena, or Ariquipena beer (or Inka Cola!!). Hopefully you got a blender.....

Arriba Peru!!:)

You counting? Back in the day they used to count. Anything shorter than 9 months and people would talk.

My paternal grandfather used to say that a lot of times the first child comes early. After that they usually take nine months.

Cool, that's what my folks said, too.

My Mom (much later told me) was nearly certain that pregnancy was the reason Mrs B & I married and sure enough, BAM! 6 years later we had our first child.
