The “Big’s” are pregnant!

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan – The rumors and suspicions have been confirmed, Mrs. Uncle Big has a little jalapeno popper in the oven!!
Lorien and I just wanted to let all of our HSB family know that we are expecting our first little pepper pod.
We just got the ultrasound results today and we are we are as proud as proud can be.
Everything looks great, the baby is growing as it should be, albeit larger than average, like that’s a surprise considering the male breeding stock involved.

Too soon to tell the sex, I thought it was a boy (AND WHAT A BOY!), but the tech pointed out that I was seeing the umbilical cord, but the baby’s gender doesn’t matter to us, as long as the he or she is healthy and loves spicy food!!

As you can see by the ultrasound pictures upon first glance everything appears normal.

Big Jr.

But after slipping the technician a little incentive, we zoomed to find that our child is already knowledgeable in sign language and has a fiery little heart beating in it’s chest! It was all I could do to choke back the tears.

Big Jr.

That’s Uncle Big’s offspring for sure. Attitude right out the gate, gotta love it!!

    Yes- congratulations! How those technicians can determine anything is a mystery to me. From that picture, I see a ducky, a horsey, and a bottle of hot sauce.
    Don’t forget Uncle Big- child labor is only illegal when it’s not one of your own (cue evil laughter).

    Wow, this is my first post on here but I feel like I know you all so well. Thanks so much for the congrats, we are really excited and a little freaked but I’m sure you will all tell us that is to be expected.
    And I can’t believe the little one is already exhibiting Uncle Big attitude – I think I will have my hands full with two trouble makers – one big and one small!

  23. Mrs. Uncle Big Avatar

    Huv,
    I’ll have to get some tips from you, being a father of the year and all!
    I’m really looking forward to fatherhood, seriously I am. ๐Ÿ˜ฏ
    We moved to Saskatchewan for a slower pace and to accomplish two things:
    1. Open the first Fiery Foods store in Saskatchewan: DONE
    2. Start a family: DONE
    Both have been a great success. Mind you there isn’t much else to do here except work and “practice” making babies.
    I highly recommend it to everyone.

    AJ,
    If need be, I have created an “instructional video” and associated goodies that are useful in the conception of grandchildren.
    You get:

    1 beta format video tape narrated by Andrew Dice Clay
    1 “Smokin’ Chipotle” scented candle
    1 copy of “Sex for Dummies” – New York Times Best Seller List
    1 copy of Barry White’s All Time Greatest Hits
    1 bag of microwave popcorn
    1 “Baby On Board” suction cup window sign

    It’s only $49.95 and can be delivered to AZRich’s door in a discreet plain brown wrapper.
    Due do the fact that I’m in it, it’s only available in “wide screen” in order to capture me in full effect! ๐Ÿ˜ฏ
    Operators are standing by……..

    One of best things about your little girl is when she starts to go out on dates and the boy has to meet THE DAD. And for the boys.This is a good one guys, when they start to date. There girlfriends have to meet the COOL DAD and they can stay for dinner and come over as often as they like. And in the summer time when the pools is open they and there girlfriends can go swimming anytime they want even if my boys are not home. MY HOUSE MY RULES

    The wife and I have two offspring, one is 13 and the other is 9…We can remember the day when we first laid our eyes on each of their ultrasounds, and it seems just like it was yesterday. They grow up really fast Uncle Big, so cherish every second with your child because time really does fly!
