Also, isn't Trygve just Ballardian for Trig, the Alaskan 'tard? That aint't right...it's too Republican and Mongolian at the same time. Capiche?

Happy triplets! Breed, baby, breed!

Here's hoping that all three will be healthy and that the delivery will go well.

As has been stated above, once the kids arrive that's when the real work begins. At least they are already experienced parents - should make it a bit easier than if their first experience with parenting was with twins or triplets.

They're going to need a lot of support - but they're going to have lots of rewarding experiences as well.

Well said David @8

I'm a woman. I don't think Dan ignore's a woman's perspective at all. Have you really read or listened to his work? He is so far from being sexist!

And have you read "The Kid" and how he writes with so much caring and empathy about the mother his own child? And how they have worked to keep her in their lives?

Don't be a knee jerk reactionary. Please.

Since this is the lead story, an exclusive scoop, in the annual Pride edition - maybe the rainbow theme is right on.

Also remember that the Pride theme was Stonewall, going back 40 years, so even tie die seems to have made a comeback for the week.

Rainbows taking a shit, how very queer, during queer week... idea for the Stranger float for next year?

You're right that Dan writes from a male perspective. It's a virtue and a vice.

Fine, point taken, but address the fact that it's the *female* surrogate who's expecting because she's the one that's actually *expecting* some human beings to drop from her loins in a few months time. And she's the only one who has to deal with the actual pregnancy, hormonal changes, labor, etc. Right now all those 2 guys are doing is signing checks.

Dan likes to remove females completely out of the picture (gee, I wonder why) but the fact of the matter is, for making, creating and delivering babies, which is kinda a big part of the whole family thing, they're um fucking necessary.

I say we have a Big Fabulous Gay Baby Shower for Rep. Pedersen and Eric! They're gonna need a lot of stuff.

Congrats to Jamie and Eric. I hope they have lots of family in town, or money for care givers, because with triplets, they will need it.

Also: There's a rumor out there saying teachers are aware that children of gay parents do better in school ... because they are so wanted and loved so much.
Any other evidence for that perspective? Worth of deeper Slog reportage?

I think Jamie should look into starting a boy band.

What a lot of hoops to jump through! A sweet reaction to the news they got, that all three eggs took hold.

I hope they never pose for another photo like the SGN one, though, where they dress themselves and the kid in the same clothes, in this case khaki cargo shorts and polo shirts. But somehow I think they will.

I predict we'll have a "fine arts academy" or drama school on Cap Hill eventually.
