Kids/child/baby in the near future..... Good times eh? I'm scared out of my mind. Due april 1th. No jokes, for rizzle.
Yup, never been more scared in my life. How can one insanely immature guy be a father? IDK, but I guess its happening!
Don't think of it as having a child, but getting a new playmate. The problem comes with sharing your toys, though. Just look at my killer slot car track as a prime example. D'you think I'd get away with that if it weren't for the kids ? Congrats, Stuart.
I have three kids, they are all great excuses for doing things you normally wouldnt do. Like ice cream for breakfast or playing in those big ball pits.
Congrats 3rik! Its totally normal to be scuuured, but trust me, you will be JUST FINE! BEERZ ON ME NEXT TIME I SEE YOU!
sober cab for 9+ months dude!!! so you better get started on welding up a rig to put the car seat on the back of the bike...
hey try it four times ha ha hah a yeah it is a thing of fear.. but not a I am F***ed fear, but fear of.. can I be the Dad the kid needs to be... how will I provide for it.. yada yada.. rest assured they dont take much except a lot of loving, and the expense side of it.. meh... it works out mate.. A huge congrats to you and the Miss's... this is truly what life is about IMO.. the ultimate sacrifice, the ultimate challenge, the ultimate reward... the biggest piece of advice I can give... get the kid on a schedule as soon as you guys can.. it makes your life easy, and the kids life easy...
Congratulations, 3rik. The big question is, will the kid end up an Oldsmobile nut, or a Subaru nut. This is the question.
Oh wow, 3rik has successfully bred in the wild! Congrats on the offspring and don't be scared, they're not as frightening after a while.
Congrats! My good buddy has two kids now and went through the same thing! He's doing great with them as I'm sure you will! Best of wishes! Kids are awesome!
Congrats 3rik to you and the Mrs! I'm sure you'll do fine. My son's due date was April 1st as well. He was born March 28th, the scariest and happiest day of my life all at once. That was over 11 years ago. It has been a learning experience every step of the way but a great ride. I wouldn't trade a day!
Congrats 3rik!!! Now sell me your turbo set-up so you can afford the billion dollars in diapers you'll need!
Congrats.. fatherhood is awesome... babys are great, diaper changing isn't that bad, kids cry... some cry alot, Just understand that they left the warmest most safest place in the world and got dropped in the middle of this ****hole.... you'd cry too... alot and for months.
sorry 3ric this is what I thought when I saw this thread.. just held off posting it..

thank mother nature for grandparents!!! I am so glad that mother nature gives grand parents that incredible drive to spen so much time with grandkids, you'll wounder why your own parents didn't treat YOU so well.:laugh::laugh: seriously, where was my dad when I was growing up? (I'll never tell my daughter this) but he can't go for more than a few days with out our Winry. You will love it.:biggrin:
The only advice here is to get lots of sleep (rest) now because you will need it when the baby come.... Congratulations, Dude!!!
oooo yeah... and sleep when the baby is sleeping when possible otherwise you can't get enough.... and ask for help from relitives, they kinda have a obligation to help (ask your brother and others) if they have had kids they will understand how helping you with the dishes IS importent, ohhhh also, give the mother some grace, she will be moody from the seaming failure of breast feeding, and the lack of sleep,.... the couch can be a welcome respit from the hassel in the bedroom and IS a healthy alternative to the fights that may/will ensue if you remai in close proximity, also revere her emotions as "sacred" she can feel however she wants, and YOU have to remember to not take **** personaly. these are lessons learned from my (lack of) experiance.
:biggthumpup:congrats! I've had the feeling for a while that I didn't want/need children of my own but, we spent much of the day yesterday with my niece(1 1/2ish) and I'm seriously starting to have second thoughts. It really is an amazing thing watching them grow up. Shes's like a new kid every time I see her.
OMG our kids can grow up together. Fondune get in on this sht. Congrats tom, I think its beer time for you and I.
Yes beers indeed. I am also going to need to acquire a shotgun within the next 13 years or so if you catch my drift.
Maybe mine will be a boy and you can threaten his life. Because I'm going to send him after your girl, know this.
