I was eating breakfast today and my wife shows me a pregnancy test that she took this morning. Positive. It appears that I'm gonna be a first time father...I'm speechless, nervous, scared, awed...I'm just about any adjective you can think of. We are confirming tomorrow so I'm not getting my hopes up just yet. All this to say, be watching the classifieds soon...I will probably need some money.

I remember when my wife told me she was pregnant for the first time and how excited I was. Big smile on your face I bet!

Well smiling while in shock. This was the first month we didn't use "protective" measures (on purpose)...whoops. Ha ha ha ha.

Perhaps you need to look at that "shot in the penis" thread... :hiding:

Seriously, congrats! I've raised 7 of 'em. I'm completely broke, but it was worth it.

Awesome news! There is no greater blessing in the world than having a child.

I remember when my wife told me. It was 4 days after 9/11, and we were celebrating our one-year anniversary in Gatlinburg.

Like all of America, I was already experiencing multiple tragic emotions. Fear, anger, disgust.

I spent a half hour trying to gather myself together, as I experienced a whole new set of emotions. More intense was the fear, anger, etc. because now I was responsible for the protection of a child. Protecting him from a world that would do such a thing to his fellow man.

But then, by the grace of the Father, I found resolve. I found pride. I found a reason to stand in the gap.

That boy was born 7 months later, and now is a 75 lb solid. He has a 3 year-old sister as well.

So, now that my thread-jacking tyrade is over;), I'll just say that you should better be prepared for a wealth of emotions! But believe me, they are all so wonderful!

Congrats, man.

RUN!!!

ok, just kidding. I think everyone should go through it at least once. You will be tested like you won't believe and probably have a blast doing it.

Congratulations, and welcome to the hardest, most terrifying, and demanding job in history ... ... and worth every gray hair it will give you.

By the way -- my boy is now 27, and a good man. You'll keep worrying, (though about different things as your child gets older), and that's what causes the gray hair to turn white !!!

PS --- the worry and work is more than offset by the pride and love ...

I am reading this while listening to my own 6 month old baby girl jibber-jabber away in her playpen. It will change your life in soooo many ways...So congrats. Save money, and buy diapers and butt-cream.
