NFT: I'm going to be a Dad (part 2)
 

Some of you might remember that I posted a few months ago that my wife was pregnant, and then miscarried.

Well, we are expecting again. This time, we went to the doctor, they found the heartbeat, and said everything is going wonderfully. Last time, they said the egg never implanted into the uterin wall, which caused the miscarriage in the 6th week of pregnancy.

My wife is almost at 9 weeks now.

Hopefully things go well this time.

congrats.... well now she's safe. :)

Goodluck man

Cool, I'll keep you guys in my prayers

Congratulations sir. Law of averages says you should have a happy, healthy, baby. Best wishes.

Prayers to you sir.

Congrats!

We just had our third a few weeks ago. Our second was born back in January. We're gluttons for punishment.

Congrats

Congrats! (part 2)

Great news, good luck.

Is this your first?

Great news Frank.

Congrats.

Congratulations.

Are you sure you're ready?

I've got a 9 month old that has slept through the night maybe 3-4 times.

A week ago sunday, my very active 3 year old woke up screaming bloody murder, standing in the corner of her bed because "mosters" were going to get her.....I hop in bed, tell her its alright and she screams bloody murder because a monster is "getting me" while I'm talking to her. Its been a non-stop chasing mosters away, looking for monsters, "there are no monsters".....and then crying in the night from a kid who has never been afraid of the dark....because she's always thought her daddy was Chuck Norris.

today, after putting a puzzle together with her, she wanted to "play night time"...so we went to her room, searched for monsters for me to beat up....then I was "the baby" and she tucked me in, told me she wouldn't let anything get me, she loved me very much and would be just across the hall if anything tried to get me...and that she'd never ever stop looking for me if a monster took me away".

Fatherhood is very, very rewarding....but very very challenging.

Yes it is.

Big changes coming this summer. Wife having a baby, moving back to my hometown, graduating with my Masters, and hopefully working in the school district I graduated from.

I think I'm ready right now. I'm going to be 29 next month, and I really didn't want to be an old dad.

I'll likely be leaning on a lot of you for advice come September.
