Title: Going to be a dad.
Post by: ToneMonkey on December 29, 2008, 01:05:25 PM: Like the title says, I'm going to be a dad. Early stages at the minute (six or so weeks) and we were trying to keep it under our hats for a while. Sadly her old man couldn't contain himself and started telling people, so the cats out of the bag now.

I'm well happy, but it does mean that I'm smoking in the back garden now, so she could have waited until summer :lol:

Feeling really lucky because we know a few people that have had a trouble getting pregnant, but obviously I'm a stud and it only took just over a month 8)

It's a brilliant and terrifying experience.

Now give up that smoking for the benefit of the littl'un. Perfect time to do it, too!

Been seriously considering it. Got to get to the bottom of my Christmas/Year stash first though :D Feeling really sorry for queeny as it's not the best time to find out you've got to stop drinking and smoking (although she didn't smoke too much to begin with).

Looks like the new speakers that I need are out the window :(

Cheers for all the congrats guys :D

You'll get a new one that speaks really LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUD! :lol: (the problem is: there is no "off switch" (http://216.211.140.132/Smileys/Lots_O_Smileys/toothy12.gif))

Have a go at giving up the fags. I've been off them a year now and it's not as hard as some would have you think.
Title: Re: Going to be a dad.
Post by: Antag on December 31, 2008, 09:46:52 AM: Congratulations! As others have said, being a dad is the best job in the world. I became a dad at age 35 (Jan '07) & again in May this year - it totally changes your outlook on life (in a good way).

Although your lady is still in the early stages, the "drop zone" looms up rather fast :) Make sure you give her all the support you can. Good luck!

I've just had my second and I'm well happy. Now I can retire and live with them for free when I'm older, saves me getting a pension!

One of my selfish worries with the first was that I would not get enough guitar time but I ended up playing loads before and after the birth, I used to even have my amp on quiet any play some soothing music to get her to sleep by her cot which seemed to work for a few months.

No death metal though, that just scares em'
