Now, if you care to, give me some advice on fatherhood!

Congratulations to you and your wife.

My best advice...stay flexible. If it is a girl, she will wrap you around her fingers. If it is a boy, he will wrap your wife around his fingers.

Either way, you will soon have someone to take out the trash...after they roll their eyes and give a huge sigh.

Congrats! Be prepared for a roller coaster ride of joy, fear, panic, relief, and wonder.

Congratulations.

My only child is 47 years old.

It still seems like he was born one minute and off to college the next.

My old man advice, Spend time with your kids while you have them.

If you want them to have time for you when they are older, spend as much time bonding with them as you can pre-teen.

Be prepared for raging hormones (especially for girls) when they hit puberty.

To: All

Thanks everyone!

And I agree with you all that time is crucial. I’m currently working out of my home office and plan to do so for as long as I am able, Lord willing! (Yay for modern IT jobs!)

I’ve already started looking for an even higher-level position in my field. I’m hoping I can find something that I can still do from home, because I want to be around as much as possible, but I’d also love for my wife to be able quit her job if she wants to. She says she won’t want to, since she works from home as well and she thinks she’ll get bored without a job once things settle down. But I’d like to be provider-y enough so that she could be a full-time mom if that’s what will make her happy. :)

Congratulations! Don’t waste a moment, if you blink they will be grown up. It doesn’t seem that way now but they grow far too fast!
