Yes this will be my first child.

Congrats! :) :)

Congrats!

Remember,when it's time for the baby to come and she is shouting in the delivery room "You did this to me,We are never going to have sex again!"....It's not true(somewhat)...

Congrats!

As the father of four i can say with confidence, that is definitely not true, definitely will again.

And don't sweat it man, if I can survive having kids, well just about anyone else can. LOL. And it is more fulfilling and gratifying than you will ever believe.

One word of advice, the expecting mother will be going through some tough times for the next 9 months. Be extra understanding, bite your tongue, and pamper her as much as you can. You need to keep her happy and healthy. I for one am amazed at what my wife went through 4 times. Pregnancy can really give their bodies a whooping, more than I think us guys can really realize.  

Congrats and definitely remember to pamper her very very much.  There will lots of weird cravings at lots of weird times and things will be a little crazy for the next 9 months and just remember that when the little one is born that it was all worth it.  What comes next, well that is a different thread.lol

Later,

Congrats! Very happy for you and your wife.

First off I would like to say THANK YOU GUYS for all the congrats, & the words off advice. Theres just a few things that I would like to address on the posts to this thread:

1. Yes Glenn, Thank You for the comment, to let you know she does know, at least you would hope...I was half way to work, got a message that said come home, & there standing in the drive way waiting was the wifey waiting patiently to tell me the news as I returned.

2. Fishing & the outdoors is going to always be a big part of his/her (I understand in about the 4th month we'll find out) life, as has been mine since I could remember.

3. I am relaxing into the idea of fatherhood a little more everyday. Its going to be a very exciting time, & a whole new experience. My father says from here on my life is changed forever.

4. I don't think that "bedroom play," is going to be a problem, (after the child) & at that am not going into anyway. If its great for those of you that are a couple then you know why.

5. Pampering is an understatement, I have been told that she needs to be treated like a queen, but without her taking control of things.

Now that I have addressed a few things, & thanked you guys, I just want ya'll to know that I'll be keeping ya periodically updated about special points into this journey.

Thank you,

-Phil (FishKiller83)
