A few thoughts for my first thread in too long:

* I'm loving my new job. The commute is great, I care about the people I work with... and the money is good. Whoot.

*BrewerBear is a magnificent human being. He so kindly sent cattle horns to my house so I can make drinking horns. I am really seriously looking forward to that project and hope to show pics along the way.

* My wife, on a business trip, found out that one of the women she was training had a husband that owns a LHBS. She brought me back a 5 gallon Summer Ale kit all the way from the left to the right coast. God Bless her. Any NYC Brewers care to come over and help?

* I'm making rice wine, apfelwein, and carrot wine today.

and lastly...

The pregnancy test came back positive today. I'm drunk as a skunk. Wish me well...
 
So what's the little one's HBT screen name going to be?

First thoughts in my brain: (after a growler of 10% imperial stout and a Mich Ultra, don't judge me!)

Congrats Creamy! Cheers!

Oh phew thank god someone finally referenced it. I been craving some Ultra the past few days, strange huh? Haven't had any in a year or two. The taste, (or lack of), takes me back to when I worked at a bar and grill.
 
no need for panic. we've got 2 boys and it's awesome.

Imo (and no doubt I'll draw a bullseye on my own self) having two kids is way easier than one. Multiples are self-entertaining, and trust me, there are times when that's friggin' HUGE! As I observe my oldest son now raising two boys (almost four and almost two) I see the same things repeating, little ones creating their own worlds together. It is so cool.


Congrats! Hoping you and the SWMBO make it out of the first trimester safely. If not, know that it isn't the end of the world and try, try again.

This is very wise and relates natural fact. Our first attempt at cloning indeed failed near the end of three months with all the emotional fallout therefrom. But an encouraging gyno doc bucked up the spousal unit and subsequent conceptions went full term with no unexpected issues (wife did loudly and plainly state she wasn't ready to deliver 1st son even while he had already crowned in the deliver room, but that's pretty normal stuff ;) )

Cheers!
 
I was just about to ask if creamed okra was being planned as the 1st solid food. My son is 4 and let me tell you man-o, you're in for a ride! There will be times when you ask yourself "what the hell did I do", but more often than not, you'll be asking yourself "how'd we ever live without him??". We're not going for another, but being the youngest of 3, I can attest that siblings are good at entertaining (and annoying) themselves. Congrats!
 
Indeed. Lets use terms like "the one" for now. The idea of there being more hereforward makes me panic. :mug:

At 33 I had basically accepted it as fact that I wasn't going to be a father. Then we agreed to adopt when my brother-in-law (17) got his girlfriend pregnate (16).

After agreeing to it, I panicked for about a week. And then I was fine. After she was born and I held her in my arms, I couldn't imagine not being a father.

We only have her. She's quite enough on her own. With how well she argues and negotiates, she has a bright future as a lawyer or politician.

She turns 8 in January.

My advice, though, is if you want more than one then you need to do it in the first 4 years. After they turn 5, they are: sleeping on their own, playing on their own, out of diapers, and out of daycare.

You start tasting the freedom that comes with them entering school and you don't want to give it up.
 
Congrats. It's like homebrewing. At first, you're terrified of everything. It's tons of work, lots of learning. After awhile, things smooth out. Occasional boilover or you mismeasure ingredients, but you know what you're doing, no biggie.

In the end, you see the results of your hard work, and you're proud to share your "product" with the world. Nothing better.

I'm not yet at the point where we can share a homebrew and a cigar, but am greatly looking forward to it.
