Thoughts From a Rather Drunk CreamyGoodness

[Whattawort]

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!

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!)

The pregnancy test came back positive today. I'm drunk as a skunk. Wish me well...

Attaboy, Creamy! :rockin:
Congrats to you & Mrs Creamy.
Regards, GF.

Indeed. Lets use terms like "the one" for now. The idea of there being more hereforward makes me panic.

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.
