We're preggos!

[aekdbbop]

Well, after being told from the doc that my wife would probably never be pregnant.. so after being married for a year, we stopped using "protection".

To our surprise, she is preggos! That didn't take long!:cross:

We are excited and just told the parents last night..

Any tips from a dad's perspective would be great! As I am stressed out!

Thanks guys!

So much for listening to your doctor?!?!?!


Congrats on the baby AND not believing everything you are told.

 

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!! I will hoist an extra for you and the new family tonight

 

[98EXL]

wahoo! Wow, so you can make beer and babies! Congrats man! (now you'll have a new partner to get in trouble with the wifey with)

 

[TwoHeadsBrewing]

Congrats! Children are a wonderful thing!

Having 3 children of my own I can say...Get your sleep now, because for about 2-3 months after the baby comes you won't be getting any (sleep or anything else). Actually, my first slept through the night at 6 weeks, but the other two woke up 2-3 times every night until they were 2 or 3 months old.

 

[brauhaus]

just relax, you'll be okay...

there is the mild panic attack once you realize the hospital is letting you leave with this "new" thing that you have no clue how to take care of

seek advice from family and friends and use your better judgment.

btw, CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!

 

[conpewter]

Well, after being told from the doc that my wife would probably never be pregnant..

The doctor told my wife the same thing. Guess he was wrong.

so after being married for a year, we stopped using "protection".

Check the CCW thread, good tips in there on protection.

Congratulations!!!

 

[Evan!]

congrats!

Quick note, though: you and everyone else are hereby prohibited from using the terms "preggo", "preggos", and "preggers". That sh*t is worse that "hubby".

Here is some sound advice for you from a father of a 5 month old. Brew all you can now!!!!!! It is not easy to find time to brew once the little one arrives.

 

[wildwest450]

Congrats! I can give you no fatherly advice, cause I know what makes babies and how to stop it.:cross:

 

[FireBrewer]

Quick note, though: you and everyone else are hereby prohibited from using the terms "preggo", "preggos", and "preggers". That sh*t is worse that "hubby".

Yeah but it's still doesn't even touch "keggle".

 

[michael88n]

On many counts! Your doc was wrong and you're getting a brew buddy.

This was the best book I ever read about raising kids...

Well done, aekdbop. A couple of tips for you. Babies are the most selfish creatures in the world. They don't care how tired, hungry, sore, or anything else that you are. They will squall until you service their needs. If you get angry, walk away and let the baby yell for a bit. Don't change a diaper at 3:00 AM after the 2:30 AM feeding if you're angry. They don't know any better.

Next tip. SWMBO is going to nest big time. Don't get in her way. Women have an instinct for this stuff and even if you think she's going overboard, do it her way. If you don't, she'll feel that not only aren't you supporting her, but you're actually something she has to protect the baby from. That makes her workload even greater.

Oh, and start saving now in case you too have to buy all the copies of a 'BierMuncher's Brood Gone Wild' video set.
