I'm going to be a Father!

Another word on diapers.. my wife and I use G-diapers. They are a cloth-like diaper that are re-useable. They have a cloth outer shell, a plastic inner liner, and then you can put either cotton inserts or they also have flushable inserts that are all biodegradeable.

You definitely don't need to just get huggies, there are a shit ton of options out there. I have saved probably $500 in the last year on diapers because I use cloth diapers.

Congrats!

About the diapers, they grow so fast at first that you will be changing sizes weekly sometimes. I have three kids and always ended up with leftovers that did not fit anymore.

This^ cloth diapers were what my mother used for me and all of my siblings. Just wash the mess out and run a load in the washer, that simple.

She didn't look preggers in that photo shoot. What gives?

The shoot was done last year

What happens if they lose the baby? gotta think ahead asshole

Yes, this is a reality and it happens much more than people think. She is just past her first trimester so the risk has gone down significantly but its still a risk. We pray every night for the baby's health.

That's wonderful news Ryan - you will be an awesome dad. Congratulations!!

Thanks man that means alot. I can only try my best to be as great a father as my Dad was.

Congrats Ryan! It's truly a gift.

It sure it. I know I wont fully appreciate it till the baby is finally here. It is good timing too.

Congrats, sir. Like RobertK has mentioned, having a kid isn't that bad and your life isn't "over". Most of the people who are against having kids are the ones who still have yet to grow up.

I have a 4 month old little girl and every morning when I wake up, she has the biggest smile on her face when she sees me. It's absolutely a fantastic feeling.

Yes, you will have shit sleep the first few months, but watching your child grow will make it all worth it. Stack up on diapers!! they go through them QUICK.

Agreed, Our baby was planned. We are married, in our early 30s, and have good careers. For us, this is the next chapter in our lives and I'm sure it just gets better from here. :)

Just had my first this past Jan. She's amazing! Good luck and all the best!

Do you know what you're having yet? Any names?

Congrats to you! We will find out in a couple of weeks.

thats pretty fucked up f34r, like takin it a little too far.

congrats kaildad!

Its harsh but its reality...we pray every night for the child's health. Clever name-change lol

How many months is she?
I'm having one myself...

It get's pretty hectic at times so be ready.

Congrats! I guess no one is ever really ready especially with their first one but we will try to be.

Welcome to fatherhood! First 3 months are lame.. but what's nice is the women in your life will be loving this time. After that they recognize you/learn your voice. Crawling, talking, personality, and patterns emerge. Take pictures/video often, because before you know it, like me they're 9yrs old! :O
Time w. my son keeps getting better and better.. teaching him about manhood, healthy living, and life is a daily activity these days.

Better start praying it doesn't pop out as a girl with your wife's genes.. You'll be chasing boys off your property in 16 years :D
