Dog help us, I've doomed us all.

  Wife decided to tell me the other day that I should cancel all the vacation plans I was making for september. Keep in mind, the plans I was laying out were for her 35th b-day present. Either we go to Hawaii fo a week or do a tour of the 4 corners area for 2 weeks, since we're both off at that time.
 I couldn't figure out WTF was wrong w/ her. She was really excited about doing either and all of a sudden she wants nothing to do w/ it? That's when she dropped the bomb................................... ..........

  She's approximately 3 weeks pregnant!  

A few months earlier than planned, we were hoping to make this happen after her b-day, but nothing we can't handle. I just feel bad she's gonna miss out on a well deserved trip. Oh well, I'll just have to make it up to her on her 40th! As far as being a parent, I can only hope to do as good a job as mine did.

That is great news, Ed!  Being a dad is everything I thought it would be, and more (good and bad).  I wish you and your wife the best.

[Deuces]

Congrats!!!!!!!!!! I wish you and your family the best of luck!

 I just feel bad she's gonna miss out on a well deserved trip.

I'm sure you'll have almost as much fun without her.  

[evilmedic13]

I'm sure you'll have almost as much fun without her.  

 She's still encouraging me to take my Alaska trip, so you are probably right.

Remeber get them riding at three years old racing at five and who knows from there.

[DavidLSI]

Congratulations....

That may be a test..don't fail it!

I fail the "you can still go if you want to" test all the time.  

Besides, you'll have a newborn right about that time. I would guess that you probably won't even want to leave even if you have the opportunity.

The beginning of a new adventure (nods to Lou Reed) -- very cool news, congratulations . . . .

I, too, fail the "go ahead if you want to" test regularly -- the good news is that after the first couple/three dozen, it stops mattering to anyone .  . . ..

another soul to love -- what fun!

[CLAY]

Awesome man- congrats.  Did you have have the "Holy-crap-what-have-we-done" moment yet?  I remember that clearly.  Live is comfortable, everythings good, and suddenly this massive change.  It's awesome though- they are a blast.  I spent a large part of yesterday wrestling and generally hanging out with my 2-year old boy (Mom and the 5 year old girl were doing "crafts").  

[R.Markus]

Did you have have the "Holy-crap-what-have-we-done" moment yet?

I had that moment when I was 17.

Oooooohhhhhh yes you will.


Congrats, BTW.

[R.Markus]

Oooooohhhhhh yes you will.

 

[CBRXXBLACKBIRD]

So ah when ya selling the bike???  

[Leanintree]

Oooooohhhhhh yes you will.

Congrats, BTW.

Remember there Mr, he hasn't practiced this situation 15 times now... the first time is adorable, the second is special, 3-5 are annoying and 6-15 are "Did something happen?" territory.  

What number do you decide that sheep are suitable?

[bluepoof]

Congratulations!!!!!

[Scottyfizz]

The 1st one is the hardest. Keep practicing and you'll have a few more

Congrats.

[Baz]

Congrates  


If I were you though, I would take the Alaska trip because right after this one, you are probably going to get the "We can't just stop at one, and I am not getting any younger speech.

But I wouldn't trade being a parent for anything.

Congrats.  

 My wife found out she was 4 weeks pregnant...2 weeks after our trip to Deals Gap.    Now we know why she was getting a little sick halfway through the Dragon from all the turns.  At least I was taking it easy and riding a nice smooth pace.

It took a few months to sink-in that I would be riding solo for at least a year and might only get in a few short trips now and then.

[schoon]

Congrats!

[Max Wedge]

...and that's another way to get some one to ride with.   Worked for me!

Congrats!!!!

[evilmedic13]

 Thanks all, the wife and I appreciate it. Now if I can just be as good a parent as I hope to be. We're telling my dad this weekend, I'll have an ambulance on standby, just in case the shock is too great for him.

[Fourstring]

What, are you just going to stop by after work?  

Congrats!

[coopdway]

Hey, I'm not sure I can help y.......oh, OK, you're looking for DOG.  I see now.

You'll be fine, since little steps go big places given time.

Agreed!!!!!!!!  I totally failed my test as well.  My daughter was 2 weeks late...and I had a trip planned 6 weeks after she ended up being born.  My ex-wife told me "you can still go if you want"...well, I went.  Was a major first step leading towards our divorce.  

Details around the trip: was only 4 days (one out, two there, one back)
My then mother in law was staying at my house...enough said.

[phoenix]

 Now if I can just be as good a parent as I hope to be.

Sounds like you are already half way there, since you DO give a shit and are looking forward to it. Congrats!

We stopped at 1. I was scared enough, probably.

[mxvet57]

wouldn't it be ironic if it was twins.

Congratulations! Being a parent is a wonderful thing.
