I'm going to be a DADDY!
 

Found out for sure yesterday! :helpme

I am still pretty much in shock. She's 6 1/2 weeks along.

Any GFY parents have any advice/tips for a young parenting newbie?

I sure hope it's a boy. How long do I have to wait before we can find out?

Congrats!

Nice!
You would have to wait a little to find out whether it is a boy. I think they can tell in 4th or 5th month.
Be nice to your GF now, She would need it to handle all the changes.
Good luck :thumbsup

congrats u want a boy or girl
think or names yet

She has went into biiiiitch mode already.

And I made her quit smoking. That can't be helping things...

well except for her health and the babies. I should quit too now that I'm thinking about it.

wow... congrats!!

Well, it's only fair. I'm sure if you don't quit she's going to get reeeeeealy upset.

Congrats man...I just found out recently for myself too! Gooo us. lol :thumbsup

Congrats Daddy!!! :thumbsup

congrats, I'm actually becoming an dad myself, it wasn't planned but I'm still pretty psyched about it.

... and the real funny thing is, it's due date is the same as my brother and sister's bdays (they aren't twins they are 12 years apart) so if it's born that day it will be very weird.

and about the "bitch mode" I can totally relate to that ;) at only 2 months I already have to walk on egg shells.

So you mean it's only going to get worse? AHHH!

Congrats man ;)

Wow lots of new GFY parents...

Congrats to you too! ;)

You should quit as well. The first three months are most important for the baby-when all the developing goes on. Then the baby only gains weight.
On the other hand, if your GF smoked a lot it is not good to quit at once since it is a kind of shock for the whole body - she should ask her doctor maybe.
"biiiiitch mode" - comes and goes - should get better after the first three months. It´s awful for her when she knows she acts like a mad cow and can´t do anything about it - I can tell from my own experience. Just be nice to her no matter what she says.

congrats :)

A huge mighty congrats to ya. I seem to be the last of my single friends.

Awesome, congrat's !!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup

congrats to a new Daddy here.

That is awesome, big congrats!

good news and congrats!!!!

Arent you the guy trying to sell your PS2 to pay for food?

Congrats man... that's the best news! I still remember how I felt when I found out...

Check out www.babycenter.com for lots of great info. You can put in your expectation date, or date of conceivement... what ever... and it'll give you a break down of how your baby is progressing from week to week. It's amazing to follow the baby's growth inside! There's nothing like it!

It also helps with knowing what to expect... how you and your wife should be feeling and what to be worried about and what not to be worried about.

This is an amazing experience to go through, but can be scary. Start reading!!! :thumbsup

It was an xbox.

and I had to make up for money I lost when I lost my wallet. :disgust

All of that is in the past now though...

And thanks everyone!

Congratulations!!! :thumbsup

I don't want to put a downer on the proceedings but dont get your hopes up too high until the 12week/3month mark is reached. Me and my GF found out we were expecting about 4 weeks ago, but we lost it to a miscarriage last week -about the 9-10 week mark. :( :( Apparently it's quite common but once the 12 week point is reached and it's fully developed and it just has to grow then as long as no serious illness or trauma happens mother and baby will be fine. So we'll be trying again!!

So best of luck !!! :thumbsup

Later..
I.

Congrats on being a daddy. What a great christmas gift. My words of advice when she acts like freakzilla know she is not really mad at you it's the hormones! Keep us posted.

Congrats!! :)

Congratulations.

congrats :)

My little boy turned 6 months yeaterday.

Best advice that I can give. Start sleeping now. For the first two months you wont be sleeping much.

congrats

congratulations!! :)

congratulations and good luck!!!

Congrats it's the hardest yet most rewarding job on the planet. Good luck!

Congrats, one of the most rewarding things in life

Congrats!

congrats , its hard to kepp the excitment in and not tell everyone , but try to not get too over-hyped or if there is a problem you will be super-bummed, and even more bummed having to tell all the people who ask " how's the baby coming along "

I think 3-5 month they can tell the sex.. but don't sweat it.. infact knowing the sex makes you alot more connected ( thus alot more heratbroken ) if something goes wrong..

Congrats :)

Congrats Sic! That is an awesome feeling, isn't it?

We are 15 weeks along here. Going to try and not find out the sex for an extra surprise...LOL

Go ahead and support your girl and try to quit the cigs too... She'll really appreciate your gesture.

-tips , start buying diapers now and stash them away ( no matter how many you have you will end up going out late at night to get them ) , same goes for formula etc ..

Dont buy too much shit beforehand .. you end up buying $400 basinets that the baby hates ..

Get some massage items that your woman can use by herself ( hint hint, and yes i mean REAL massage items, like footbaths leg rollers and back shit.. or else you will get suckered into doing it all the time. )

congrats and good health to your family dude!

Thanks everyone

I have decided to cut back on smoking and try my best to eventually quit. Even though I'm not the one pregnant I know second hand smoke isn't good either.

Sorry to hear about the miscarriage, that's so sad. I hope we don't have to go through the same thing.

About the diapers, yes I plan on buying them ahead of time. I believe you can never have too many diapers.

Thanks again everyone for your kind words and advice. ;)

Congrats!

Congrads to you, its awesome! Me and my man (fucksakes) have a 3 week old son, my advice is patience, co-operate with your woman and take time for each other (im working on that one myself, lol)

Good luck and enjoy parenting, its great!

congrats to ya, its gonna be a great experience.

That's a great news...congrats :thumbsup

congrats.....

Congrats, i hope everything goes well with the pregnancy
