Congratulations Mike! My son will be 20 on April 1st and he's been my pride and joy since day one. Start talking directly to him or her when they're still in the womb and they'll recognize your voice when they're born. My son had a rough birth but stopped crying as soon as I started to speak to him.

Ahh, the first child. Tons of pictures. The wonder of it all. Doting grandparents.
The second child. Not so much.
The third child. Who the hell is this kid?
Forged on the anvil of discipline.
The Few. The Proud.

Just pullin' your leg, Mike.
Very happy for you and your wife.
As I recall, you were just married this past year.
Just had my 4th grandchild born this past Sunday.
Nothing more exciting than the news of a new one on the way, or a new arrival!
All the best to you and the missus Mike! Hard to describe but your life will be forever changed the day he or she is born.My youngest is now 36(37 in another week)and all three of mine were a special event. We are now anticipating the arrival of our second great grandchild(a boy) in about a month and are just as excited as when our daughter was born in May of 1966.
