Happy to hear all is good!!!!

That's so awesome Brad! Glad to hear everything is well!

[Brads55]

Well the time is getting real close now. Exactly 5 weeks from today is the due date. Starting to get real nervous.....

[Dacubs?]

hope you got that baby room ready, crib put together and amanda's baby bag ready to go...hopefully, all goes well and the baby stays in the oven for a little while longer, but ya never know...

our first was 3 weeks early, the day after the delivery, I was at home putting the crib together and buying our first video camera (which stunk, since I was rushed and didn't do enough research)

good luck

My wifes water broke at Food Lion the first time. The second time her water broke 3 weeks early, we got to bring home our son on Christmas eve.. Crazy but great and wonderful times.

Congrats man. I cried like a little girl for the birth of both of my kids.. Such an amazing thing man.

No need to be nervous, just happy. Hope all goes well.

My wife was the nervous one when we had our first child. She was nervous because the doctor told me I could hang out in the doctors lounge until it was time for the delivery, and that he'd come get me in plenty of time so I wouldn't miss anything. He said there was a TV in the lounge and free popcorn. My wife told him that he wouldn't get me back - it was a Monday night and a baseball game was on (Giants v. Cardinals) AND FREE POPCORN. By the way, I did get back with plenty of time to spare.

Enjoy this time.

I bet you both are getting nervous. I hope that the baby and everyone else will be healthy.

kids r gr8 dude! they r even better when they leave home, lol. the grandkids r even better yet cuz u can spoil them and send them home.

[OriolesFan]

tndcollectables - you can't always send them ALL home. Sometimes grand kids LIVE with their grandparents.

Baby room is totally ready to go and her baby bag is setup by the front door. My main challenge in all of this is I need to work until March 26th before I will qualify for my Family Medical Leave of Absence (you need to work "X" amount of hours with the company before you can qualify). So I really hope she's not more then 2 weeks early.

hang in there buddy.....and just remember.....there's three or four more to follow after this little guy!

Ummm, no chance dude. I'm gettin snipped once I see the baby is all healthy.

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

so far havent had that happen (knock on wood).

[OriolesFan]

I have. My wife and I are raising our oldest grandson (he's now 9 1/2). His mother, our youngest daughter, went home to God almost 8 years ago (5/29/03). We also baby sit our 4 1/2 year old pre-schooler (M-F). We have 5 grand kids, but only one lives with us. It keeps us moving. I'm helping coach the 9 1/2 year olds baseball team, gets me a little tired (but it's fun). Raising a boy is definitely different than raising three daughters.

Brad, get ready for a new, overall enjoyable (with its ups & downs), and totally different life once the little one arrives. God Bless.
