Congratulations! I think alot about what kind of father I will be, and when the right time to have kids will be, I'm looking forward to the day though.
Congrats man!! I'm 9 months into my first child and believe me, it's a life altering experience. save the vacation time, your girl will appreciate all the help she can get, the first 6-12 weeks are HARD, especially if she is planning on breast feeding (read up on it, it's much healthier for the baby, much harder for the mom). On the plus side, breast feeding.. MUCH cheaper than formula. If you do go with Breast feeding, find a breast feeding clinic, my wife really found going there helpful when she was learning how to breastfeed (it's an art apparently) Just don't be THAT GUY who goes with his wife to the BF clinic.. there was a few that showed up to my wife's.. yeah weird indeed. make sure you got a good camera and a big SD card, you're going to be taking lots of photos and be happy for it too. save your $$$ things the baby needs are going to spring up left right and center you'll need the cash. Once you see that baby for the first time, you're hooked. It's your child and your the one providing the love and guidance to this little one and it's an awesome feeling.
thx guys. i'm pretty hyped, although I'm beginning to get the feeling it'll cut into my drinking time somehow?
