That Mick · 08-29-2007, 06:36 PM

Got some BIG new the other day, and I'm not sure what I'm feeling, except that I'm feeling a LOT of it.

I'M GONNA BE A DADDY!!!!!

And yes, we were expecting/hoping, but I think I'm still scared Heef-less about the idea of me having children....

What about the PBB, more scared or excited about your first?

Mostly disbelief, then 11 on the anxiety scale making "parental" decisions

Edit: congrats

tacoma73 · 08-29-2007, 06:43 PM

I was more excited, and I've been more excited for the last 6yrs. It's only recently that I"m more scared than excited.

Mo · 08-29-2007, 07:11 PM

in 2 years, you won't remember what it was like to be without a kid.

apeters89 · 08-29-2007, 07:12 PM

I've got no kids, but I can tell you that even if I were "planning" I'd be scared heefless myself

72blazer · 08-29-2007, 07:12 PM

I'd be more scared of all the poop that comes out of these little guys. I have a 17 month old boy and a girl on her way in November. They're totally worth it & life changing. Congrats!

PONY_DRIVER · 08-30-2007, 06:44 AM

90% scared when you find out, 90% excited when it's time to go to the delivery room. It rightly should scare the heefus out of you, but you'll be fine.

you'll love it man...

Wag Rookie · 08-30-2007, 07:03 AM

Scared Mah I laugh at you. My daughter turned 13 this year talk about scared.

fledgling666 · 08-30-2007, 07:33 AM

how about anxiety?

i was ready and waiting until the last week or so.... then i lost it, a little. then she got there and i just went into machine mode. made sure everybody had everything, constantly, neither the wife nor baby girl needed to lift a finger for the first 5 weeks, at least.

zakk · 08-30-2007, 08:36 AM

I'm sorry for your loss.

sceep · 08-30-2007, 08:38 AM

scared fuggin shitless!

i took off for about 3 hours the first time my wife told me.

i had to get my brain in order.

after that all was well.

JEEP THANG · 08-30-2007, 09:10 AM

When we found out that were were gonna have a kid the first time around, I felt anxious(sp) for about an hour. I was younger and was unsure about our future. Then reality set in and I was the most excited person in the world. Although it was not without disbelief, I took the ept thing from my wife and pissed on it just to make sure it was working. I really do not know what the hell I thought that was gonna do, but I did it anyway. But on a serious note, once you have kids you will almost not able to imagine your life without them almost.

Congratulations!!!

Yeah, last year I was gonna sign a contract with Haliburton to go back to Iraq as a civilian, 6 figure salary, figured we would have the house paid off in 1.5 years. Got to Houston, 6 days later, went in and asked for a plane ticket home. My kids are just too big of a part of my life and I missed my daughters 3rd year of her life over there, I didn't want to do it to another one.

xrayjeeper83 · 08-30-2007, 09:20 AM

Congrats, Found out last week that my wife is pregant, im about 50/50 scared and exicited

torquefreak · 08-30-2007, 09:20 AM

I am in the same boat. I also just found out last week that I will be a DAD for the first time. Looking forward to it.

76scoutman · 08-30-2007, 09:57 AM

Congrats man, it won't really start sinking in till she starts showing. At least for me it didn't. Got a couple more months and then it will REALLY sink in.

We've got a boy on the way as well. Its our first and we just started our third tri-mester.

My biggest fear is not having time to finish my chit in the garage before the crumbsnatcher shows up. There are so many things to do around the house and garage in just a couple months and I'm about to go nuts!

TEX · 08-30-2007, 09:59 AM

Congrats!!! - say goodbye to ever sleeping well again though, especially if it's a girl

Congrats!

Scary for the first few days...how can you be scared of this:

skullver · 08-30-2007, 10:59 AM

CONGRATS, I was nervous, then excited, now a year and a half later I realized that fatherhood is probably the best thing that one can experience, I'm sure it could be the worst as well at times. We have our second due in March.
Enjoy it!

vintagespeed · 08-30-2007, 01:01 PM

i was scared shitless too the first time. i had friends that had kids and they told me it'd be the best thing ever for me and that everything would work out.

sure enough, they were right. my kids are the best thing that ever happened to me.

freyguy · 08-30-2007, 01:28 PM

Congrats!! At the risk of sounding like a woman, I didn't know what to think! Happy, then scared, then happy, then scared. I was a carefree man before kids.....now, those little f'ers make me worry all the time!

Life can't get better for me. I love my boys. Screw all the nay-sayers, kids are a blessing.
