Thread: Good god... still in shock

Well congrats there young man. Get ready for one of lifes greatest adventures.

Well, I am still in shock. My wife is surprised. I think once she gets over the shock, she'll start to look forward to it. We were teetering on not having children at all. So, it is a surprise.

I'll have to cut back on shooting now to save money. And, I'll also have to get a gun safe in about a year.

My mom stated she'd buy all the nursery stuff for us.

Man... a lot to think about...

CONGRADULATIONS, SW!! I remember the day I heard the news very well.

Be SURE you’re AT THE DELIVERY; it’s something you’ll never forget.

Congrats.

What happened to the good ol' days when the father stayed in the waiting room

Only wimps do that now days. But seriously, be there you’ll never regret it. I promise.

I didn't think I would be able to handle it (jury is still out - 2 daughters aged 13 and 15 so I've got about 8 more years to see how they turn out) but I found myself growing sufficiently to meet requirements.

Its both the grandest of adventures and potentially the most harrowing. Your life is *truly* no longer just your own. The highs in your life will be much higher with your children, the lows, well, can be pretty low. Marriage involves two people for a reason. If you take proper care and devote to it enough time, your partnership can reach levels you've never dreamed of, and that's good, because your family deserves it...

Enough. Cigars and brandy all 'round. Gentlemen, I give you Papa Shipwreck!

You are nowsentenced to 18 to life. Congrads, many have lived threw it before. Advise most parents spend 2 years teaching the child to walk and talk then 16 years telling them to sit down and shut-up. Keep working on your aim in case it is a girl. Great news, enjoy, get plenty of sleep now you will need it soon enough.

Congratulations!!!

That is awesome! Congrats! You always complained about how expensive it is the shoot the .45. With a kid it may be time for another scale down! Maybe a P22?

Yea, no kidding

After this weekend (I already have plan), i"m gonna have to scale back to once a month or less. We needa start saving

Congratulations SW! Kids are great, I am happy for you and your wife. It is nice to have a shooting buddy and someone to pass your guns on to.

Congrats Ship!!!!

My wife felt our baby move for the first time last night.......kinda neat for her...tears, laughter, the whole nine yards. I just kinda sat there and let her do her thing.

Way to go! My wife is currently working on #2, due in May. You're going to love it. But you're shooting budget is going to be converted to the diaper budget.

So if it is a boy are you going to call him Boatwreck?

Nah, I think we'll go with "Bazooka Joe"

He'll have fun with a little wrecklet crawling around the house.

I like your new sig line:

"Life passes by in a flash, yet people vie and compete with each other over the P99. How much time do we have? There is very little room, yet the P99c fits in my cargo pants' pocket." - Reflections on the Taowreck.

Congrats Ship!
