Default Little OT....But I'm going to be a daddy!

We had our first ultrasound on Friday and everything is progressing the way it should, so we are starting to let the news out. My wife is 8 weeks along and it looks like the due date is set for August 18th. This is our first one and needless to say, I'm excited!! We even got to hear its heartbeat on Friday...what an awesome thing.

Congratulations! Being a Dad is one of the best parts of life. My youngest of 5 is graduating high school this year. I already have the empty nest blues. Best wishes in this exciting time.

Just don't accept any baby gifts from Patrick. You'll likely end up with that solid lifter camshaft repackaged with the GM cam lube he keeps trying to pawn off on you.

Congratulations! I expect a really nice cigar, er, of the bubble gum variety, when the big event happens this summer.

God Bless you both and best wishes. As stated above, your lives will never be the same, but change so quickly as they grow you don't often have the chance to realize it. The most important thing you can give your family is your time. Slow down, figure out what's really important and pick your battles! You and your wife are two very lucky people.

Thanks Murk, those were very good words.

And thanks to you Rod. The camshaft is in the hands of its new Florida-based owner...and the EOS is in my lawnmower.

Way to go Brent! You've just begun. I have 4 grand kids out of 2 kids. Seems like just a bit ago the oldest was born. Don't blink, you'll miss something.

Congratulations. In a few years you'll have an extra pair of hands around the shop. As stated previously, get some sleep because you're in for the wildest ride of your life.

Wonderful news. You'll make a great daddy. And I've heard the delivery will go smoother if you use that cam lube I sent you. Yes sir, she'll just shoot the kid right out.
