re: Is there any better experience than the birth of your 1st child?

Congrats Man!!!!!

Sounds like you will be one of the good ones!



My first is due Sept 22nd. I can't wait man. Every day I get more and more anxious and he is only 17 1/2 weeks along. Found out he was a boy last week. I am giddy right now. I want him to get big enough to start kicking and punching so I can play with him through my wife's stomach somehow.

I would have loved a girl like nothing else on this planet. When I imagined having a daughter I always saw her as my sunshine.

But a boy is special to a dad in a different way than a girl. It's your line, it's a connection to your ancestors, it's a best friend, it's a hunting buddy, a golf buddy, a football buddy. You can teach him everything you have learned about being a man, from whoever taught you and whatever you learned the hard way. I can't wait to pass on my life's lessons, or those from my grandfathers and father. I want him to be better than me. Achieve greater, love harder, and actually use the tools God has given him. I love him more than should be possible at this stage. It is unimaginable that people abort something this far along. I've seen him yawn, rub his eyes, and kick while doing cartwheels. All thanks to amazing technology.

Ronan Artillery, can't wait to meet him.
