Congrats, best thing that ever happened to me....other than the divorce. He's sitting right beside me now bc he's out of school. Soak it in!

I genuinely get happy for men who are excited to have kids.

Congratulations. Hopefully baby mama doesn’t bolt on you with your kid in the coming years.

Congrats! It’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. My wife is amazing. Be there for her. Going from zero to 1 is an adjustment. Well worth it.

Had my first 3 months ago. Wouldn’t have it any other way. You’ll figure it out.

Congrats. You will be fine. Funny story. We took all of the classes leading up to birth about breathing, etc. During labor I was helping with her breathing and after awhile she looked at me and said if you tell me to breath one more time I will cut your nuts off. Funny then and now.

You will figure out the rest as you go.

You'll be good buddy ! ! !
First time Dad at 48 (yes, planned). Now chasing a 7 year old at 55. It's all good!. Your life WILL change, but for the better! Your relationship with your wife WILL change, but for the better! ! Your relationship with everything WILL change, but only for the better!!
Reach out to friends, even TD friends who have been in your shoes, navigated tough times, and figured it out!
Cherish EVERY DAY going forward, the individual days may drag out and take forever, but the cumulative time flashes by. Can't believe my kiddo is already 7.

The first year sucks. Know that going in and it won’t be as bad.

When you hold your child, you will understand the greek word “agape” - unconditional love. It is awesome. Congratulations!

First, congratulations!

Second, support your wife for the next nine months.

Third, be the best father you can be.

Don't have to be perfect. Just do your best and do what's right by your family.

You will rise to the occasion. Just like you already did in September.

Seriously though, when you see the beautiful baby for the first time, you’ll know what to do. Congrats!
