Congrats to you and your wife. My daughter is 18 months old and she is more and more fun each day.

 

CONGRATES, it will change the way you view all things in the world.....

 

Thanks everyone! We are excited beyond words!!!!! She is ten weeks tomorrow, and at 18 weeks they can tell us boy or girl, we can't wait to find out. I keep telling my wife I need to know weather I need a blue or pink power wheels . For those of you who have kids, what are some things you wish you had known or prepared for, before the baby got home? I just want to make sure I'm as ready as I can be!

 

Congrats Chris!

 

COLIC SUCKS!!! but congrats on the good news. I have a 8 year old and a 5 year old and the are a blast to play with.

Soooooooo...gonna have to build a turbo crew cab now!!! welcome to the CC club!!!

 

If you don't sleep much now plan on losing alot of it for awhile.

 

Congrats my man! I just want you to know I'm happy for you but I'm laughing out loud right now, maybe it's the coffee but the "trying/practicing" cracked me up. haha That's awesome though!! Soon enough you'll have yourself a little helping in the garage.

Nothing better than a 1st grader bring a snap-on tool set for show & tell.

 

I've got a 7 month old beside me in the jumparoo right now, and it's way more fun than I expected. I'd advise to not buy too much furniture before they're born, and get it as you need it. The play pen was a big old waste o dinero... And don't spend too much money on cute clothes cause they outgrow them way too fast. And if you can find a car seat that will last from newborn until 30ish pounds, you can save a couple hundred bucks there too. Other than that, I can't really hand out too much advice cause I'm really lucky to have a kid who sleeps 10 to 12 hours a night, so it's way easier for me than most other people. Good luck though!
