You can handle it, but I understand about the scared feelings. My daughters are 14 and 16 and we finally realized this year that keeping Christmas simple is the best. You don't have to overwelm them with gifts for them to know you love them.

Brian, yea she did. But honestly she was going to get a car eventually anyway. Timing just happened and Christmas worked out. I just always told my wife we didn't need to do so much for X-Mas and outside of the car we really had a small X-mas. Okay, I know, a car but honestly after 16 years we both realize it really can be simpler.

Congrats. Our second is due in March. I was scared to death when I found out my wife was pregnant. It is the happiest day of my life when she was born though. She will be 3 in May and I have been having the time of my life with her. This book is very helpful to new parents. It tells you what to expect each month. My wife buys this book for all of her friends that are pregnant.

I'd stop after this one... The work to fun ratio goes down exponentially when you go from one to two...
My daughter is six and a real pleasure. She likes to fish, hike, camp.. My son is two and all he likes to do is hurt people, throw stuff and generally 'jerk the emergency brake' on just about everything... I'm sure he'll get better, but he is the epitome of 'terrible two'...

thats great but I think you should do 2 more EPT test, just to make sure. 3 is ok, but 5 positive test would be better, just to make sure
Congratulations FIVE?!?! ...wow...yer really cuttin' into my fishin' budget!!!

You think that is cutting into your fishing budget, wait till you start buying diapers, bottles, formula, baby clothes, and all the other stuff that goes with it.
Congrats however, they are all worth it.

Congratulations. I see your wife is like mine was and dropped a c-note on multilpe tests, just to be sure.  David book suggestion is a good one for mom. I'd suggest this one for yourself. Have fun and don't worry too much.

I have 4 and love them more every day. When you hear da da the first time i don't care how tough you are a tear will come to your eye. My youngest is 1 and he makes my day every day. He reaches for me when i come into the door and gives me a hug. Its the most awesome feeling ever. Its even better than catching a 10 lb. bass.

Brooksido,
Congrats...you are going to LOVE it. We have a 2 1/2 year old and 4 month old. I would not trade it for anything. (What you hear about the sleep deprivation is true) but it is so worth it. Once they are hear you will not know what you ever did before they got here. And do not be nervous. You will be amazed how much God has you wired to naturally know what to do.
God Bless
Josh

Congratulations to you, wife and family. It is truly a blessing; it'll be like Christmas everyday.
And we got a picture frame for Christmas. The picture was of a sonogram. My son is having his first baby so I'll be a grand daddy again.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! My son turned 3 a couple days ago and is a wonderful little boy. His little sister is due May 18th  It's an eye opening change...but one that I would not give back for anything in the world. Many times I'll just sit and watch our son....they can be so goofy...it's hilarious. Fatherhood is the best. Enjoy it!
