Hey guys, I just found out that God has blessed my wife and I. We just found out my wife is about five weeks pregnant!! So I'm going to be a dad...wow! Kinda scared/excited but who wouldn't be ya know. Anyways I just felt like telling yall. Oh and don't worry, I won't have to sell the truck or anything LOL. This is awesome, I've always wanted a family and an ole' hotrod to work on!!!

 

Wow, congrats!

 

Congratulations.. God is good.
Children are a blessing... (some days you just have to have faith...)

 

Tremendous congrats!

 

They're kinda like old trucks except they don't come with a manual. Cost a lot, constantly fixing something, can't seem to get them to work, etc. Don't worry about that though, cause everybody will have tons of advice for you.

Smile politely and say 'thank you' - then ignore 99% of it. Do what seems right to you and the missus and it'll be good........ until Jr Hi....... Of course, this is all tongue-in-cheek

Happy for you both! I'm into collecting grandkids - they're even more precious.

 

Congrats man!! thats sweet! Start em young with the old cars and trucks. so soon you can have a shop buddy

 

congrats ! they're fun till they get to be about twelve ........welll.............

 

Woohoooo!!!! A big round of frosties!!!

You do know that you have approx 8 months to buy all the major components for your truck don't you?

I know, I know, little woman says that you can keep your hobbies and the new ankle-biter won't interfere, and I'm sure she even means it. But (there's always a but isn't there??) Life will creep up on you and the next thing you know, your like the rest of us family men/truck guys. You'll scrimp and save, hoarding away every little last bit of spare change while pouring over the latest old truck catalog. Your heart is set on the new (insert name here of desired part) and just when you are finally ready to make the order BAM!!!!!!
There will be a doctor's appointment, or the doctor's appt from last month ate up the money for the car insurance that is due this month, or a whole mini van of well meaning in-laws shows up to visit and you watch your hard saved pennies being eaten up by Cousing Mable everytime she goes to the fridge or her young offsprings leaving half emptied cans of soda-pops laying about the house. Or, "Ooops, Honey we'r eout of daipers can your run down to the store?" she will say witht he cute little smile on her face while holding young "pride of your eyes" in her arms........

....everytime you turn around those little things are always demanding some kind of attention...clothes, food, love, cleaning, fluids checked, er, um...well, you get the picture

I'm just pulling your leg a bit here. Yes, you can keep your truck hobby, there will just be some times where progress really slows as other things take precedent. Welcome to family life! You'll find a way to balance it

Give the little woman a squeeze from all of us

he's right i've got five of 'em from 10 to 25 and three grandbaby's and i've been in cheap mode for so long i dont know what i'd do with any amount of money to do as i please with for my toys . the girls , three of 'em and the g-babies are the worst . somehow they discovered fashion ......... it's really not that bad ...... till the girls discover the opposite sex , then ....................... you gettin' nervous yet ? LOL the two boys are the mostest fun as they're like me ...............i dont know if thats a good thing on second thought ..... hee hee

 

Hey man, that's great!!! GOD IS GOOD!!!! My wife and I are trying for one right now!! We already have one (Victoria) the next one will be named Shelby Carrol! (if it's a girl,) and Daniel Wayne (if it's a boy) My dad says we'r not doin it right since we haven't got any news yet, but at least the practice part is FUN!! My lovely wife says I have to build my panel truck so we can all go to shows in it!! Plus I can't get rid of my 56 F100 either!! She's a KEEPER!!


Congrats again!! Dont forget to teach them about Ford trucks!! Thanks GOD for all His blessings!!

GOD bless

 

AMEN AMEN!!! God is good!!! My wife, too, is expecting. I think she's about 10 or 11 weeks now. Our second. I have to agree w/ the advice here of the dad-toy funding. My advice, separate account. It's precisely how I'm growing a fund even amidst the prenatal expenses. All of this is small beans though.

Praying for health for ours and yours!!!

That's great news. My wife just had twin boys on 11/25. They are a true blessing. Good Luck.

 

Hey! How about that? Babies popping up everywhere.............


.........no wonder you guys aren't getting anything done on your trucks - are you getting the bedroom mixed up with the shop??

Congrats all around!

 

Not to hijack this thread, but I can already tell my boys are gonna like trucks, because my toyota pickup is 4 cylinder with a 2 chamber flowmaster and they seem to enjoy the sound of it. When she was still pregnant i would take her to her doctor appointments in it just to see how they responded and they would kick like crazy. Btw, I haven't been in the garage for atleast a month. Good luck and start buying diapers, bottles, wipes early.

 

Thanks guys, I really appreciate all of your kind words and advice.
