A new FTE'r is a comin'!

My wife of 6 months informed me just a few days ago that she's pregnant!!! She's going to the doctor tomorrow to verify that she is pregnant, but the home pregnancy test didn't even take the full 5 minutes to flash a big +.

I've been on cloud 9 since last Thursday and I can't stop grinning ear to ear. This will be our first child, but hopefully not our last. So in November, (that's what we've figured out anyway), I'll be saying hello to my son Ethan, or my daughter Kaitlin.

And the first thing I'm teaching my kid is that Ford Trucks and Pontiac Muscle Cars rule.............................................. .and they can't borrow either when they turn 16!!

Well, congratulations.

Maybe ''they'' can't borrow your Ford truck and Pontiac muscle car(s), but does that apply to FTEr's?

Better get plenty of rest now, because when the kids show up. . . the sleep goes away!!!!!


Save as much money as you can now, because "The First National Bank of Dad" will be opening up soon!!!!!

Trust me on this. I've got 4 kids. You'll be tired and penniless before you know it!

Hey big hoss 29 Congrats to you and your wife, hope things goes well for the family, if it's a girl be prepared to have you wrapped around her little finger and if it is a boy mom better be prepared to have a mommy's boy like the old saying is daddy always has his little girl and mommy always has her little son, I know this cause I have a daughter 16 yrs old and 2 sons 10 and 4 boy I have my hands full but would not trade them for all the money in the world and I could not picture my life with out all 3 of them. If I was younger I would not mind to try and have another girl so I would have 2 of each lol.I know Mike would think that I am crazy lol. But again congrats tell the wife we said congrats to. We can't forget to leave the mom out.

Thanks guys! Debbie went to the doctor today and he confirmed that she is 5 weeks pregnant. He's predicting her due date for November 21. We haven't told our parents yet but we're going to do that Sunday when we go for Easter dinner. We can't wait to see the looks on their faces when they open the Easter cards and they read that they're going to be grandparents.

And I should say that if we have a girl, teaching her that Ford Trucks and Pontiac Ventura II's rule won't be the first lesson I teach her. The first lesson I teach her is that boys are bad yucky cootie carrying poopy heads............at least until she turns 18 and then she can like them.
