    Whoa! My wife took a preganancy test this morning and it was positive! We've been trying for a while now, and it was getting to the point where I wasn't really expecting her to get pregnant. Anyway, now I'm a little nervous. I mean, I'm going to be a dad!!! WTF? Me, a dad? I mean, yeah, we talked about this, and yeah, I agreed that I wanted to have children, but then after several months of trying to get pregnant and not getting pregnant, I had kind of become reacclimated to the idea of not being a parent.

    Of course, that's kind of besides the point now. I have approximately 38 weeks remaining to re-reacclimate to the prospect of being a father again. I mean, I'm excited, I'm happy, and I'm putting on a smiling face for Mrs. Idiot, but at the same time, I'm finding the thought of this rather un-nerving. Is this normal?

    You'll do fine. Job one - stop smoking. ;)

    No, seriously, just read up and don't be afraid to ignore any advice that doesn't sit well with you, or to change your approach when something doesn't work. There are zillions of resources out there.

    Oh quit doubting yourself...up until right now, I always thought you *had* kids! :p

    Besides, it's *ME*, along with several members here, that should be saying that when my wife eventually gets pregnant. :p :rolleyes:

    Congrats BTW! :beer: :rolling:

    Congrats, Aldeth, I think most people finding out they are pregnant go through the WTF? phase. ;)

    Good one, Aldeth. And you're right to be nervous. You probably have no idea how to be a Dad. But I'm sure you'll bluff your way through. The rest of us did!

    Kids are a pain, but they do give your life some weighty purpose though, so that's good. And make sure you spend the next 38 weeks doing all the things that you won't be able to do as easily again (like go out to dinner and movies with your wife, play 4 hour Civilisation marathons, sleep in, etc).

    For a life-altering event like having a child? Of course a little apprehension is normal. But I know when you look that kid in the eye for the first time, you'll be ready. :) Good luck and may whatever deity or deities you believe in bless your child.
