<mx:AddChild> I'm going to be a dad!

Apr 06, 2009

I apologize for the horrible geeky tie in, but I couldn't avoid this one. I've just been overwhelmed with joy that my wife is 12 weeks pregnant which means I will be a first time dad in Oct.

Of course this also means that if anyone has any side work that they are looking to get done, I could really use to pick up some extra Flex or ColdFusion work in the meantime :)

It still feels semi-dream like, but this brings realty into full light!Ultrasound at 11 Weeks

Congrats!! I just had my first 7 months ago...it's a trip but I'm loving every minute of it. Some words of advice, if I may:

- The best piece of advice I got beforehand was "sleep NOW". Enjoy that while you can, you have been warned ;)

- no matter how many classes you take or books you read in advance, nothing will prepare for when they hand you your baby for the first time, and it's your turn to take care of it.

- don't listen to anyone else's stories or advice :)

Congratulations Russ!! Having only been a dad for 2.5 years I can tell you it is both frightening AND amazing. I've had some of the scariest and absolute best times of my life. I'm real happy for you and your wife.

Way to go, Russ! We welcomed our first dude last March & have El Segundo due in July. I think you'll love the experience.

Hey Russ, Jason, your neighbor from around the corner in the cul-de-sac, how are you? Seems you've been very busy since the last time I checked out your site. So let me start by congratulating you on your marriage to your lovely wife, your new baby Boxer and lastly the pregnancy!!! I know, your just doing your part for the economy... Seriously, good luck and stay focused.
