CONGRATS cheater, i have one on the way due in September. I can't wait. I've got the carrier hanging in the closet. My office is being turned into a baby's room. I have 4 tv's in here all cabled up to watch games GONE.
WHAT's the best set-up for a laptop. Where I can go about the house wireless, this could be a good thing, Sitting by pool making bets, AHH the bright side. I allready have a TV mounted to the house on the Lanai for watching sportscenter.

congrats cheater and 5team as you become fathers..
let me tell ya . its the greatest thing ever invented.. i have a 9 year old.
when you tuck them in at night , you cant wait until morning so you can see them and hug them again.
i drop her off at school and the 6 1/2 hours cant go by fast enough until i am there to pick her up..
i love every second of being a dad.. i hope you do too...
p.s. a losing wager wont seem such a big deal anymore when they come in the room and say hi dad ..

Cheater-
I have an 8 week old. I NEVER thought I would be into the fatherhood thing but it is pretty cool so far. BTW, I have the Baby Bjorn...it's pretty gay but very useful.
Robfunk-
I'm in my 30s. One reason I decided to start the family now is that I really didn't want to be an old man trying to keep up with a teenager.

Having my first child at 34, at 31 i was not ready and can't say I would have seen myself in the postion I am in now. I found the right person which is very important, and I am much more financially set and am more mature than when I was in my 20's. The only gambling I do is on sports. For some reason though I feel there is more of a stigma on sports betting than going to a casino and playing table games or going to the horse track. I have way more control over the sports thing and it is far less time consuming than driving to the local casino and spending hours there IMO.

I had a really bad day at work, but I picked my kid up at day care and everything goes away!
your not gay at all for wearing it cheater...your more a man then most for doing that ...your children are the most important thing and trust me they grow very fast....enjoy them while them are young..

My kid's pediatrician said the same thing.
In order to drive a car you have earn your license. When you buy a car you get a 300 page manual.
When you have a kid, the hospital says congratulations and sends you on your way (after a couple of classes).
My view is that there are 17 year old idiots in the hoods and trailer parks who manage to raise a child, I think I should be able to figure it out.

Swami, they don't raise their children, tax payers do...
We are also in the same boat as you guys ... My wife is a nurse; she reads all the baby books and it helps to a certain extent...
Swami, is your child sleeping through the night yet? we are getting 7 hour stretches at the most and he is 3 months.

NOT EVEN CLOSE!!!
My little guy can sleep 4-5 hours at a time but we can't seem to get him to:
1) Do it every night and
2) Sleep longer than that.
When did he start sleeping 7 hours at night? What is the secret?
We've tried putting him on a schedule but much of what we've been told is that he is too young to accept and be on a schedule. Most say that one day he will "get it" and start sleeping through the night.
