Well, today was my son's 1st birthday party. Everything went well and now my wife (and I) can can calm down. Since I am at my in-laws house and I am kind of bored I decided to post some random thoughts. I have been working 7 days a week for the past 3 months so this is the first opportunity that I have had to really sit down and reflect.

Two years ago I would have never guessed that I would be in this situation. Two houses, a loving wife, and a beautiful son. To be candid, our first pregnancy was not planned and I was scared shitless when I found out. At the time my life was in disarray and I was in no condition to be a good father or husband. But with some fear and trembling and huge lifestyle adjustment, somehow things worked out.

It's not that any of you care, but the point that I am trying to convey is that children are a wonderful thing. In my case, my son forced me to part with my less than productive tendencies and step up as a man. So if any of you guys are on the fence about the whole "children" issue, I have to say that although the cost is great, the rewards are even greater. Perhaps the gratest reward of all.

That's all I have to say about that.

[QUOTE="imported_SuXoR, post: 153662, member: 7931"] Well, today was my son's 1st birthday party. Everything went well and now my wife (and I) can can calm down. Since I am at my in-laws house and I am kind of bored I decided to post some random thoughts. I have been working 7 days a week for the past 3 months so this is the first opportunity that I have had to really sit down and reflect. Two years ago I would have never guessed that I would be in this situation. Two houses, a loving wife, and a beautiful son. To be candid, our first pregnancy was not planned and I was scared shitless when I found out. At the time my life was in disarray and I was in no condition to be a good father or husband. But with some fear and trembling and huge lifestyle adjustment, somehow things worked out. It's not that any of you care, but the point that I am trying to convey is that children are a wonderful thing. In my case, my son forced me to part with my less than productive tendencies and step up as a man.
