Just found out I have my second little one on the way. I got 9 years of experience behind me so hopefully I feel like I know what I'm doing this time around... Doubt it!

Cheers gents and ladies!

    Congrats. Each kid is different so don’t expect that experience to translate completely to the new one.

    Thanks Skip. I feel like it's been so long since I had an infant I forget it all LOL.

    Congrats! Now when you're home alone with the kids, you'll be out numbered. >:) Mine are only two years apart. I remember the first time my wife went away for an afternoon. I lasted about an hour before I was begging her to come home. The youngest got sick, and while I was tending to him, the older boy was digging food out of the kitchen trashcan. I was like ahhhhhh, help!

    Nothing will be the same and everything will be as fulfilling. We have two daughters - they’re 4 years apart, completely different people, have very different interests and hobbies, but they both bring absolute joy to our family. Enjoy the ride!!! Congrats

    the real question is, was this a planned addition or beer induced?!? No judgment, I have some of both (but don't tell them that)!

    Also I have to give up the music room (not big deal really) just deciding on putting the SDAs away inside somewhere to be kept locked away until we move or put them in the garage where I can still listen to them.

    I just worry about the heat changes in a garage in Arizona.
