The wife is pregnant! And in the first month of trying, thank you very much. We told most of the family yesterday. My in-laws already have 5 grandkids, but this is the first on my side, so while the in-laws were very excited, my mom was positively explosive. The official due date is February 27th, 2008. Personally, I'm hoping the little tyke will stay in just 2 days longer and be a leap baby, which would be pretty sweet.
All tips, hints, suggestions, ideas and experiences with pregnancy and baby-related stuff is greatly appreciated.

About Me

AS kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame;
As tumbled over rim in roundy wells
Stones ring; like each tucked string tells, each hung bell's
Bow swung finds tongue to fling out broad its name;
Each mortal thing does one thing and the same:
Deals out that being indoors each one dwells;
Selves -- goes itself; myself it speaks and spells,
Crying What I do is me: for that I came.
I say more: the just man justices;
Keeps grace: that keeps all his goings graces;
Acts in God's eye what in God's eye he is --
Christ -- for Christ plays in ten thousand places,
Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his
To the Father through the features of men's faces.
Gerard Manley Hopkins

Congratulations, Nathan! We just had our first child about 6 weeks ago. My advice: sleep as much as you can while you can, read Baby Wise, and get signed up with "My Baby This Week" at www.babycenter.com/.
Well done, man. We got pregnant within two or three days after our honeymoon, and she was on the pill!
Congratulations!
As the father of two (ages 4 and 1) all I can say is: pray hard. Now.
Seriously, fatherhood is wonderful. I look forward to welcoming you into the club.
