Congrats man!

My girlfriends brother has one on the way. I am not looking forward to a screaming baby in the room right next to hers, haha.

Good luck!

that is super awesome. i have a daughter that is 20 months old and she is the most beautiful thing i have ever laid my eyes on her name is isabelle. and on dec 15 of this year, my wife gave birth to our second child, a boy, grant. children are th emost wonderful gift that God can give you (and your wife of course). i've learned this, that children will build your patience and test the patience that they have built. in the end its all worth it when they tell you that they love you and you are everything to that child. my daughter is my little buddy. she goes everywhere i go in the house..and if my wife's not looking, in the garage too.


definatly keep us updated!!!

Congratulations Thurs. Beautiful kids, Dave.
Enjoy them while they are young. They grow up fast.
I have twin 18 year olds. They are a gift from God. They just finished first semester in college. Daughter lost her 4K grant because she got 2 Ds. My son made the baseball team at FIU, but enjoyed South Beach way too much. 1.02 GPA for him. Lost baseball.
The greastest day of my life was the day they were born. The worst days have involved them also.
Daughter works and has a 07 Scion. She's been rear ended twice since we bought it. Son had his first car for 25 days and totaled it (other driver at fault) and cracked his elbow. We bought the second car 8 months later. It lasted 31 days before being dragged away on a tow truck. 2 years later he was riding a bike at college. Now he is sharing my GSL and truck.

Kids are tremendous, then they slowly turn into adults...very, very slowly

Ron

This thread brings a tear to my eye (sniff, sniff)...

Congrats man! Definitely one of the best things you can do with your life. It may be a little scary right now, but you'll never regret this.

Start him off on go-karts as soon as he's big enough to hold the wheel.

Congrats!!!

Babies are one of the best gifts God can give! We just adopted a baby girl in May. Her name is Gracie and I LOVE being her Dad! We put in our adoption profile that a dream of mine was to have our child help build the RX-7 and learn to drive and autocross it. I think it would be a great way to help build the relationship during the developmental years. The birthfather saw that in the profile and chose us because his favorite car was his '83 RX-7!

Post some pics when your little bundle of joy arrives!

mazdaverx713b, Your kids are beautiful!

Congrats..... It is AWESOME to get home from work and have a little one grab you by the leg and welcome you home.... NO other feeling like it.
As for me.... my oldest son turned 18 last month and my other son will be 16 in July. They are both into motorsports as I have bought them all kinds of motorized toys ( 4 wheelers, go--peds, pocket bikes, etc...) since they were 6.
My oldest son just got a 93 RX7 on his 18th B-Day with help from my wife and I. He is so happy with his new ride that he can't stop smiling..His 1st car was a 240SX that we modified BUT after driving my 94 RX7 he had to have one....He keeps wanting to drive my 85 1st gen BUT the 400 HP it has in that small package will be a learning experience he isn't ready for.... Maybe by summer time I will let him take it down the 1/4 mile...

he's a beautiful baby!! you are very blessed!! congratulations on your son. your wife must be relieved to have him out. did she give birth naturally or go with the epideral?

at least you got a bed to lay in.i got what the staff at the hospital described as the "lizard rock". it was a very hard and short pull out sofa...

Yeah she is very happy to have him out lol. And she did have an epideral (i don;t blame her..that **** looks painful lol) .......and all it took were three pushes and he was out!

Oh and that picture of me on the bed that was actually her bed...she had gotten up to use the restroom so i jumped in the bed since the shitty couch bed i was on was hard as a rock LOL!


thank you all for all the warm wishes! I love my baby boy so much!
