I've always hated the acoustics of the room anyway. I'd much rather play downstairs in the kitchen, just as long as my son learns to stop knocking my guitars over on purpose. BTW, he doesn't really enjoy my guitar playing anymore. He'd rather wrestle with me or the cat, throw things or try and figure out how to dismantle/destroy things. I think the kid's gonna be a Navy Seal! They do like to knock things over, don't they? It's actually good. Teaches them "cause and effect".

Wrestling with your kid is one of the truly great things in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members theGOOCH Posted October 10, 2006 Members Share Posted October 10, 2006 I guess I'm checking in late here. Congrats! We "professional" dads have to stick together.I have a two year old boy and an 8 month old daughter. It can get busy at times, but still better than working for the man (definitely more rewarding) ....plus working gets in the way of your guitar playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sweb Posted November 4, 2006 Members Share Posted November 4, 2006 I have 2 boys. It means that they will reuqire the same guitars or arguments will ensue. Congratulations. Names? My personal favorite was Starbuck Aloisios but had to keep with the tradition of naming after the grandfather or be disinherited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Hudman Posted November 5, 2006 Members Share Posted November 5, 2006 Originally posted by WaveRay Congratulations, guys....but you do, of course, know that guitars are cheaper than kids. Very true. I am constantly buying clothes and shoes. Then there is the doctor visit co-pays and perscription co-pays. Let's not forget about recreational expenses (soccer, dance, skating, basketball, band, Girl Scouts, etc, etc). The kicker? I still have to worry about college tuition I don't care how much they cost me. I love my kids more than anything in the world. I'm thankful that we have them. Congrats Neil! I am told that boys are easier than girls when they become teenagers. You only have to worry about one teenage boy when your son becomes a teenager. You have to worry about every teenage boy when your daughter becomes a teenager. My daughter is going to be 11 in a few months. I'm not looking forward to her teen years.....

I could name him after my dad who had the perfect guitar player's name: Chet. I'm a noob on this forum and late to this thread, but wanted to offer my congrats and wishes for a smooth pregnancy and delivery. You are creating new curves in timespace. Radical! I'm done though. I have a 16 year old stepson and two daughters of my own who just turned 7 and 8. We love our kids to death but after our last was born, my wife and I BOTH got fixed. Quite enough, thank you! (And we have ZERO extra room at the moment...) Say, may I ask: we are looking to relocate as soon as I get my master's degree (about 6 weeks!) and I am curious about the Pittsburgh area. Know anything about Latrobe or Lingonier or Greensburg? Any areas to recommend? I mean, I don't know if I can find a job in PA but that state is appealing to us (almost anyplace being better than where we are...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members learn'r Posted November 6, 2006 Members Share Posted November 6, 2006 Hey Congrats to both of ya's."Granpa" myself now. Baby makin' days were good days - watching them grow, trying to give something for keeps was a challengesitting back and watching what you did repeated with your grandchildren is past priceless.I raised mine without the lady of the house - so count all your blessings - and I'll join the rest who offer prayers of thanksgiving for ya's.oh, be real glad if you still have guitars and time to pick them up.I just started playing again after a long long break. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hudman Posted November 12, 2006 Members Share Posted November 12, 2006 Originally posted by JasmineTea Ok, who's next? Me? Well Kwak and Whalebot, it looks like I'm in your club.....The wife was having female problems. Her period wouldn't stop. She went to her doctor Thursday. The doctor determined that she was pregnant and that there was a good chance she was having a miscarriage. They sent her to the hospital emergency room for an ultrasound and further evaluation.6 hours later they determined the baby was OK and that she was apprx. 7 weeks pregnant (she should have the baby in June). They told us that some women bleed while pregnant. Due to the bleeding and my wife's age (35), they are treating it as a high risk pregnancy (more exams, no lifting, lot's of rest, etc).Needless to say we were shocked to discover she was pregnant. Now we are very concerned about the health of the baby. We were lucky with our first two children (6 year old son and 10 year old daughter). The pregnancies went smooth. Back to the world of diapers, formula and baby gates.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sweb Posted November 12, 2006 Members Share Posted November 12, 2006 Advanced age pregancy is something to stay very aware during her entire time. If she is normally an active person throw some chains on her. We lost one. Very sad. Even now I wonder about the child who never was. She should remain as sedate as she can. Good luck to you both.
