Great News!

Well as some of you may know my wife is pregnant with our first. She had her first ultrasound on tuesday, and we found out it's gonna be a little guy!

I know this may not seem like much, but I am psyched! Sorry I just had to tell people.

60 % of the time, it works every time.

Congrats! Becoming a father is the best feeling in the world. The only problem is that your time fishing will decrease and your time handling poopy diapers will increase. But, it's worth every minute of it.

Without a doubt the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. Congrats Johnny!!! It really is a blast.

Thumbs up Congrats on your new life!

I say that with a smile because life as you know it is soon to be over. Soon you will understand why a parent tells everone they know when the child uses the potty for the first time. Its a moment to remember. They grow up fast. Enjoy every minite.

Life as you know it won't exist for much longer is right!

New milestones for you- no more bottles to boil, throwing away the Diaper Genie, recycling the last sippy cup!

CONGRATS- Nothing feels as great as being a father!

Good for you and the little lady. Enjoy and savor every moment they grow oh so fast. I still can't believe my little girl will be eight this year. Where has the time gone. Here's to a happy and healthy bouncing baby boy, and stock up on sleep while youcan

JohnyD congrats on the new little one. I just became a Grandfather for the first time last month. Put a rod holder on his new stroller I bought.

Now you need to make some plugs for his mobile, and don't forget to let mrstriper know when your son is born that counts as a birthday.

Having kids is the best thing that ever happened to, although they do take time away from fishing.

Congrats!
My little guy just turned 6 today, having a big party tomorrow.
Like everybody says, they do grow up really fast, don't know where the time has gone. It has been a blast.
