Wow Zach, just seeing this now!  A HUGE congrats to you and the wife, fantastic news.  I'm sure I've said before on here, but there is absolutely no better experience in life than being a Dad.

And congrats from me as well!  Something tells me you will have a blast being a dad; you have a lot of knowledge to share... once the kid's done pooping its pants, that is.   ;D

The kid's first word is gonna either be "MGB" (OK, technically not a word) or "Trans Am."

Great news Firm, Congrats to you and Christi! Be sure to go for a good vacation before the baby comes!  Think we need to start a poll gentlemen, what car he should sell first!

I was actually shocked to hear that parents haul their kids around all weekend to sports tournaments and such.  One of my co-workers just the other day said she was ok with her kid's team losing on Sunday morning because otherwise it would have made for a long Sunday.  And they had just spent all of Saturday at the rink too!
Are you Canadian?

Not yet.

Are you from Bombay?

Touché!

He mentioned a possible 2nd car that has anchors.  Besides kids are in those things for at least 5 year.  And they are going to have more than one!  ;D

Congrats Firm (and spouse)! Welcome to parenthood (soon).

All ya'all complaining about having a kid in hockey...it's a blast!  I never played sports either, but we spent quite a few years and a lot of gas money hauling just one kid around for hockey.  I wouldn't have given it up for anything.  Met some super nice people...winter went by a lot faster in anticipation of the next game...it's not so bad.  Some days I wish we still had a reason to go to the rink.  OTOH...he quit playing last year (so 2 seasons now) and I don't miss spending all that money on gas now either!  ;D

...if he's going to sell one car...can I start the bidding at $2500 on the '85 T/A?  ;D   Seems fair for a 33 yr old car.  Right?  ;D  I mean I have to fly in and drive home, too.

Nope, just a character from my favourite movie. I spend a lot of time in hockey rinks  ;)

Congrats, you two!  Looking good, pregnant and happy!   :thumbup: :banana: :bounce:

I wish you both the best.  Enjoy the next few years; although full of challenges (small and large), they will be among the best and most important with the wee one.

Speaking of July, Mrs. Random and I are expecting grandchild #2 in July!  Grandson #1 turned 1 about 3 weeks ago.
