The New Arrival

Welcome to ATS, Jacob! You are a real cutie. I hope your mom is doing well too.

Your life has forever been changed, OP. Before long he will be sticking things into sockets and flushing valuables down the toilet. Time for dad to brush up on his plumbing skills. But don't fret. As things go down the drain, he will enchant and charm you with a squeal of delight and accomplishment. How do you think the great Houdini got his start?

In the meantime, grab all the sleep you can get.

Mom is doing just fine.

Scary is a bit mild from my perspective, but this is my first. Emotional roller coaster is a great way to describe what i feel.

With that said, WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO.

Well i find myself quite ignorant, but that self acknowledgment means i spend my time changing that fact, one experience at a time.

Thanks, i will do my best.

I wish you the best of luck in finding that person.

Congrats! Beautiful boy you made there

As I said earlier the name Jacob is good(the same one I chose) for the reasons below.

As a parent you have no way of knowing what your child may be in life, this name is good in all varients.

Jacob: Lawyer(soliciter), banker, doctor, the kind of man you could trust.

Jakey: Carpenter, builder, electrician, boat builder. the kind of bloke that you can rely on.

Jake: Bounty hunter, problem solver, vampire removal specialist. the friend you need in a crisis.
