    I... I don't know what to do with my hands...

    So I took my father in law shooting for his first time in 15+ years, he's a former Marine and definitely didn't forget how to shoot. The cast 9mm and .308 Boolits performed very well, identified some flaws in some test powdercoats, good times had by all.

    I got home, took my guns to the shop for inspections and a quick cleaning, then my wife walks in, and she never bugs me while I'm in the shop. She just looks at me and says "S..t just got real" and handed me a positive pregnancy test.

    No one knows me here and I can't tell my family until her first appointment, so I think I'm safe, I just had to tell someone. This is our first, and she literally got off the pill two weeks ago, so I'm just shocked it happened so quick.

    Congratulations on the news dad. You are in for the time of your life. We have two and they both grown men but we still enjoy being together and I have been blessed to get to hunt with them on numerous times. I pray for a normal, healthy child for you both.

    God's greatest gift. There is nothing like it, no pain so great, no thrill so real. There is your legacy, the only ones who will remember you when you are gone.... Good for you and bless your bride.... Be extra good to her... She will need it....

    We can tell you what it's going to feel like when your child is born, but no-one can describe it adequately. I thought I was well prepared, but had no clue! The emotions you will go through will be beyond anything you've ever experienced before. The single most amazing thing I've ever felt!

    Oh, almost forgot. Your wife will likely have some amazing mood swings in the next nine months. Don't take anything personal and be very forgiving. Just love her.

    Congrats to you and the Mes! Children are one of the most precious gifts GOD can grant us! Be ready for the extreme mood swings the Mrs will all but certainly experience. When they come just hold her a little closer and tell her how much you love her and don't ever forget to let her know how special she really is!
