did the birth control fail?

She was getting the shot which last what 3 months I think and I dunno it ran out and we were being careless.

Well, it's probably for the best. In 10 years your son will be able to show you how to use punctuation in your sentences. :thumbsup:

Congrats dude!

May I ask how old you and your gf are?

My girlfriend got pregnant at 20, I was 22... It was really fvcking hard, but 9 years later we're still in love and have three beautiful, wonderful kids.

Your youth is not the biggest obstacle you'll overcome in having a successful family.

16 and 17. Sometimes, youth is a pretty damn big hurdle.

Anywho, I'm hoping for a boy.

Good job taking some personal responsibilty with it. :) :thumbsup:

Do I hear "Shotgun Wedding"? ;)

Chances are when the kid comes, you will not even be able to imagine life without the little bastard. ;) j/k the little love child.

Ill tell you what others will not. Kids are a lot of work and time. If you are still partying and going out forget about that. The first year is all kid and work. crappy diapers. no sleep. crying all the time. (yuk)

They also cost a fortune so the ideas of gettin out of college and picking up a new fat ride are out. diapers, crib, damn (onesies)i didn't even now what these were before my wife got pregnant now we buy them by the hundreds.......

all aside i wouldn't trade it but life is going to change as you know it................. be prepared.


just da truth

Well, in 10 years when you're old enough to vote, you might realize that people are never really ready.
