Congratulations!

Join the club! I was 37 when I had my first and 39 for my second. The crazy thing is we did it on purpose! Not to scare you but I soon realized I'm too old for this stuff! LOL, but I couldn't live with out them!

Now for the important gun stuff. I started them with a pink savage rascal .22 LR bolt action rifle and by request for something "louder" I'm currently giving a S&W M&P15T a gender reassignment with pink furniture, pink magazines and hello kitty insignia. I'm gonna post pics once I get all the pink stuff in and perform surgery. The good thing is I can always convert it back to a black scary evil rifle.

Cherish every moment, they grow up fast!

My wife wouldn't even let me get her a pink AR-15! I don't know if she would let our daughter, if that's what it turns out to be, have one!

Unfortunately, it was the color that did the trick! She went from listening to the school propaganda "guns are bad" to "Dad, do you think we could kill a bear?" :shock:

It's a small price to pay to get them interested. The power of pink!

Congratulations! Having kids has been one of the greatest blessing of my life right along with being blessed with my wife.

For some perspective, I have a 48 year old nephew never that married a 33 year old lady. They are expecting their first child in August.

Congratulations. Having a child is one of God's greatest gifts. I can still remember when my wife and I found out she was expecting...

Congratulations! I was 34 when we had our first daughter and 42 when we had our last one. I always assumed I'd be gumming soggy bread and having my own diaper changed before I had grand children. We have six and that youngest daughter is presenting us with a grandson come October. Don't sweat the age thing. Prayers for you, your wife and the baby!

Thanks but I left out the word "nephew". Guess I'm be a Great Uncle if there is such a thing.

Congrats! I had my one and only when I was 41 - my wife was 31 at the time.

There are fewer words in my life that make me as happy as the word, "Daddy", when I hear it from my little girl.
Your best option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
When those fail, aim for center mass.
