Good for you Mate!  Congrats. You'll never look back.
Now all your astro toys are gonna have to go... sorry  
You're going to spend a fortune in nappies... but look on the bright side.
You'll be kept up all night anyway so more observing time for you.

Ha! I keep joking that I'm going to have multiple strobes and the macro lenses out during the birth. That didn't go down too well...

Make sure you take some photos during the pregnancy too.
It's amazing how much your body changes over the months.
Having a belly full of arms and legs is a truly awesome experience.

Congrat man!!! you'll learn a love you never thought you had.
I remember when I first became aware I was going to be a dad. It was
fantastic up until about the last week prior to arrival. Then it was FREAK
OUT!!!! you ask yourself will it be this will it be that... even more
important will I be a good dad...blah...blah...blah... then like someone
above mentioned you'll find yourself 10 months in and your a pro lol
Congrats again, it's an amazing trip your about to take!! G'luck and have
fun. My tip, kids are never annoying or nagging... not if your more
annoying and nagging than them 
Cheers,CS

Congrats
Kids are good value, especially when they do goofy stuff
If anyone, however, wants a charming 6 year old girl I have one... will trade a C11 for her

Hi Troy & Kristy,
Congratulations. Before I became a Dad, I thought kids were okay. Tolerated them. Didn't want to have much to do with them. Then my first arrived. Your own flesh and blood is so very special to you.
You both are about to experience that and then there will be the years ahead to watch the little one grow. Their first roll, first sit up, first step, first word. Its all special being a parent.
I wish you both well and that all goes well.
Cheers Marty

Congratulations Troy & Kristy. Before you know it they will become part of your (astronomical) adventures away from home (Leyburn, Astrofest etc). Start at about 5yrs by telling the missus that you are taking them for a weekend nature adventure/camp....only once a month, no Moon. Lots of sunshine, cows in paddocks, fresh air the whole father son/daughter bonding routine thing. You will get away with this until they are about 15yrs old (I did).
