So, I'm going to be a dad!

troypiggo (Troy) · #1 27-10-2009, 09:11 AM

Our first. I'm too excited to not tell everyone, even though it's probably a week or 2 before we should be announcing.

And something that may or may not be of interest to IIS members... the day of consummation.

I was at Astrofest (no, Kristy was not there with me), but I got a text message saying "Need you home, I'm ovulating". Haha. I was leaving that day (the Saturday) anyway, but how's that for some incentive to drive home fast!

So I guess in a way, it's going to be an astro-baby!

Congratulations on the news will certainly add a new dimension to your life

Hope the best of health to your partner and the little one (and you of course

)

My fiancee is 12 weeks as well so i know quite well just how excited you must be feeling

Troy and Kristy congratulations on your astro-baby!

I hope Kristy's pregnancy is a breeze for her and that all goes well.

Guys this is really so exciting - enjoy every moment.

Great story Troy.
It's a beautiful thing, bringing a child into the world.

A wonderful experience for both of you.

erick (Eric) · #10 27-10-2009, 10:06 AM

Too much information

And telescopes are cheaper, financially and emotionally

But, too late, the deed is done and I hope all goes well through to a lovely child for you both to hold and adore. Next stage in life, Troy!

And in future you'll hear such lovely words from your children as my daughter emailed to me this morning:- "Dad, can you redeem some of your rewards points for this nice camera for me?"

troypiggo (Troy) · #11 27-10-2009, 10:09 AM

Haha. Thanks all for your good wishes. Big scan next week just to make sure all on track etc. Fingers crossed.

erick (Eric) · #12 27-10-2009, 10:13 AM

Better hope they don't detect three beating hearts!

Ric · #13 27-10-2009, 10:16 AM

Congrats to you and Kristy.

You'll have to make sure your scope is permanently setup for all those late nights with the baby.

Cheers

It's passed me by now, but I wish you all the best happiness. I'd love to have known what it'd be like.

Believe me Chris, similar to a new Tak, but without the mess, AND if you tire of it you can sell it off without raising the ire of the humanitarian groups.

Sorry Troy, congrats on the new little piggy.

Congratulations Troy and Kristy becoming a parent can be such a
rewarding expierance.cheers

troypiggo (Troy) · #19 27-10-2009, 11:22 AM

Thanks again, all. At 38, I'm not the youngest first-time dad ever, but still fairly young at heart. My brother only recently had his first too. You can just see how happy they are.

goober (Doug) · #20 27-10-2009, 11:39 AM

Congrats - the hobby will suffer, but the days go quick. I'm 10 months in ...
