Well, I just found out that my fiancé is pregnant. I couldn't be happier. I will start my kid on the bass early and mould him or her into a groove holding machine.

Is it wrong I teared up?

I love it when people are happy to be a parent. Congrats man. I wish I was in the financial situation to be able to afford a child.

It's odd that you mentioned that, because that's what I was always really worried about. But like three weeks ago I got a great job doing IT work for a bank and am more or less set. Now I just have to wait on the lady hand and foot and hope for the best.

Congratulations, now the preparation begins. Are you going to find out if it's a boy or girl?

IT job at a bank, and you're set? I sure hope so.

Unless you are a millionaire, you will never be in the ideal financial situation, you want to give your kids the world. I know I do.

Congrats, this will be the hardest and best thing in your life!

Congrats!

You're a bass player and not a lead vocalist, so I know you'll be a fine Papa!!!!

Congratulations!! Being a parent is such an amazing journey. Enjoy every moment because once you have kids this weird thing happens to the time-space continuum...blink and they're a teenager!
We thought we would have a pianist for sure...bass turned out to be a nice surprise and so happy that it worked out that way! Play music for him/her all the time...it gets in there!! Best Wishes

Congrats!

Tips:
1. No mater what you may think you are NOT ready for this.
2. Don't worry; no one is.

Tip 3: Your kid will find what they like doing, and do that no matter what you wish they would do. Don't sweat over it - if it's what makes them happy, isn't that more important?

All the best...
