[#ditto] My wife and I agree, marriage did not change us, kids changed us. You can not fathom the difference of life with kids verses what it was before kids. Those who know exactly how a child should be raised, have never had them. I had all the answers till the first one came along, then I just winged it and did my best.

Congrats Reggie. Well said, Dennis. Kids continue to change us - as the middle boy joins his sister in teen-age-hood, and the 4 year old acts his age.
thanks for the advice guys im looking forward to my first one. as i have 7 nieces and nephews i have done alot of raising those little rugrats and i loved it having to wake up and tend to the kids while/as the parents were and/or tired and i gave them a break to let them rest up, but its not like they are mine and i had to keep them forever, but just until they got them a little rest and free time. but like you said there is nothing like your own kids as i will be like my brothers and sisters and need a break for a little while just to regroup. thats one reason i waited so long to have any kids plus it was the way i was reared and brought up. but like they say there’s nothing like having your own until you have your own. again thanks and i cant wait only 4 and a 1/2 monthes left to go.
