That's awesome. Congratulations. Don't find out, there are only two options and some things should still be a surprise.

Congrats kid, why do you suppose it is that kids like VW Bugs and 911s? Maybe because they sound different, or how they look...

Congrats Chris! There is always time for the Porsche, especially with the kid(s). Get them involved early and you'll build that special bond with them right away.

Both of my kids were obsessed w/ Porsches by the age of 2. At that age my daughter could tell the difference between Martini and Brumos livery cars (she was also quite happy to correct her mom). My son has a Martini themed room, at his request. I have car seats in the back of my car and it is the kids' preferred method of transport. I've even had the little guy throw a full on tantrem because the car was down for repairs and he couldn't ride in it (this has happened more than once).

We'll spend hours on Pelican looking at the various car pic threads to see who can spot the Martini, Brumos or Jagermeister car first. It's a bond that I know is something that is unique between my kids and me. My wife gets to spend all day with them, but "Porsche time" is my time with the kids and nothing could make me (or them) happier.

Congratulations. Seriously. If this is your first, you will find that your TV and the rest of your toys are virtually useless. Your child will be WAY more interesting to you than all other things in the world combined. Enjoy. Even though I'm on your Ignore list and I just wasted my time.

1) No bigger house yet. House goes back on the market in 11 days. We'll be a lot more aggressive this time around.

2) Don't know the sex yet. I think it's another month or two until we can find out if we want to. (And we haven't decided that yet.)

3) Yes, I'm a dude, and my wife is pregnant.

4) The father is the guy who knocked up my wife.

5) This probably puts the kibosh on getting another car anytime soon.

6) Porsche bears you say?

That is gonna be really expensive and will eat up most of your disposable income and your time and sleep and you'll have to give up most of what you really like for it and what you want will become basically irrelevant,
