Was worried that this was what "your surprise" meant!

Congrats, it will change your life. Give the kid a .50 cal bullet once he is teething and get him started right!

I have a 5 month old. All I can tell you is that it will completely change your life/outlook/priorities and whatever anyone says about how little sleep you'll get, you'll actually get less.

Awesome! Remember it's not the destination...but the journey. Highs and lows. For me it was the single best thing I have ever done.

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Pate!

Having a baby was the best thing that every happened to me. Having a second baby was the 2nd best thing that every happened to me.

I wish you and your wife all the best!
