Hi, Expctant Dad-to-Be!
10 Months, 1 Week ago
Hi,
In a few weeks, my wife is going to give birth to a baby boy. My story is a little unusual because I am going to be a dad for the first time at age 45. I work in a high-divorce career field, law enforcement, and was divorced in 2009. I was committed to bachelordom when I met my child's mother, rethought my whole life up until now, got engaged in 2010 and learned right around Christmas there was a bun in the oven. This after 10 years of marriage to my previous wife and we never conceived.

I am the oldest guy still working the road at my dept, and pretty soon I will be putting a baby in diapers after working all day putting adults in time outs. I am somewhat glad this is happening near the end of my police career instead of at the beginning.

Thanks for those of you that post, I gain knowledge from them at times and sometimes a laugh.
Thanks
T

Welcome Baddog72. We're about the same age, so I know that guys like us still have enough miles left to take on challenges like a new baby. You'll do a great job. There also are some big advantages to being a little older -- stable career situation you mentioned being a big one.

Best of luck with everything. Keep us posted on how it goes. Let us know if there are any topics or info you would like us to cover for you.

Cheers,
Clay

Dadchelor Parties

Daddy Clay talks to Beth Feldman, Founder and President of RoleMommy.com about a few "dad trends." Dads are becoming more involved with everything from the very beginning, including doctors appointments and even baby showers. A Dadchelor party is a get together for new Dads that is essentially, diapers for beer. Guest bring diapers and beer is served while you watch movies or maybe the game. At a Dadchelor party, baby kegger, ok, strippers, not ok. (Trust us on this one.) Another great idea for new Dads is to take the Mom-to-be on a "Babymoon" where she gets pampered and can relax. Well, relax as much as one can when building a human. Episode 868
