In case anyone is interested,

My wife and I are happily expecting our first baby, due in about 6 weeks or so.

I've decided on, on a whim, to share with you lot though I'm a generally private person.

"BobbyThomas" has a nice, gender neutral ring to it, to cover either basis

Congratulations.

If it's a boy, call it Frank. If it's a girl....call it Frank.

Congratulations!

However, this has now ruined the internet persona I had built for you that had you down as a man in his late 60’s living in a hick backwater town in the middle of rural America.

Congratulations to you and your good lady, and thank you for sharing. The Sky Blue clan grows strong!

And on those odd occasions when it all seems a bit overwhelming, just remember this advice that my mum gave me - the first twenty years are the hardest.

Not way too far off.
I'm in my 40s but look and feel about 60.

I live outside a big city but my parents did move to a rural horse farm in the middle of fucking nowhere about 20 years ago.

Glad to know I'm somewhat active enough for at least one person envisioned an internet persona of me. Cheers.

Hmm.

Sounds like I must come sound off like a pensioner around these forums. I will work on sounding Hipper.
Wife is Vietnamese-American, but I've never had the privilege to visit 'Nam. Though I did see the memorial in D.C. about 8 years ago.

Mid March conception, due date first week or so of December.

Though, both she and her two sisters were born 2 months early.
So I'm prepared for any eventuality.

Good luck - it’s passed down the mother’s side of the family. I was 3 months early myself.

And, surprisngly because I have a twin brother, twins are more often than not born weeks early. He and I arrived a day late. So yeah, I'm just trying to be prepared for any eventuality.

Congratulations & good luck. I was nearly 44 when our son was born and by the time he had got to 10 I couldn't keep up with him when we were playing football. Now he is 20 we are his personal slaves specialising as taxi drivers, laundry operatives, cooks & cleaners!
