You can even change the colors and put rims on it.

My advice:
1.) Don't procrastinate of getting his/her room ready.
2.) Start buying diapers & wipes now. Just get a pack, in difference sizes on payday. newborns and size 1's...
3.) If the baby doesn't thrive off (can't hold down) Enfamil, get Similac.
4.) Get all the sleep you can now. That first week or two is gonna kill you.
5.) Rest might be hard to come by, since you'll soon be entering your "2nd honeymoon" phase... (You'll see what I mean)
**I hope your wife stays cool. My wife, who's usually meaner than a sack full of water mocassins, was so laid back and cool; I started liking her again! If your wife does the same, this wil be the coolest 10 months you've ever spent... Some guy's wive's flip though; hopefully, that won't be the case for you!
Hey man; I know exactly how you felt; I'd given up too, and that's when it hapened! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
It's been a tough two years, but I wouldn't change a damn thing!

Time for me to take D's advise.. Only I'm hitting the jewlery store instead!
Since I want to get caught then I'll get away with it. So I might as well have some coin out of the ordeal.

Been there...My son was in the NICU for 4 months. He was 403 grams at birth. Thats 14oz....(Yes he was under 1 lb) . He had about 12 blood transfusions. 2 eye surgeries and a shopping list of other stuff. He is now 2yrs 4 months old and 23lbs. I have a few pics of him in my gallery from Sept 05.
Oh and congrats Jamz..

My little booger is 5 weeks old, and let me tell you, sleep is a RARE commodity! And our nursery isn't done yet because I can't get in there for more than about 10 minutes at a crack before the baby is ready to go down for his nap again! Enfamil killed our little boy (and mom and dad in the process with his crying) while Similac seems to be easier on his stomach!
My wife was as even tempered as I've ever known her to be during her pregnancy -- an actual joy to be around. Today she's called me up twice to b*tch at me for things I can't possible help her with since tonight I'm in New Jersey and she's back home in Houston -- let's just say our 9-month honeymoon seems to be over!
I will have to admit I love to smell him and feel how soft his skin is after he gets out of the tub every night though!

Hey DD, where in Jersey are you?
And for those of you saying get a mini-van, please don't. A nice cool looking SUV has plenty of room.

Hey Jamz...Congrats Big Guy! I hope it's everything you hoped it would be. You'll be an awesome 'older brother kind of dad' to a boy...if it's another girl...I have an extra room.
FOR JAMZ...NOT THE GIRL...YOU FREAKS!
