Oh, and btw, congrats. Being a dad is the coolest thing ever. Now you'll have someone else to share the great saltwater hobby with....kids sure love this stuff!

the cake was great :) the frosting was not overly sweet, but the whole thing would have been a diabetic's worst nightmare. chocolate double layer cake with raspberry filling plus the frosting. I had to have a glass of milk come to wash it down. I have 2 more pieces left at home

I have to agree here. I love it, my little one loves the tank and knows (pretty much) all of the stuff thats in it.
Congrats on getting through the shower without depleating your TTL... thats total testosterone level, in tank talk.

There will be many more instances now especially seeing as though you appear to be having a little girl? That many attemps will be made to drain your TTL and replace it with..... UNUE... that stands for, unessessary uncalled for estrogen... FYI.. Frequent trips to Home Depot, Lowes and yes even Benny's will help block this should it start to happen. Grunting loudly, flatulance, and burping has also shown to block this potential contamination. GOOD LUCK...

Yeah, taking the boy to the Baltimore Aquarium for like the 5th time is what inspired the hobby in my house....haha. He knows everything that's in the tank too, but it's really funny the way he talks about the 3 different types of shrimp we have. If someone calls one by the wrong name he sits there and corrects them, then proceeds to explain what each one is and why they're called what they're called. He's only 3 1/2.!

yea, i'm going to have issues with the estrogen... luckily my dog used to be male... :) i consider all the animals in my tank male (except the female clown, but she used to be male) so males still out number (if not outsize) the women.
hopefully my girl gets interested in the tank. most likely she will because i'll be the best dad in the world (no offense to other dads) and i'll still be interested in the tank. lets just hope i keep my food away from her until she knows better...

I sure hope you are talking about your fish food. Either that or I can see you with your arms around a plate of food snarling at a one year old "I said leave Daddy's food ALONE"

Ahh but just think, Christmas next year will be a whole new and wonderful expereince for you.

Reminds me of a Family Guy scene, Thanksgiving with John Goodman's family.

Renogaw, I use to like you...not anymore!!
You are so lucky to be having a little girl!! 5 boys later and my husband still can't get it right!
You will never do anything in your life that will be as wonderful and as rewarding as being a parent. Even changing diapers, although it might not seem like it, is wonderful!... TELL MRS. RENOGAW...from a mother of 5, drink Rasberry Leaf Tea (the real herbal stuff not pre-made) it will help her body prepare for labor and make things go much quicker and less painful! My LONGEST delivery was 4.5 hours!

1.5 months left. I've been sleeping on the couch more often than not on the weekends because she's driving me nuts waking me up because i'm snoring. I mean, come on...like that's a valid reason

i get to go to br--st feeding classes next week, and lamaze (however you spell it) i think at the end of the week.
yea yea, a guy going to br--st feeding classes. before all you guys laugh at me, remember i'm going to a SANCTIONED event that i can look at them in the company of my wife without getting in trouble!!

Ummmm....stilll don't get why you have to go to that class last I checked guys are unable to help in this department and you are just setting yourself up to get yelled at. Just warning you.
also, I can look at plastic ones all day myself in the company of my wife, just have to walk in Victoris secrets and look at the manicans....they don't show you real ones...

i don't know why either, but i guess it's for support and extra memory nodes. something about while she's having trouble and not able to remember everything i should be able to come in and save the day.
