Steady on! There's a lot of work - and money - which goes into looking after those beautiful little bundles. Congrats anyway. It's nice to see a guy come on and say something like this.
Oh I'm only kidding on really..I really wish to be married first...it's not necessary but I'd prefer it the old fashioned way..I'm just excited that's all!!!
You sound like you'd be a wonderful husband and father, get the husband bit sorted out first then go for it! Its true though, kids are sooo much hard work, not just the baby stage, but the toddler tantrums, and I won't even start on the teenage years! i've never regretted any of it though, and i'm dreading empty nest syndrome:-(
btw congrats on becoming an uncle, good practice for you!
Here's some positive stuff for you - when your baby first smiles properly at you; when it takes it's first steps; when it calls you daddy - all beautiful moments. Listening to the wonderful tales that children can come out with; seeing the world through the eyes of your child; no amount of money can make up for these precious times. Having children is certainly hard work - you'll never know such worry - or such love - but the latter's what it's all about. Sounds like you might be fantasising about the event through rose-tinted glasses, but yes, it's fab!
Ofcourse it's worth it ... too much good stuff to list. Smiles all round. I had them beore I knew how much they cost on purpose, lol. We had a wee baby here at the weekend ... very scrummy I know what you mean. Congrats!
