With all of the bad news that has been circulating around the forum lately, I thought I would inject some positive news on the forum. Yesterday, Mrs. Tif and I welcomed our first child, a boy. He weighed in at 6 lbs 13 oz, and is pretty much the cutest thing I have ever seen. We still have a couple more days in the hospital, so full scale sleep deprivation, and its accompanying insanity, is still a few days away.

Enjoy the sleep while you can. I am 11 years in and it hasn't fully returned yet. And enjoy that new baby smell.

Tif, this is such wonderful news. I feel almost like a part of your family, having posted with you since my earliest days on 7th Gear. Awww, this wonderful. Welcome news in so many ways. So, now .... PICTURES! We want PICTURES! With Mrs. Tif's permission, of course. :thumbup:

The first 18 months is easy. Wait until he says "No!" for the first time when you ask him to do something. That's your cue that things are going to change...

I've got a full blown meltdown sobbing in the other room at the moment. A tired & hungry but for no other apparent reason meltdown. There are benefits to the whole newborn aspect of the deal...

For the more "seasoned" parents (not you, Tifosi24, give it a few years. Seriously.), get Louie CK's take on kids. Hint: Kids are a**holes.

No, the wife and I haven't had another child. So far, parenthood has been a great experience and there hasn't been anything in my life that I enjoy more. However, our little guy has had a few medical issues during his first few months of life. His prognosis looks good at this point, but it is going to be a long process, so Mrs. Tif and I have decided to start a blog that will help keep everyone in the loop while helping our son understand what happened when he grows up. For those who are interested, you can follow us at the following link:

Don't worry, we will make sure that this is more than just bad news.

Congratulations...!! Enjoy it whilst it lasts...pretty soon they become teenagers, inform you that you know nothing, and you have no idea what it's like to go through what they're going through....then they leave and go off to college and you wind up sitting across the room from your spousal unit and try and remember just what the hell you used to do for fun on a Saturday night...

Take lots of pictures and videos...that way you have proof/blackmail material later on...

Get ready for the time of your life...every day...

Cheers!

Very coolness. Your life will never be the same.

And expect to haul/be hauled to races all over the planet by the critter for a very long time... if you are lucky. :D:thumbup:

BTW Trevor was a few weeks shy of 2 when he was politicking to be taken to his first race.

I'm sorry to hear that it hasn't all been cupcakes and sparkle ponies. (did I just say that?) A blog is a good idea. I'll be reading it.

Thought I would bump this thread because MiniTif has made it to his first birthday! It has been a wild year with different ups and downs, but the little guy is doing great and he has been having great doctor appointments lately. We didn't plan for all the doctor appointments and conditions, but I wouldn't change a thing about our little guy. On second thought, the only thing I would have changed would have been finding a different doctor treat his clubfoot the first time around.

Thanks for posting. I've been wondering about you and the miniT but couldn't begin to remember which thread to look for, which meant I couldn't find the blog either. This is great news. He sure is a cutie.

Catching up on the blog, it is satisfying to see he is doing so well. Live every minute of the baby years to the fullest, because they go really, really fast!
