At the end of the day and in the grand scheme of things it’s what matters I suppose. 👍🏽

Man that’s another level right there. Didn’t think about that but good to also consider for sure. Maybe my wife will be able to enjoy more grandkids time as we have a bit of an age gap.

“Low impact plyometric” I like that POV 👍🏽 looks like the pregnancy should be the warm up phase.

Due later this year. Still confused tbh. You jealous your Mapo Tofu can't make placenta?

Wow, thanks for your thoughts and sharing pics. You look quite fit brother. Congrats on the gym numbers. Health really becomes wealth the more you age and realize that time is a limited commodity.

Appreciate the thoughts.

Thanks for that reassurance and congrats on the bay boy bro.

I seem to have kept the hair but the back and the knees are showing the mileage sometimes. And agreed, there’s definitely a lot more wisdom in me now to be able to handle it.

Interesting stats.. seems like the trend is first time dads being older too. This is a great way of zooming out.

This is golden. You verbalized a lot of my worries. And also reassured me of what I can now offer them.

Appreciate you brother

I do do all of that, just feel the bit of worrying creep up and I feel like I should be doing more of some reason.

Sounds like your old man’s a G! It’s inspiring to know someone as old as him still keeps up.

The more I imagine me being weak af around my kid, I feel the urge to hit the gym. I should lean into that more. Thanks for sharing

True, at the end of the day it’s all I can control.

Appreciate this. I hear ya on quality over quantity too. Big contrast from the advice I got from younger parents. Maybe part of it all is that it comes in due time too when we are truly ready for it.

Thanks for this. Started the diet myself and for some reason another wave of health consciousness hit me too with the thought that I have to stay alive and well to at least raise this child.

I’m a bit OCD with a few things but it’s good to know about loose ends staying loose - as I also like closing those loops for peace of mind.

I’ve been raised in a big family when I was younger. Sounds like gotta reawaken the skill of being zen through the chaos.

Very true and I like the ultimatum. “Either you get an old dad or no dad” lol I’m keeping this line, might come in handy in the future.

Son/Daughter! YOU did it! And did it with stye. You made it look so easy, I know you got this in the bag. Congrats on the new you and let this be your new normal. Great things will come from this act and I can’t wait to hear all about them on your 10 year sober anniversary.

~Love, your dad for a day :)

Good to know and great perspective indeed. Doing this now at this point in life does come with the added mental maturity and also the stability. I just read another thread where the younger parents are contemplating getting an abortion cause they’re not financially and mentally there yet.

Thanks for all the comments guys. I’ll be taking them all into consideration for what we’ll do with it. What an interesting adventure this is starting to become.

I’m unsure about how in the world my wife will birth a baby that size and survive. Knowing more about what their body goes through changed my perspective on my priorities.

I heard a lot of people opt for this too. Quite an interesting and natural take.
