40 Years old ...

I mentioned in my previous thread that a lot of things have been going on while I was away, so thought I would finally post and share the news.

On the 24th of Feb. I became a Father to my 3rd son, Gunner Ray, weighing in at 8 pounds and 21 inches in length. I am now a proud Dad of a 19 year old, a 18 year old and a 6 week old! :onfire:

I have to say this wasn't planned and is pretty much a miracle. I am not going to go into detail of why my g/f of 9 years wasn't able to have children (my first two are from a previous marriage), but it is truly amazing and yes, she was also on birth control!

I do joke (but is it?) that the hot peppers we grew and that have been lighting me up, fired up my "little boyz" to go against all odds... LMAO!

Take care,
Baldman
 
Congratulations Baldman. Someone else on here has a baby called Gunner too. Just think with your sons being older you have built in baby sitters, result.
 
Thank you everyone!

Jungle I think this is it for good now :)

Rainbowberry are you serious about the name? We still hadn't decided on a name until after he was born...I tried to get a pepper name in there. LMAO
 
I love unusual names, why the heck I called my son Connor I'll never know, in a crowd it's always someone elses kids that turns around when I call his name.
 
LMAO IGG too funny!

RBB I know what you mean... my first 2 boys have very common names also, but I do like the name Connor.

Thanks again everyone.
 
Congrats! Children are the future.

Dude... it's a boy... and he's 6 weeks old already.

I didn't know that three kids are the limit... So my wife exceeded the limit a 100%.:lol:
 
Omri, I didn't think he was joking and I was actually laughing my ass off when I read that! I love dogs, so I don't mind sharing... hopefully the Sophia's & Jasmine's feel the same (those are my dogs' names).

From my personal experience, there's no limit. :lol:
Anyhow, I thought *he* thought they were expecting.
