A little about the one they call Cougjunkie - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

I am 24 years old and have been married for 3 1/2 years. My wife is actually due with our first child (a girl) Jan. 1st. I was really active in the church until about 17, and then my family went through some financial difficulties and i sort of blamed the man upstairs. So for the next 4 years I did not step inside a church (maybe to play basketball once or twice) but that was it. About a year ago I realized something was missing in my life and decided to go back. I have never been happier in my life.

I love BYU sports, spend way to much time on the internet, and am scared as hell about becoming a dad. Other than that I am a pretty normal guy.

Oh yeah and Fusnik I can bench 225 about 18 times, of course I weigh 285lbs.

welcome aboard. I am a sorta recent father myself. It's going to be a lot of fun.

Welcome junkie.

Congrats on the new baby-to-be.

There's nothing to be afraid of with a new one. We all go through it. You lose a little independence and perhaps a little sleep for a few months. But it is the best, especially when they hit 2 or 3 years old.

You lose "a little independence?!?!?!?!" How about it being like chaining a semi-trailer to your ankle. At least that's what it seemed like to me.

I remember bringing our first one home and sitting her on a chair, still in her infant car seat, and suddenly wondering "what the HELL have we done?!?!?"

That didn't stop us from going for it three more times. Fatherhood is great. And I agree, 2 to 3 is one great age; everyday is an adventure.

Welcome Mr. Junkie. You're going to love being a father.
