It goes faster than you realize my oldest is 30 and I have 3 grandchildren from my youngest is 17 and headed to college

I'm honestly not sure if the sonogram is a nano-human or a kidney stone, but based on the comments so far, it sounds like it's the former. In which case -
As Jeremy R said, kiddos are the absolute best thing ever, especially when they start walking & talking. That said, my little angel made a startling diagnosis this past week when I won an ad hoc game of book-on-head-balancing:
* My head is flat
* I have squinty eyes
* Therefore I likely have Downs Syndrome
Based on the stomach clawing laughter from my wife, she concurred with the observation.
Yes. It really helps the fun factor when you have a clever smart ass kid. Here is the conversation I had with my 8 year old last week when I walked in the door from work:
Me: Hey, ya big dummy! (said in Fred Sanford voice)
Her: Daddy, do you know what I learned in gifted class today?...No, you probably don't because you never got to go.
Who is the dummy now? Boom! (followed by giggles and a dance.)
The force is strong with this one.
Dont do it, its a trap!
Oh wait...
Oh wait...
Congratulations! Parenting is the most exhausting and most rewarding (and/or frustrating) job on the planet but you'll enjoy (mostly) every minute of it!
Pull sooner, pray harder?
Congratulations and welcome to the best most trying part of your life

Try it nao?
Can I trade it in for a newer model right before the warranty is up?
Only if its for a German car or a Subaru.
Or a Renegade.
You can run Black Bear Pass in it!

Congrats to you and the missus!
A special banana dance, just for you guys...
the missus!?!?!?!? damn. two surprises in one.
Congrats on the new tax deduction
Nice Joe! Congrats to you both!
I await notice of the first time you get peed on........ Nothing, absolutely nothing...... says "I love you" like warm yellow water running down your leg before the 2 of you shower.
Now, at least you'll have a reason to shower that does not involve being dirty after some "you call that epic?" ride......

And so the process begins of:
1) Selling my house/buying elsewhere
2) Transferring jobs to another site (if I can) or getting another job
3) Trading in the Jeep for a 4 door or buying another practical/suitable baby hauler
#1 & 2 aren't new initiatives, as we've been talking about them for a while, but have now reached critical status.
#3 is clearly a new revelation.

Just get the minivan now. Unless you're REALLY committed to just the one.And so the process begins of:

Unfortunately.....
Trying to stay outside 495 if I have to. Potential sites I could transfer to are Billerica, Bedford, Burlington or Danvers. So likely the clusterfuck that is 128 may be in my future again.
Congrats on the kid!
Congrats on the move! We just moved out to sudbury and the commute is longer but so much of so many things are so much nicer. Maybe you can still get that feel in carlisle or something.
Also, agree with a few people above. Kids are a giant time suck, but they are worth every minute. Except for babies, fuck that noise. If my #2 could go direct to 1 year old, I'd be 100% OK with that. I love my three year old, but up until about 6mo it was awful.

Rofl. Good luck buying something in Carlisle. That place is chock full of $500K plus homes, though it would be nice to be cozied up to Great Brook.
Also, I vote for getting another Town & Country. That is the vehicle I most associate you with broseph.
CrabJoeAstroVanJust get the minivan now. Unless you're REALLY committed to just the one.
Could we afford a $500k house? Yes. Do I want to spend that much? Fuck no.
I'd like to keep it at $400k or less, but what that gets you in the areas we are looking is sad at best.

Definitely get a van. It'll come in handy when you're living in a van down by the river
I've heard Coloradans are inviting Californicationers and Mazzholes with open arms?
House here is likely to be well north of $500K. Unless you choose to live in Kansorado.
you people are just a bunch of fucking dental tycoons
