Where is my cigar?
Come to SoCal and I'll make sure to buy you one 
Congrats?
It was planned, but I don't think there is any time I would really be *ready*.
Yup. Ours was planned as well, and no, you are not ready.
I'm selfish, I'll admit it. I like being able to leave the house whenever I want and not have it take two hours. All I have to do is find someone to feed the cat and dog and we can leave for a weekend. I'm sure it will take some getting used to. I don't think it's quite sunk in yet haha.
It will sink in after you leave the kid somewhere. 
I'm not saying it won't happen....
Yup. It gets harder to find people to feed the animals once you ask them to watch the tiny human by the way
Congrats!
this is my life right now... you'll understand!
oh, and congrats
(btw, weren't you just married this summer or spring? not wastin' any time eh?!?!??!)
Enjoy them while they are little, that's the easy part
Congrats
Congrats
^^^^^
This. I'd kill for the simplicity of a newborn.
Screw that. They start screaming, and you have no idea what they want.
Congrats kazlx !
At the rate this thread is going he's going to get to see all of Louis right here on Ridemonkey.
Name the baby reptar
Congratulations and good luck.
Congrats. You have a few months to get blitzed and have a ride home everytime. Take advantage of it. It probably won't happen again for 16 years.
Also, do every dangerous thing you have ever thought about doing. You won't be allowed to very soon.
Lastly, go get some 30 yr term life insurance for the value of your home and 4 yrs of college in CA. You'll thank me later when you don't have to stress about it later.

What ever you do, slow down. Let your child set the pace. And yes, their hands may be smaller, but you will be wrapped around those little fingers from minute one.
Congrats.....
Congrats.....
Way to put it through the uprights.
Don't fail as a parent. If they do not scream at the top of their lungs "I hate you" and storm out of the room, you failed as a parent.
And be their parent, not their buddy. Teach them to lose, not everybody can win.
BTW, congo rats.

Congrats... say goodbye to almost all of your free time.
And almost all your money
Overly negative. No reason why you can not go out and have fun once in a while. Kids don't want boring parents
Yes, that is what I am telling you. Even easier with the first one. Both of you do not need to take care of the baby at the same time all the time. I have two boys now and and nothing changed with number two. Don't get me wrong I am not a big party guy but its nice to get out once in a while in the NYC night life before you end up being the old guy in the club.
Congratulations to you and the Mrs. and best wishes!!!!
I'm a mother of 2 (almost 7 and 7 months old) and can safely say you will adjust and I still get plenty of ride time. Did I ride MTB more pre-kids....sure just about everyday, but now I commute whenever I can and still get to MTB atleast twice a week (once with Mr. TreeSaw). The key is knowing that your kids need you to be a healthy and happy parent and if MTB is what makes that happen then you should be doing it. Enjoy every minute with them and know that babies are definitely portable (but, per my almost 7 year old..."they sure do take up a lot of space")

I think that's the part women don't really get. My wife isn't even showing yet, so it's still business as usual. I don't think it will really hit me until the kid pops out.
My best friend is a State Farm agent, so I've already been swindled for insurance.
The other thing that has helped is my nephew is almost 2. I already have him riding a bike.
