She missed her TT start time?

Congratulations :)

been there last week. My prayers are with you for a happy outcome (btw, which will make you happier - | or ||?

Being a great dad and husband are not at odds with being a bike racer. You just condense a bit (hint: you don't need 85 mile commutes to race bikes ;))

BTW: she'll probably be telling you not to tell anyone outside of immediate family until after the 1st trimester, so stop talking about it now...

Oh I know WR. I just love the outdoors and the cool mornings. I can make it work.

Let me clear something up.
I will be the best father EVAR. My child will come first no matter what. I'm just old and thought I was through with this. But my wife likes my body and can't keep her hands off me sometimes. :D


edit: what am I saying? We don't even really know. Jeesh.

congrats!

(i think)

there goes your cervelo p4c/srm/zipp/sports car money.

also, 1st step to being "best father EVAR" is getting your cat 3 upgrade. ;)

It is admirable for a man to take his son fishing, but there is a special place in heaven for the father who takes his daughter shopping.

This quote really strikes home as I stood with my daughter Saturday in Club Libby Lu, no boys allowed.

Oh well, "Second best father EVAR." ;)

Yeah, I take my girls shopping. Father and daughter time can be very, very special.

best fathers are also current with the slang of various generational cohorts.

Don't you have a *****in' Betty like the pilots do?
"Pull out! Pull out!"

Dude, here is my 19 month old daughter. I went to answer the phone after lunch one day and found her like this. No prompting, no staging at all. The kid LOVES watching racing and is the only time she'll sit still for longer than 2 minutes.

^^ that is AWESOME!

My 18 month old daughters first word was Da-Da. One of her first 10 words was "bike"
Her first sentance was "Da-Da's bike".

Having a baby drastically reduced the quantity of training (miles) I was able to get. However, since December, I focused on structured quality and am actually faster this year.

I'm not sure why my oldest son is still building Open Pros, but it's nice to have a wheel builder in the house...

..with Zipp discs no less.

Hey, late can happen for a variety of reasons...

But congrats just in case!

:)

This thread reminds me why I got a vasectomy -- worry-free f***ing!

Congrats!

Kids are great. You can put them to work washing your bikes!

If she doesn't know something in a few days. I'll be getting a test. i just gots ta know. you know?

I'm no doctor, but I think SHE gets the test.

How late is she? There are OTC tests sensitive enough to detect pregnancy hormones within 3 days of conception.

that's alot of knowledge for a dude, sounds like a mini-bdcheung is in the works.

Get some tests on the way home (they'll fit in your jersey pocket). She's not going to believe the first one, and will be looking for the 2nd one in a couple days. A false positive is unlikely unless she's on hormones...

waterrockets: almost every single pregnancy test sold nowadays comes with at least two sticks.

sub: let me know if I'm getting into too much detail here, but you're way more likely to get a false negative than a false positive from a name-brand test. And even the false negatives are rare.

jeez, look at what married life has turned me into.

:cry:

You! I mean buying one for her. :p

I'll be talkin to her tonight about getting one. I would stop WR but I'd have to go miles out of the way. And it's already 42.5 to home. No more for me thanks.

From an old guy that has been down this road many times ...

... no matter what the result of the "test" is, it is good. Celebrate either outcome.

BTW, I was 41 when my youngest was born. You're not that old, are you?

Big +1 and :hug: to that

:eek: how old was your wife, if I may ask without you getting in too much trouble?

Congratulations! First one? You're in for one awesome ride.

Premature e-celebration, isuffer. let's wait for the test results to bust out the cigars. which nobody will smoke, because we're all pretentious bike weenies.

Maybe if you were riding more you wouldn't be in this predicament!!!

A very young 36.:)

Finally, an excuse to post a picture of my six-year-old daughter in her first "race" (in the Juniors category of the Fiesta Island Time Trial, with her jersey that she picked out at the store the day before):

What a cutie..

Don't make me get out my pictures

:D

No word tonight. Some construction workers broke a main waterline to our neighborhood. No water. No toilet. No showers!!!

Oh, and her parents are here.


To clear a few things up as well;
I'm 38. So is my wife. We have two beautiful girls (8 & 12).

Best LEGOs ever!!!:thumb:

False negatives are even go down in chance the more days after the missed ".".

EPT only comes one in a package.

I would go check what my wife uses (that come in a 2-pack), but I think she'd start asking questions.

Does she keep a stockpile? :D

I bought three EPTs 16 weeks ago. :thumb:
