Dogs. Don't short yourself, it can be a number game.
I was fine with 1, the GF wanted 2. So we compromised and got the 2nd one. Now, the GF wants a third one. Im still winning that war for now.

Just wait until people you know start having kids. You'll have that momentary "oh God, I'm so sorry" feeling before realizing that they were probably trying to have a kid and that this is good news.
My 10 year reunion is this year in theory. Good lord, where did the time go?
My 10th was 2 years ago and I now wish I had gone because one of my good friends from high school passed this year and it would have been good to see her grown.
It happens. Both of my older sisters were 19 when they married. I was considered an old maid because I was 21.
Last night one of our sons texted a pic of him, wife & four daughters with a big "Happy New Year" banner, so we reciprocated. The collective responses to Lew's beard "Whooooooaaaa!", and to me "Grandma has GREY hair??"Took yesterday off from walkabouting, thought I'd give my knees a break from trudging though the snow. Think they appreciated it. Did mostly street walking this afternoon. I spy big tom turkey with beard cackling away. Got a compliment* on mustache insanity from dad of sledding kids.
*Edit: While typing this a friend stopped and dropped off some holiday treats for me. She hadn't seen me all year and said I look "scary". Not a compliment.
50th is 2023...didn't want to go to the 40th but Lew talked me into it. I told him I'm not going to the 50th unless they do a cruise or something. At the last one we had lame food that ran out way too early, expensive cash bars, and a **** ton of lushes sitting around trying to impress each other. BORING.
Do it when YOU are ready, not when THEY are ready!
My mom posted that to my Facebook page, and said she was fine with that. Im guessing since my sister made a child, mom will lay off of me for a few years. Now, the GFs mom, she has been dropping varying levels of subtle hints the last year or so.
There was a comedian several years ago who had a bit about how hearing one of your friends getting married is like hearing they died.
'Man, what happened? I just saw him last week!'
It's terrible but I honestly get more excited if people tell me they're getting a dog than pregnant but I'm the guy at the party that's hanging out with the dog while everyone's passing the baby around.

Did you at least get Lew to put a shirt on?
I think he might have been wearing one.Did you at least get Lew to put a shirt on?
Funny how guys are all eager to see women topless, but a shirtless man makes them go all ooogey...
I'm excited for both haha.
It was just a weird feeling because up until a few years ago having a friend or classmate get pregnant/get someone pregnant was something you talked about in hushed somber tones, not something you celebrated
