Yep, it's true...

[Katastrophe]

I'm gonna be a DADDY! I found out this week for sure that Mrs. Katastrophe is havin' mah baby! This was a planned event, and we're both really excited. She has an almost nine year old daughter from a previous marriage (and my stepdaughter is excited, too!) This will be my first child. WOOOHOOO!R :R

 

[ZoSo65]

Congrats Katastrophe!
I just had my first 9 months ago, your gonna love it!!! :R

 

[duhvoodooman]

Well, a big congrats to you & the missus, K-man!! Sounds like a pretty nice Easter gift!!

 

[warren0728]

I'm gonna be a DADDY!

congrats man...there is nothing better in the world than being a dad! I wasn't sure i wanted kids and my wife and i waited several years before we decided to have them...it was either start now (late 30's) or not at all because we were not 20 somethings anymore!

Now i'm 43 with a 7 year old and a 9 year old and i can't imagine life without them!

ROFLMAO! R :R

There will be PLENTY of updates on this, folks, as I've never raised a baby before, and I need all the advice from the Daddy Fretters I can get!

 

[warren0728]

I need all the advice from the Daddy Fretters I can get!

advice is one thing....real life is totally different!!

[Nelskie]

Kat - Remember what it was like to be well rested? Well, say goodbye to that feeling. But hello to so many other wonderful things. Congrats, my friend.

 

[blogan]

Congratulations!!! Kids are great!!

Listen to all the advice, but take it with a large grain of salt. Every kid is different and what works for one won't work for another.

The best advice I can give is to spend time with your kid. (That, and buy 'em a guitar. I got my 8-yr old one for his birthday.)

 

[Tone2TheBone]

Well done man. Great news. Kids are awesome. Congratulations.

 

[Matt]

Congrats man! I don't know what to say other than that, but well done!

regards

Matt

 

[guitar ruki]

Congratulations Mr. Katastrophe!

Now that is what I call exciting and wonderful news.

 

[6STRINGS 9LIVES]

CONGRATS K-MAN ..... 6s9l

 

[ZoSo65]

Even though it's been 9 months since mine, still seems like yesterday, as I'm sure most here feel the same way also.
And I'll definitley never forget the 2 false alarms(running my wife to the hospital and everything else that goes along with it,,hehe) After the first one I had to get my mothers flight changed to get her here sooner too,,LOL

The funniest part was right before my daughter was born, I fell asleep in a chair with my head on my wifes belly, was at hospital for 8 hours plus no sleep the night before, she had to wake me up when it was "time",,,, I almost missed it!!! LOL

There's nothing like the "first one" , it's so very special, it will be special for your wife also as it's the first for the two of you, as one! :R

,,,Listen to all the advice, but take it with a large grain of salt. Every kid is different and what works for one won't work for another.,,,

That is the best advice,,,point well made blogan!

Congrats again!

Congratulations Katastrophe,

The new addition will turn your life upside down. You will be a different person after the child is born. When my son-in-law married my daughter, she already had a child. He always put on the tough guy act. Although he claimed he loved the child, I could see there was no bonding going on between them. Then came along a little red head baby girl. This little baby melted this big tough guy into the gentlest person I even knew. As my son-in-law recently stated, he now has a complete family. A wife, son and baby girl. What’s the point of the story: Children change people.

There is on piece of advice I would ask that you not to take with a grain of salt. Love the child with all that you have, and you will receive that love back doubled.

Congratulations again to you Mr. Dad

Congrats Katastrophe!

Congratulations Katastrophe,

What a blessing!!! I always remember how different it was to hold (your own) child. What a blessing. My two are teenagers now but they are still and always will be a blessing.

All the best to you and your loved ones!

I havent been around for a while, but better late than never

Congrats Katastrophe!!!

 

[Katastrophe]

SuperSwede -

I don't know nuttin' from nuttin' about amphs, but do ya think my child will be good for a few "screaming solos?"

Thanks, guys... Now all the realities of being a Dad are hitting me, needing a bigger residence, bills, etc... What fun!

SuperSwede -

Do worry about a bigger residence. Let the baby sleep with you and mom. It will slow down the possibilty of the next one coming soon after this one is born. LOL!

 

[warren0728]

do ya think my child will be good for a few "screaming solos?"

yes....yes i do....you haven't heard screaming solos like you will be hearing soon!

[SuperSwede]

You will probably want to invest in some kind of volume pedal for the baby. They tend to overdrive very quickly.

 

[Spudman]

A compressor works wonders too. It keeps them from getting bigger and will save you a fortune in clothing costs. Very handy effect to have. Be careful of the chorus effect. I'm sure you can imagine the effect of this one.

 

[duhvoodooman]

A good noise gate is essential!! Especially when they get to be about 13!

 

[Tim]

VooDoo – I do not think you have chosen the correct effect addressed for a 13 year old teenager. I believe the correct selection for “volume control” would be a dummy load. But Katasrophe has time to purchase the correct wattage for his future need.

 

[SuperSwede]

In fact, I can tell you that small wattage tube kids sound louder than the more solid state older kids. Also, they come with a free cry-baby. Sounds great, especially in the middle of the night.

There will be a lot of "woman-tone" whenever the kids need new clothes, toys et.c... oh yeah, you will not afford neat guitar stuff for a while as well ....

Keep rockin´

 

[warren0728]

lmao ss.....glad you are back!

ww

 

[Katastrophe]

I can deal with all that... There's only ONE effect that's gonna bother me. The "brown sound," and all its after effects, with soak through and all.

 

[SuperSwede]

Ah, the brown sugar... Time to stack up a supply of tweed pampers !

There is lot of neat baby clothes, just search on google... Check this one out:
