Jen is pregnant.
We've been trying for three months now and for us it seemed like an emotional roller coaster ride into eternity. We're kind of long in the tooth to be doing this and Jen didn't think she had much time left. But we got the deal done, yes indeed.
I feel unlike any way I ever have: protective, elated, anxious, hopeful, amazed. I feel like I'm beginning to do the most important thing I'll ever do. I think Jen is feeling the same way and she is so happy. She wanted this so badly.
I've been getting more healthy lately, and I quit smoking, but I think now it's time to get serious about my weight. I'm going to have to plan out converting our spare bedroom into a baby's room. So much to do.
I'm going to be a daddy!

I know you will be a great dad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for asking Tobin.
Like you I found me a fantastic partner. I am very happy these days
I am more lurking these days than posting. But I am still around.
I have no idea how you were single for so long. Good looking and such a sweet person, back when I was single you made me want to hop on a plane to Germany. I'm very happy for you.
I guess I was just stupid and continued to pick the wrong guys. And the last years I was focused on other things. And then my bf showed up. I met him online October last year. The rest is history so to speak

Tobin, I don't know if I've EVER known anyone who follows up, "I'm gonna do THIS"
with such an amazing amount of "Done!!!".

If you said "I'm gonna be the next POTUS, I would definitely drop everything and
throw myself into your campaign!!!

I'm so happy for the both of you.

Sleep now... while you can.

"MiddleFingerMom" is an exceptional name for a baby, no matter the gender.

I hope all goes well.
That's terrific news.
Going to be an amazing time. 
That's because you ARE!!!!
This Mom can assure you of that fact, and also that the feeling never goes away.
Congratulations! It is an amazing and humbling event.
Congrats from TheMan and I.
Jen sent me a message so I knew to look for your post.

Tell D I said hi. 
Here's a serious tip for as the due date approaches. Get a pink towel and a blue towel. After the baby is born, hang the appropriate one from an upper-level front window. It will save you a SHITLOAD of phone calls!!!
Tobin & Jen Baby 2012
Forward.
I'm so happy for you I'm all teary eyed.
What wonderful news! to you both!
It is such an exciting time! I hope she's feeling well...
I'm so thrilled for you both.
Having a child will change your lives in ways you could never have anticipated. Enjoy the ride!
It's good to see you!
What great news! So happy for you and Jen!
protective, elated, anxious, hopeful, amazed will remain with you forever!
... make sure your seatbelts are fastened, your loose items secured, and hang on tight.
We dropped off our youngest child for another year of college this weekend and it went something like this:
Hopefully you'll be lucky and your new child will sleep through the night like our girl did after 2 or 3 weeks. I've got some friends/co-workers who aren't so lucky. I take it this is your first, don't worry about breaking the baby, they are pretty tough. I recommend putting down some cheap laminate wood flooring in the baby room.
The first year is actually pretty easy. It's when they can run, talk, scream, yell, throw and climb that will wear you down. My girl turns three in November and goes 12-14 hours straight without a nap every day. Had her in the pool with me cleaning it out after work yesterday to burn off some extra energy
Of course when we are on the couch and it's late and she snuggles up next to me and says "luv you daddy" it's all worth it
Congrats!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! 
my advice to both of you: do this as much as you can, NOW 
We've told our families now and scheduled a doctor's appointment. We're just hoping for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby at this point. I think we're both in shock a little.
We are going out to dinner at Jen's favorite restaurant. Thanks again, everyone.
