Not sure if this goes here, but

found out yesterday I'll be a dad yet again. It'll be the third spawn of a jedi who is struggling not to succumb to the power of the dark side.

Kidding aside, I'll be a grandpa dad, having spaced them out 8 1/2 years apart. In fact, our latest wasn't exactly planned, and at the appointment yesterday we found out it's a boy and we're already 28 weeks along! Yikes!

It's scary bringing a new life into this rancid mess of a world we're in at the moment, but hopefully things will get exponentially better within the next few years. Otherwise, these kids will have to unleash the power of the force and help to take down the New Order with a little help from old grandpa dad jedi knight.

May the force be with all of us...

You’re so right...it’s scary think think about bringing a baby into the shit show we’ve got rolling at the moment. On the bright side, how lovely to immerse yourself in love, light and family!

I had my son when I was 41. There’s a lot of sweetness to being an older parent. You’re going to do great...after all, you’ve don’t this before.
