Congrats.....

Congrats on the little girl! I dare you to name her Compact though 

Would make for an awesome pair of T-shirts! 

"This is my daughter, Humvee, my son, Jeep, and that's Nissan, but we don't really talk about him much"




Congrats... I hope it all goes well 

You guys haves a spark "miniMod" and now "CompactTruck,"
You should call her Princess's truck instead ..

Congratulations new dad , a baby girl that's cool 

Once she starts teething it'll be dribbling truck

Congratulations!
Any idea of her real name? I can't see your wife being over the moon with CompactTruck.

A friend of my wife has a daughter she named Taylor. Her nickname is "Tater". She just hit 2 and I started calling her "Tater Tot" and after that her mom's going with my idea of "Sweet Tater"....lol

I bet this kid will come looking for me in about 12 years or so.....lmao

Congrats Truck! I don't have kids but a few of my friends do and they are a joy to have around. The best part about other people's kids is at the end of the day THEY GO HOME. Just kidding...

Shane, that is the funniest thing I have seen all day!

  Shane that cracked me up, I printed it and posted it on my wall.

Thanks for the warm wishes all, Trucklet seems to be the voted name for her, but I thought compact truck was cute    Or mini truck.

When my wife sits down to watch TV, you can see a little bulge start popping out on the side of her tummy, like the baby is trying to crane her neck out to see the TV    And she has been kicking the crap out of my wife's insides, there are morning that my wife makes me put my head on her belly so I have to suffer with her and get kicked in the head.   

Thanks Cory!  I'll run those names by my wife and see what she says.   

Congratulations old chap.

Your life has now changed for ever.

Congratulations....

Romulous!  I miss our old chats man, where have you been?  Thanks for the congrats! 

I hope your daughter doesn't have the same aversion to camo mine did. Every time she saw me in BDUs, she barfed on me...

Big congrats to you and the missus, Sergeant.

Oh, she'll steal your heart with her smile and giggles. Then you'll see her start making faces that will make you lol.

One of those many face is when she'll look up at you and give you an angelic smile. She''ll then start to look a little like Curly Howard. You'll hear a distinctive grunt and the unmistakable sound of her filling her diaper. Then she'll have the most sinister look of satisfaction as she looks up at you as if to say, "Check out my diaper dad!"

As you tentatively begin to check, the smell hits you like somebody dumped a bucket load of crap on your head. She looks at you as if to say, "Sucker!" Then she starts giggling and wiggling and of course the diaper full of baby poop is upended and spread every where. Adding to the gaging reflexes.

You begin to clean and "grunt" as you grab something to control the expected onslaught. She then looks at you and grins as if to say, "Just kidding dad."

You marvel as to how so much stench can come from one little butt. Your also totally freaked by the assortment of various colors. I'd advise against feeding her green peas unless you know you'll be deploying the next day.

Lastly, always keep the old diaper in place until a new one has been put in it's place. Kids all seem to know the game; Let's see how far we can pee. I swear, boys can piss at least 30 feet and their aim is incredible.

So much for your first diaper lesson from someone that's been there. Can ya tell....lmao

Here's an old post I made back in 2008. It is a great demo on changing diapers-

Thanks guys!  I changed my very first diaper today with some coaching from the nurse.  We started it off right too, a deuce.  It's easy enough for now since she is still too little to squirm much.

As for making me laugh with her goofy faces, she is already cracking me up, I'll post some pics in the photo forum, she had me in tears, it was gas, and it was the stereotypical faces of someone with gas.

Baby and mommy come home tomorrow, I can't wait.   

Enjoy your last full nights sleep for a while

You forgot to mention the diesel powerplant...WOW   

My deceased father-in-laws second wife's perfume smells worse than blooming diaper. 

I was in a Super Wally World and when she walked into the store, I told my wife, "OMG, Gaye must be in the store, I smell that putrid God awful perfume of hers. Talk about gag a maggot!


My poor old sniffer will take weeks to get that horrific oder out of my nose.
