A new diver is on the way, just found out my wife and I are expecting our first child!

Excited? Check
Terrified? Check!

So, a new buddy for me in 12 years or so!

Congrats! However, I hope you are stocking up on dive gear....First is was my son and then my daughter....I had a hard time supporting my own habit.

So even your swimmers like to swim.

Congrats! There's nothing more wonderful and so terrifying. I hope at least one of my 2 wants to dive. I think the boy will get into. The girl, well at 3 months it's too soon to tell.

Congratulations! Being a Dad is one of the most incredible things in the world.

I'll pass along the only two pieces of advice I give to expectant parents.

1. Buy a stethoscope. You can get them for around $10 to $20, and not only is it cool to just listen to the baby's heartbeat, it can be very reassuring when the baby gets real still for a little while.

2. Don't be afraid to tell people to shut up. When my wife was expecting our first (over 26 years ago now), it seemed everyone wanted to tell her horror stories about pregnancies that had gone wrong. There are enough anxieties in a first pregnancy, especially, without being reminded of every possible mishap that can occur.
