so i found out my gf is preggers with my second (her first) kid. I'm pretty much in shock right now. I'm not sure i'm ready for this again. my daughter is about to turn five, I'm back in school, she was about to finish her second degree. Anyway, any bonnaroo advice for us? Anything special i should go buy her? Any words of encouragement?
How about Congrats! You will be fine, your girlfriend will be fine... just remember to hydrate well and often. Being preggo is fine at Roo as long as you know your limits (when to rest, when to eat etc..) I went to Roo 5 months pregnant and had one of my best Roos! In regards to the shock, the best advice I can tell you... take a deep breath and smile. Your little one will be starting their life off right by being with 80,000 new family members and he/she will already lov music when she's born!

Thanks for the kind words and the congrats. She is pretty mad about her dietary restrictions (no corn, see what i did there) for bonnaroo. especially since i will probably double the amount of corn i eat. lol. It hasnt really set in yet. i mean i planned on having a kid with her anyways, we are getting married this year, i just turned 27 (today) so i'm not getting any younger. I think my panic attack is over. for now. (now in a few months if we get the worst possible news, another girl, i might spin out of control. J/K)

Just think - there are things worse than another girl - she could give birth to a puppy or a cat??
Seriously - I have 3 girls - 18, 13 - and 6 - if it's a girl - you'll survive and you will fall in love with her and she will be daddy's girl and wrap you around her little finger and it will all be ok

This is actually the issue, i've already one that gets what ever i want, if there are two of them working together, they will play me like a fool for whatever they want. lol

Hey, brother...mind if I give you a word of unsolicited advice? Married for fourteen years, here, and proud father of a six year-old daughter.
If corn's off the menu for her and she's sad/angry/frustrated/bitter about it, maybe you should think about abstaining too? Especially if the two of you are getting married.
She might be the type to say: "No, no…you go ahead and do your thing," but trust me...if you spend the money on her instead of what's in the bag, and if you focus your sober and undiluted attention on having fun in ways the two of you can share, it'll pay off in the long run.

^^One of the smartest pieces of advice on this board^^
If she is going one of the best things you can buy her is nothing.. Give her you and your love and support. Buying something does not do anything.

this is definitely some sound advice- try to take it to heart Happy Birthday, and congratulations on your marriage and child! See you on the farm!

And congrats on the impending new arrival.
This. Very sound advice!
It may not sound like much fun & your GF may say she's cool with whatever you want to do, but it will mean a lot to her. My BF and I have the opposite situation - he's the one with the dietary restrictions (gov't job) and at first he was totally cool with me doing my thing. I kind of noticed an underlying attitude about it, so I changed my diet as well and he's been super grateful & appreciative. In the long run, it hasn't been a big deal and we've both been corn free for over a year - which is something I never thought I would do! Overall, it's been a good thing for both of us!
I'm going to have to agree with the advice that's been given. Coming from a pregnant girl who has been there pregnant. It's more fun to be on the same level as your partner.

Amen brother. We we're smokers when I got pregnant and stopped of course. Every now and then he would sneak a cigarette and it would make me crazy...if you can't give it up limit it severely, hormones are a dangerous thing ;D

Thanks everyone. Seriously. About to be at the doctor. As far as the corn, I use medically for really bad stomach aches I get, the stuff I've gotten from the dr sucks. She would rather me have my corn, I know her well enough. I am going to be extra sweet, not drink, and make everything about her. Even going to miss g love So she can see Amos lee twice. I'm slowly getting over my initial panic. Thanks again, this board really is completely different than the rest of the Internet.
OMG CONGRATS!! I know, I know, it must be nerve racking finding out when your gf is preggers. I'm the youngest of 9 and I swear half of us were "surprises" hahaha But hey, you always make it, trust me.

your kids are beautiful. i have to say, this thread has actually helped me and my girl. thank you everyone. also, we will be giving away condoms at roo, so if you see a tent with a bowl of condoms to take outside it, come say hello!!!!!!
I'll just reiterate what others are saying: Congrats!
I was 28 when I found out my girlfriend was pregnant. I was on my way to see a show. Crazy. I actually wrote about it in a book I just published (about Bonnaroo!).
That was 5 years ago. We've been married now for 5 years and have two little jammers, both boys. It ain't easy, but it's totally worth it. It's good to have support (On the inforoo message boards...who knew!?) close by.
You just hang in there. Everything's going to be alright.
If you check it out, I hope you like it. It's really a tribute to Bonnaroo and how the experience helped me through a very strange point in my life.
And remember: The second kid is always a little easier once you've learned from the first one. Oh, and finish school! I went back to school after my first kid was born. You can do it!
Happy Birthday, and congratulations on your marriage and child! See you on the farm!
congrats! !
