First Post - Miss my family

[Tram]

Good thread..

I have always wanted to be a pilot, my dad, uncle and grandfather are all pilots.. I always wanted to be a pilot..

Growing up, I remember my dad being gone, but what I remember most, is not what he missed, but what he was able to be there for..

I think it made our relationship that much stronger.. My mom and dad are 2 of my best friends and strongest shoulders to lean on.. We don't take anything in our family for granted.. The time we have together is precious and that is how it is spent..

I am getting married in less than 2 weeks.. and right now one of my biggest fears is that when we decide to have kids, my kid won't recognise me when I get home.. However, I have spoken to alot of guys I fly with with newborns, etc and they say not to worry..

I sure love flying, but I've only been doing the 121 stuff for a year, I guess we'll see if I was cut out for it..

Well wrong on all accounts. Just expressing the realities of life in aviation.

Just go play with your blow up doll. BTW what is a DA-50? Does it burn glow fuel or is it electric? Go flame on another thread.

I've been away from work for the last couple weeks since my wife gave birth to our second child. There really is no better feeling in the world, than watching your child come into life, I can't believe how happy I've been. This is what it's all about!

How early was the baby? Looks tiny.

Great observation. The baby was only 31 weeks along, so she was about a month and a half premature. My wife had been in the hospital for the week leading up to the birth due to some difficulties with pre-eclampsya (sp?), and finally her body stopped reacting favorably to the medications she was on to keep her blood pressure down. The highest I saw it was 206/107, and at the same time she lost her vision. The doctors were afraid that seizures were the next step (I guess that's what pre-eclampsya means..."before seizure"), so they decided to take the baby early.

It is amazing how the body works. Within a minute of having the baby, I was watching the monitors hooked to my wife, and her blood pressure went down to the low 100's over 70's, so it was almost instantly how fast the blood pressure came back to a normal level. The baby's doing great, not a single problem thus far, and the wife is recovering without a hitch. So all in all, it has looked like a happy ending/beginning!

Great news. Same thing happened to me....and all will be fine. Enjoy your little bundle. Such a beautiful baby.

Well, I am glad your wife and baby are ok.

There's another reason for me not to have a baby.....I don't want to die. TIC
