cogwatch 1 Posted June 11, 2017 Well, some of you who have been around a while know that I haven't been around for a while. Six weeks ago, we had our first baby. With the pregnancy and now the last six weeks, I've been a bit busy and just not able to spend too much time on watches :( At 56, I just had my first child. I'll be 74 when he graduates from high school. What was I thinking!! :) They say it's a lot of work, but it's worth it. So far, it mostly just seems like a lot of work But really, those extremely cute moments when he smiles really big are pretty cool...... And at least I now have an heir for all of my many, many watches!!! Sorry Ish, you've been superseded as my watch heir :P Here are some pics of little Cog. Notice a particular watch in one of the pictures from 2 days old. Given the watch I chose to wear at the hospital before and after he was born, I guess I kind of know which is my favorite watch now....... 2 days old, photo studio at the hospital 2 days old, photo studio at the hospital 2 days old. My wife hates this picture because she looks like she just had a baby, which in fact she did!! 4 weeks old. Our first adventure out. My wife is Chinese and it's a tradition for her to stay in and rest for a full month after delivering. So it was fun to finally get out!! 4 weeks old. The wife looking much better after 4 weeks :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

myaz 3 Posted June 11, 2017 Many congrats. Good looking baby. On the plus side, as opposed to having a kid within 9 months of getting married at 17, your son will benefit from the wisdom you've acquired over the years, them kids sure don't come with instruction manuals. :thumbsup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
