My wife and i are inducing labor in about 1 hour....alittle nervous myself....as well as she is too.

i have a bit of an issue with social anxiety (loud restaurants, etc..) and with anxiety involving major changes in life.....you should have seen me when we found out we were pregnant....i was a train wreck for about a week, it sucked.

it is not a pleasant mental illness to have....i hate it....i take medication for it and it helps...today i am doing pretty good though....as you can tell by me typing this at 4 am that i have not gotten much sleep and i am trying to keep myself occupied ;0) i guess it is kinda like how some people freak out about flying etc...

so, please pray for me and my wife and for our baby....i know this is not Packard related, but hey there is a new Packard generation starting today!! ;0) thanks for letting me talk about it, Big Kev feel free to delete this thread...i just needed to chat it out a bit is all....i know it isn't Packard related.

thanks guys/gals,

Hank

No need for deletion, but get that Packard all shined up and done by the time he/she starts school, so you can take 'em to the first day in style!

Good luck and God bless!

are you kidding...i have until he is about 2...i need to recreate a photo that was taken with me, my grandpa, and my dad with my grandpa's Packard when i was about the same age....at least that is my goal anyways....don't know if money will allow it though...all in good time though....surely before 1st day of school though.

Hey Hank,
Being a parent is a challenge, but you have to relax yourself to enjoy it. Remember at 2AM when the baby is hungry that, even though you are tired, it is a time to rejoice.
Congratulations!
Best wishes!

Hank,

Children are a joy and blessing. The best wishes of my wife Kath and I go out to you and your wife at this time. Enjoy your children even at 2/3/4am when they won't sleep and neither can you! Now we're enjoying our grandchildren which is another experience altogether. 2 sons, 1 daughter and 2 granddaughters.

This will truly be a for you and your wife.

Hi Hank
Prayers coming from Aust as well.

Agree with others they are a blessing, ...and the really, best thing that can happen in your life. (even though sometimes parenting feels like you are being pecked to death by a chicken!)

Seriously they are a joy - we just had dinner tonight with some European business guests and it was just great to see my 4 interacting so well and naturally with them. Made this old bloke real proud I gotta tell ya!

Our girls are 25 + 8 mnth boy, 21, 19 and the little bloke is 9.

Great times ahead Hank, take every moment in thanks for the opportunity to be a parent, God bless your family.

Russ J and family

Sending a prayer from Oregon!

Your growing family will be in my thoughts today. We need more Packard enthusiasts!! If we can't find them...make them!!

I don't think the stork will be paying a visit, but instead the Cormorant will bring a happy healthy child.
