It's been fun.

and if we don’t see some pictures of that kid, we’ll be upset with you, so please don’t disappoint us. – Elgin

it gets easier….least I think it does…either that or you just get used to it. ?dunno? I’m not to sure.

Congrats though, getting to be a daddy is a pretty nifty blessing.

Go Blazers and good luck bfan!

You can watch the games on TV occasionally (HD Tivo or Windows Media Center are your friends). That’s what I do with two kids. Sometimes I’m lucky and they go to bed on time (or early!!!) and I’m able to watch some of the game real-time. Other times, I just watch a bit later. The nice thing with an infant is you can watch the games with them while they sleep / while you feed them (if using a bottle at all).

However, I think you’ll find that graduate school puts a bigger crimp in your Blazers viewing time. It sure as heck did for me.

on his way out the door. Good luck pretending life matters, j/k, hope you have a good time in the real world.

enjoy it my friend…. Enjoy every moment. You will be back, we will still be here!

I’ve got two little boys, 8 and 4. It was a massive life changer to have the first one. I think you should expect to have less time for this stuff, but it doesn’t go away completely. Too many people think having a kid means they have to change everything to accommodate the new addition. It sounds like being a fan is part of who you are. Don’t make the mistake of losing yourself in favor of trying to be the perfect dad or husband. Being yourself is what will make you a good dad and husband.

I highly encourage purchasing a Blazers headband and putting it on your little one while it sleeps on your lap during the playoffs. Make them a part of your passion. Only good comes from that.

I give him six weeks.

thanks for the kind words and contributions. all the best.

You need to prioritize.

Wondered where you went. Bedging ebbs and flows. Make enough time to be aware of the ongoing evolution, but balance is good. You will always have family here. Write home once in awhile. Best of luck and enjoy your fleeting days.

Or once the kid is in pre-school and you are a post-graduate :)

To bfan, his family and his career, best of luck and we’ll see you soon. And to the Blazers, the love that brings us all together here. Raise your pints!!! Cheers!!!

and remember, part of mentoring troubled youth as well as bringing up your own children, is the responsibility that goes with ensuring they root for the correct team. Because no parent in their right mind would want their child to grow up a fan of the Grizzlies, Kings, Thunder…..or heaven forbid, the L@kers.

Little kids look GOOD in red and black!

You’ll be at home every night and you’ll have plenty of time to post. Getting a degree might cut in to your bedge time, but having a child is conducive to an active online life.

I’ve spent a lot of time on this post, read all the little blurbs and captions. I’ve laughed a lot and was touched by the little baby card thingy, but now it’s time for me to go and read other posts about other things, some basketball related, some not. And I leave you with this one thought… If anyone should happen to live in Denver, please go give anyone called Bird Man, he’s the one with bad tattoos and worse haircut, and give this Bird Brain the Tonya Harding special upon his legs and head.

I thought the same thing about 4 or 5 months ago, although I didn’t turn it into a fanpost. Our son will be 12 weeks old tomorrow and I keep saying that I’m done with BE and a few other sites that I check regularly, but I just keep coming back like a moth to a flame. It’s a nice break from the stress of raising a baby (which is both the greatest thing in the world, and the hardest thing in the world).

I think we’ll see you around… maybe not as often, but from time to time.

staring into my baby boy’s little face (once he’s born)

I highly recommend doing this while holding him next to the TV during Blazer games
