Welcome to the club! I'd say an unusual number of us married to Korean women seem to have boys. That is, of course, if your wife is Korean. Regardless, Congrats!

Thanks. I got here almost 3 years ago to date and had no idea how long I was going to stay. I started out as a hagwon teacher before I jumped ship to climb the corporate ladder here. Man these past 3 years have whizzed by. And now I'm married with a baby on the way. Unreal. I miss my family and friends in Cali - I'm here now because my wife is having her baby here and I've come to be with her for the birth - but I love the Motherland! Razz Life is good...can't complain.

Thanks, man. Yeah my wife is Korean...but so am I. I'm a KA. Damn when it does it hit you that you're going to be a dad?! She's due to give birth any day now and I still can't believe it.

Good luck pal. My wife and I had a kid 8 months ago. Now I'm always broke.
I never get laid. I suffer from sleep depravation. My wife is also on
Prozac and Xanax for PPD. I see my friends about 10% as much as
I used to. I used to be a member of several clubs in Seoul, not no
more.

Did I say congrats?

The only thing you're having is a panic attack

SHE is the one having a baby

Silly of me to just assume that you were not of Korean descent. Nonetheless, it's good having a boy! I think I would've freaked out about a lot more if I'd had a a girl as my first kid. You're in for some sleepless nights, but I wouldn't change a thing.

Congrats!

Welcome to the club and all the best!

Married to a Korean as well and our first was a boy too....

Get ready for sleep deprivation and a lot of joy. When you fly back to the US, remember to contact the airline and reserve a bassinet on the plane. These are a godsend for long flights. Our son and daughter both used them when they were babies.

Our son is starting school this fall, time flies.
