Great News!!

Post by do57672 » Wed Nov 21, 2012 6:10 pm

I haven't posted on the forum in awhile because my CPAP therapy has been going really well thankfully. But I still get on here pretty much everyday and read the topics so I feel like a part of the "family" though, so I wanted to share my news. My and wife are expecting our first child on June 18!!! Just thought I would share with the group.... I'm really excited and wanted to tell people. lol

On a side note I guess you could say CPAP helped with our new expected family member as I've been married for a little over 1 1/2 years but we didn't even share a bed for the first 7 months because on my snoring. Now since CPAP we get to sleep together every night and I've got a lot more energy that I didn't even realize I was missing.

Anyway hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!!

Awesome! Congratulations to you and your wife!!

IMO, there is nothing greater in the world than the blessing of children in the lives of parents. You will get so much more back than you will ever have to give or sacrifice. Also, congratulations on having successful treatment for your Sleep Apnea!

Well, needless to say CPAP has REALLY worked well for you in the area of new energy!
All kidding aside, congrats to both of you. Looks like now you'll REALLY need your cpap therapy more than ever!

Congrats!
