Exciting News - UPDATE, my baby is here!

Post by VanderBoegh » Thu Mar 26, 2015 9:49 pm

I think only a few of you guys know about this, and with news this exciting, I'm yelling it from the mountaintops nowadays. I'm only about 6 weeks away from a complete life-changer... I'm going to be a Dad! Yup, come the middle of May, I'll have my very own baby girl.

My girlfriend and I put this gender reveal video together for our families as a Christmas present 3 months ago, but I figured some of you might be interested in spending 4 minutes watching. And if the news doesn't do much for you, maybe the fact that all of the music is mine might? (Well, all except the sweeping emotional song by "Two Steps From Hell" which comes at the end... I tried to replace it, but apparently YouTube won't let you replace videos with new files and keep play counts.... so I'm just leaving it there.)

Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

Can you believe it?!?! I still can't, sometimes. Crazy thing, I just bought a pink lampshade, and was excited about it... what's happened to me?!?!

P.S. her name is Espen.

Congrats to both of you!!!

Hey Matt, you will be writing different songs for a while ( ala Celine Dion ) but you might like the change. My wife and I have only one child ( a girl ) and she is my best friend and it has been amazing watching her grow up. Make sure you take lots of pictures, because it happens fast.

All the best

Tom

Wow, Matt, I thought you were gay :lol:

Mega congrats, bro. What an exciting event to look forward to. Daughters are special. I know from experience. Sons are cool, but daughters are just special.

Oh hey! Neat Vid. Cool music... sounds better than the usual royalty free stuff. :lol: :lol:

Thanks guys! Tom, I just bought a new cell phone which has a better camera on it than any other camera I've ever owned, and I'm expecting to fill up all sorts of memory cards with photos. Can't wait! And yeah, I'll probably have to start writing lullabies now that I'll have my own "test market" to try them out on, haha.

HA! Russ! You know what, homie?!? You owe me a beer for that!
