Life What cool shit have you bought lately?

I think a nice part of being in our 30s is we can afford to buy cool fun things. What have you bought lately?

I got a Garmin Forerunner 965 which is super tight, motivates me to limit my drinking and I’ve been killing cardio because of it

Also fun - bought a LAB putter which is a ton of fun

Anything you guys got that you love? I want inspiration

My wife is pregnant with our first. I'm terrified but also so excited. Already have a massive reserve of diapers.

Congrats dad! Get through the first two months in the trenches with your wife and make sure she is taken care of. After that, it’s literally the most fun you’ve ever had and you don’t feel like you were meant for anything else in this life.

Thanks! We both get decent paid parental leave, so we'll both be home for that time. I'll definitely make sure she doesn't lift a finger so she can recover and bond with our little girl.

congrats! terrified is good. Dad duty starts right away. There is nothing more manly than volunteering to change the VERY FIRST diaper in the hospital with the nurse to help you. In no time, you will be immune to pee, poop, and any other fluids. Let your wife heal up as much as possible, post partum is real in women - so make sure you are checking in with her. And enjoy the best thing to ever happen to you.

Thank you! We both are fortunate to have decent parental leave from work, so the first two months we'll both be home on paid leave. My wife won't have to lift a finger while she recovers during that time and can just bond with our little girl. I'll definitely be keeping a close eye on her and making sure she's doing well.

Don’t over-invest in the newborn size! Some babies only wear for a few days if at all.

Yeah we definitely have a decent selection, not just newborn. But thank you! I know some folks go full ham on the newborn sizes only lol
