Wow dude. Congrats!

Had my 1st in early twenties. It's tough, but you can do it.

The most important thing is open & honest communication with your girlfriend. She could (will) get emotional. Just support her. Do your part with the raising of the little one. Hang tough.

Congratulations Jay! My avatar is a reminder of my first born. I adopted the baby with the hammer in honor of my wife's pregnancy and eventual delivery of our first daughter. I have had this avatar for seven years. I now keep it for our second daughter who is currently still in diapers, but soon won't be. I have considered getting rid of the baby with the hammer. It is a little distracting. Perhaps when our youngest is out of diapers, I may consider something else.
You are pretty young to be a father. I don't know what kind of father I would have been at 18. Probably not a very good one. I was in my forties when the first was born. I know that I am a better father now than I would have been then.
Give your children plenty of attention and love. And never, ever, shirk from diaper duties. It is truly a great time to bond; and imagine if you were in a stinky mess and no one wanted to help you. Diaper rash is painful and most times avoidable.
Again, congratulations and I hope for the best throughout the pregnancy, the birth and beyond.

I was 19 when I had my daughter.

The best advice I can give is there are no manuals that could ever prepare you for it. You just take it day by day, doing the best job you can. Don't be afraid of not knowing what to do - it is one of those things that you learn as you go.

Congratulations and I hope you & your family enjoy many blessings in your future together.

First of all congratulations , i am like 18-19 myself and it sound very scary for me to even think about being a dad , so it must be pretty hard on yourself. This may sound rude but if you not making serious money or essential amount of money on domains and web, you should seek a job i think. And again i dont know how much or what you are making but to start a family at any age financial source is essential . But then again like i said i am young myself , i have no idea about starting a family or what you are making in this business.

Best of luck

IMHO

I think it's too early for you to become a father, nevertheless congrats to you and I hope you will take care of your child. It's a blessing.

First I had read 'Jay is going to be a lady!' huh :D

Now I've replaced the aging bulb.

Congrats ;)
