Now that's a story you don't hear every day... Congratulations! It's great that your ex wants to involve you in Lena's life and vice versa. I hope you enjoy spending time with your beautiful daughter.

Thanks for all the warm fuzzy wishes, TTLG. I have kept this under wraps from all of you, including my closer friends I communicate off of the forums with for a couple months now. It has been murder keeping it quiet though.
Want to hear something amazing? A week before Jen told Lena what was going on, they were in the car together. They live not but a mile from where I grew up. So, they happened to be driving down the street and Lena got all excited and pointed and squealed "OOOH look at that house mommy. I LOVE that house. I want to live there when I grow up".
It was the house I spent 17 years in as a child.
Jen had to pull over her car and burst into tears.

This is some crazy news gunny, I wish you all the best. Hopefully your wife is on board as well and isn't giving you much of a hard time. She's gorgeous.

Why did your ex wait so long for the paternity test? As you mentioned, there were major clues.

Man that story is awesome. Gives a very warm and flowing 'life is fantastic' vibe. Cheers gunny!

Wow.
I'm glad it's working out for you gunny.
This is my most base nightmare - that someone from my past turns up with a kid and says he/she is yours. Actually it'd be fine now, but up to 2 years ago it would have been a life ruiner.

What an amazing experience. I'm so happy for you, and I'm glad to hear that you and your daughter are now connected. All the best for the future.

Great news, GS. Wow, what a wild story, a nice surprise for you. Probably not the best day for the ex-dad, do you know the guy?
Regardless, congrats, and hey, Father's Day isn't too far away now...

The more I read this, the more wonderful it is. It could have been a nightmare. I'm just so happy for you.
