ofpeditor 0 Posted December 6, 2004 Run for the hills, there's a another OE on the way! After a trip to get another ultrasound, it's been confirmed - our family is growing +1. The missus started the nesting process; I've been leaving straw around the house for her to create her new roost and unruffle her feathers a bit. I've been practicing the Yes, Dear and started singing to her stomach; never thought this old man could be a softie, eh?   I got out a needle and thread and already stitched another 1-inch stocking for the holidays  Just thought I'd let some of you ol' BAS lads know and update you a bit on the going-ons in my life...beat you to it Ebud! hope everything is going well with everyone, and I'll be sure to stick around a bit more and fill you guys in on the progress.

ofpeditor 0 Posted December 7, 2004 hahaha...i signed my death warrant when the doctor told me she really was pregnant. i looked at the beaming young lady and said, "phew! its about time i have another voice to nag me!" hahaha...that went over realllly well. there's not a chance in hell i'm going to let myself miss this devil being born; i already let our admin know the ETA on his (or her for that matter - jesus, another ponytail stomping around the house?!) arrival. i'll apply for a LOA to help out. i wasn't sure how i'd feel hearing that i'd be a dad. i knew i'd love the news, i just didn't know that i'd be this elated. things have been going really well since getting back. my sister had her first kid, i found out i'll be a father (let's gooooooooo, let it be a boooy!), took some MUCH needed vacation, and signed on another contract. looks like i'll be able to keep food on the table a while longer! thanks for the kind words, guys...glad to see you're all still around and kicking!

ofpeditor 0 Posted December 7, 2004 Congratulations, say "good bye" to life as you know it and prepare for many a sleepless night Don't worry, you'll have your life back in 18 or so years Good luck 1 spawn is a big tranisition as it is...but i heard it's not quite as overwhelming as making the move from +1 to +2. my mother flew out to see us and made the comment that when dealing with children, 1+1 NEVER equals 2. the responsibility jump from an only child to having a brother or sister is exponential. with how i used to pick on my sisters, i can see that being extremely true. but it's purely endearing, we're a close-knit family even now. pray to God it's a boy first. otherwise i'm going to need to make sure every boy in town knows i have guns and knives. mwahahaahaha.

shinRaiden 0 Posted December 7, 2004 Either way, it's 18 years of OPFOR, and then however many more of OPFOR-in-laws. Enjoy the peace and quiet while you have it, a USMC Major friend came home from Kuweit to twins they nicknamed "Shock" and "Awe". This was after they hadn't been able to have kids since they got married about the time of GW1. Consider yourself lucky, and congratulations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cobra@pulse 0 Posted December 11, 2004 Congratulations dude! Yeah, if I was ya, enjoy the time now. You will end up with a house sounding like a construction site whn you have a mini OE! lol Congrats and Good Luck! p.s. You need to introduce it to the OFP forums within at least 6 weeks of birth. That way it could end up being a uber modder. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
