My name is Chacal and I am "special"

[ZaQ]

Go for Springers..........

[BigFishFever]

Chacal...I feel your pain and your Joy...I got the same news this time last year...it is an awesome experience that will change your life forever.
I too had to do the consolidation thing, paint the spare room, move everything, paint the nursery...found we didnt want a built in cabinet, tear it out, repaint...
Then the Wife says...oh We need the bathroom painted/decorated for the baby...OK got that done, then OUR bedroom...then the garage, then the patio..patio cover....garage...UGH nesting instincts..

But that little one is so precious, even when balling at the top of her lungs, and the restless nights...but they go away, and life is always grand..

Good luck! and Congradulations!

Chacal I am in the same boat, Our first baby is due June 28th. Hopefully I will make it through springer season before it hampers my fishing to much.

Ours is due March 20th. The heartbeat is cool...but wait till the ultra-sounds.

[high_arc]

Yeah, the ultrasound is very cool. We are expecting are 2nd on April 3. I hope the springers come in soon, not much fishing time left!!

[Chacal]

Hmmm, springers.

Well, I think I am going to finish the room tomorrow, then next weekend I can go fishing.

Yeah. That's what I am going to do.

Anyway, I am all paint-covered now. :smile:

My life is a changin'. Finding ways to go fishing, while having a pregnant wife is a skill I am going to have to develop.

Last Friday the wife and I go to the doctor to hear the heartbeat of the baby that was "allegedly" growing inside of her. I didn't really believe it because pregnancy tests and doctor's can be wrong you know. [img]graemlins/dork.gif[/img]

So, the little heartbeat came over the monitor and suddenly, we both realized that this was going to happen. Like in six months we were going to have a kid. A bambino. A mini-me.

As the heartbeat raced throughout the room (at three months they sound pretty quick), I was convinced the kid knew who his parents were going to be, and that's why his heart was racing. I would be nervous too kid.

Anyway, we go to the building supply store to set up the nursery and office -- consolidating two offices into one. My task is to empty out both rooms, spackle and then paint them. Then build two new desks we bought and set up the office, then work on the nursery.

My plan was simple, Saturdays work on the home improvement projects, Sundays hit the river with my dad for some much needed sturgeon fishing. This year has been so bad I didn't even get my license until Friday...jeez.

I am all set and working hard today when I call my pop to see how he is doing on the river (he got to go sturgeon fishing today...jerk :grin: ).

"Patrick, I have bad news. Sturgeon fishing is closed on Sundays."

Heh, guess I should have checked that huh? So, tomorrow instead of floating in search of gators, I am going to be huffing paint fumes in our office. Who knows, maybe I will finish it?

I will see you guys next Saturday on the river!

Who thought knocking his wife up would be the end of it...

[Bank Maggot]

you can still fish tommarrow, you just have to release them all!

[Hoosier Daddy]

You just think it's hard juggling fishing with a pregnant wife. Wait till you have to juggle it with a wife AND KID!!
It's worth it though. Congrats
