Another maggot on the way

**Vinman** · 12-14-2005, 10:17 AM

There are a few maggots that already know this piece of info that I'm about to share so I thought I'd let the cat out of the bag so to speak and share with the rest of the group.

Mrs V and I are going to add to the collective this coming July. It is very stange to think that I am going to be a father, am I really old enough to be a father? Kind of mind blowing.

It was a strange way that we found out. Mrs. V had been scheduled to have some surgery on her knee and we were waiting for an appropriate donor graft to come in. The doc's office finally called to say that the graft was ready and her surgery was going to be the following week. unfortunately the graft did not pass the screening process and it was put off for about the 3rd time in 3 months. Then later the same week another graft was released from the tissue bank and yet again we got the call saying it was time for surgery and it would be on Monday. It is now Thursday.

At which point Mrs V realizes that she has been feeling kind of queazy and not sure whn her last period was...... uh oh!!!!!

So off to the store for a home test, its positive, now what.... its now Friday and her surgery date is coming up..... I can tell you this was a very tense time....very stressful.

Off to the OB/GYN for a confirmation on Friday morning. And as we thought that test was positive too.

Off to the knee surgeon to let them know and to see if she can still have surgery or not..................NOT.

So anyway Mrs V is about 10 weeks or so pregant and we'll be parents come mid-july.

We are both excited and nervous this is will be our first child. Very crazy times these are.

I've been feeling queasy this last couple of days but attribute it to Gincognito dropping a torch down a stairwell onto my head. Should I get a testing kit?

Congatulations, mang!

**Vinman** · 12-14-2005, 10:23 AM

Anytime you come in contact with Gin you should have some sort of testing kit on hand. Not sure exactly what you'd be testing for but have on ready just in case.

Thanks everyone.

right on Vin! anytime that kid gets hurt, you'll just look at him and say "if your metatarsel really was strained you'd be hopping around like a flamingo at a hip hop show....get back out there and huck something!" You'll be a great Dad.

Same thoughts I had and how many other first dads, especially here? Am I old enough really is not the question we are asking though IMO. It is "am I mature enough to do this (and how will it impact my ski time

).

Yes you are and you can manage your time to get in plenty of skiing, this I have learned.

I have have to vote for July 18 (my bday) !

Huge congrats to both of you and I will say, bring up my thread of Going to be a Dad and there is some great info in there, I still go back to read more. If you want to that is.

Awesome news!

Way to go....kids change your life - it is a great thing. I like to focus on the fact that there are more good times than bad.

Here's the little grom's first pic

I know that just looks like a blob but the doc said the head was the far right blob, the middle blob is the body and the 2 little things sticking off were an arm and a leg maybe.
