Title: Gonna be a Dad
Post by: morgardee on January 30, 2006, 01:22:11 PM
Well the first trimester is up so I can now announce that come this summer I'm going to be a Dad for the first time.  :D Sheryl is due in August. I'm pretty excitted about it. It will be fun to have someone to play with, building forts out of boxes and such. Boy or girl doesn't matter to me at this point as long as it's healthy. We have chossen to not know what sex the baby will be in advance.

The only down side is I'm going to have to take down my entire Joe room as that is the baby's room. I have an idea of what to do with the loose figures but the MOC stuff and probably a lot of army builders are going into the attic, where most of my vehicles are already. Pete (Deadshot) has seen that room so he knows how much stuff has to be taken down. This means all those other toy lines I have packed away in boxes are going to have to go to make room in the attic. Guess I'm going to have get my ebay seller account in use again. The plus is any money I make doing that will go to baby supplies.  :thumbsup:  :D

I'll make you a promise Mike. If it's a boy and he comes out of the womb with all the pyro and the chants then yes, I'll call him Goldberg.

Man, that would really hurt Sheryl.

If you want to stay married, never show that post to your wife. Mind you you should be prepared that there will be more blood than a Rick Flair match.  Under no circumstances should you name him Rick though.

Congrads Dave.  You can always set up a toy room in the basement.

Congrats to you and your wife Dave.  If it's a boy-give him afew years and I sure your Joe room can go right back up.  He'll inherit the stuff anyway. :lol:   If it's a girl, just save the stuff for your next child. :thumbsup:

Congratulations.

Ah the joys of fatherhood and GI Joe collecting.  No son don't rub Cobra Commander's logo.  No son his legs might break if you bend him that way(besides it makes me uncomfortable just seeing legs stretch that way).  No son the VAMP is not a stepping stool.  At least you have someone to share the hobby when they get a little older.

We just had our third over Christmas.  Enjoy the baby stage!!
