Update

Went to the Code Enforcement office today to check into permits. They told me since my wall will be within 7ft of the property line that I have to go infront of the town's planning commission meeting in September and produce plans and drawings to wether they approve it for building my addidtion or not.....

Great!!! This is a small setback, but hopefully we can overcome this and get the addition built and the room ready for the newborn.

Thankyou to you all for the Congrats and words of wisdom

Congrats Brotha. We have our first coming in November. We couldn't be anymore excited.
My wife wasn't too bad with the rushing to get the nursery ready but since finding out what the sex was last week she has been on fire. I went from knowing in the back of my mind that I would have to paint the room that is to become the nursery and get baby furniture to now replacing the carpet in the only two rooms downstairs with carpet, finally paint the foyer and stairwell and landing upstairs, convert the living room to a play room which includes building a window seat in the bay window, building a shelving system for the one wall in that room and now we are no longer going with a solid paint color in the nursery and now I am installing chair rail with one color up top and stripes in the lower portion. So be prepared. It may seem all calm at first but eventually she will start cracking the whip on you.

Coingrats again.

Update

Well, today I went to the city to see about permits to enclose my carport for the additional space......
My house & addition has to be at 15ft above sea level.......... right now its maybe 5ft.... Itd cost me $350 to have an engineer with a fancyass GPS tell me its 5ft, put it on paper, and sign it. Then hand that $350 piece of paper to the city zoning commission for them to tell me it has to be raised up about 10ft to meet new flood plain elevation requirements. To raise my house up 10ft and add the addition would cost me more than I am paying for the house after 30years + interest!

WOW what a way to spend my day off........... I need a cigar......
I think i'm going to work on my pipe rack idea in my carport.... and have a few drinks.

Went to the first Ultrasound and we had originally thought she was 7weeks along........ Boy were we wrong!!! She is 9weeks and a day!! They gave her a due date of March 2nd.

Everything looked OK.
Strong heartbeat, everything is forming how it should, and I am getting to feal more like a Dad, now that I have seen some proof. Even know the "proof" looked like a little peanut with four bumps on it!!!

Congratulations! Being a dad is a lot of work, but with a huge amount of reward!

07-29-2010, 03:47 PM

Congratulations are definitely in order!
Fatherhood is one of the greatest things in the world. It's got it's up days, and it's down, and you will lose sleep, but it's all worth it.
Just make sure you don't get puked in when you fail to properly burp your little one! (Yes, I did say puked in...not on, in.)

pektel · 07-29-2010, 03:51 PM

Congratulations! Being a dad will forever change you. I have a 3 year old son Alexander and a 3 week old son, Ashton (named before I got into cigars). It's a whole different kind of fun now.

Take advantage of the quiet sleep right now. That's about to change.
