Big news

[chrismhaase]

I just found out the other week that my wife is pregnant. We are going to probably have the baby sometime in January. We should have a better idea at the next doctors visit. I am hoping for a son so I can be a coach for sports teams and do guy things. So until this happens my tank upgrade is on hold and I will just have to watch everything grow in my tank. Then when the corals get big we will be forced to get a larger tank.

I will keep everyone posted, especially when we find out if it is a boy or a girl.

Does anyone paint murals? I want to do an underwater scene in the baby room. Nemo, some coral, maybe a whale and some cool fish in an underwater scene. Also if anyone has done this I would appreciate suggestions and pictures.

Chris

Chris,

Awesome news! Boy or Girl you will have a blast. My little girl is amazing.

Good luck on the mural, my old house had an awesome mural in the spare bedroom of stork a stork bringing a baby and an island ocean theme. Way cool wish I knew who did it.

Cheers,
Chris

congrats!!!!! For the mural, ask Reefartist Carol, if she can't do it she will probably know someone who can.

If you decide you want to try to paint the mural yourself, I have an overhead projector that helps a lot with that. I used it to paint Thing 1 and Thing 2 on my daughters walls.

Not for nothing, but FMLA is good for both parents and newborns sleep a lot. That time period is when I did my concrete background. Not to mention, babies love watching things move around.

You are on the ride of your life. It is a blast.

FMLA?? I might be missing something or maybe it is a "parents" term that I am unaware of but what is FMLA?

Also, thanks for the offer. I might take you up on that.

I have a boy and a girl, they are both a miracle. You have been blessed with this baby boy or girl, just pray for a healthy one. I can tell you this, you have a 50% chance of getting a boy;-)

Your life is about to change, for the better!!!!

Congrats to Mom and Dad.

FMLA allows you to take up to 12 weeks off and guarantees you will have your job. It is not paid, but fathers qualify too.

Fair warning, they get their legs before they get their brain, as evidenced by my daughter at Ft. Desoto on Sunday.
