Yesterday when I got home from work my wife told me we are going to be welcoming a new member of the family. She got a positive test in the morning. Big surprise for both of us as measures were taken to prevent this. As I get older I firmly believe God has a plan and he wanted us to have this child!

I have a lot of emotions as any father has when he hears the news. Happy. Oh crap and how can I handle another!!(or with the first one "I don't even know how to be a dad!"

Since we only have a 3 bedroom house looks like my plans to turn the attached garage into a 20x24 living addition(2 bedrooms and a open office type room) has been moved up from a would be nice to a we gotta do this. I have a contractor coming out to give me a price to lay the sub floor and a heating guy to run the duct work and returns. Those things I can't do. The rest will be all on me!

Actually, I have enjoyed being a dad to our 3. One has left the nest. The next is straining to leave the nest. The third is quite content where he is for the time being.

Me n' the Mrs waited a long time to start our family. Made the financial side a lot easier, but the physical side is challenging. Keeping up to a 14 year old at 56 is a bit past me. Too long behind a desk and too many injuries.

Yeah,
My last one was a surprise to me too.
I joke that if I had followed any of my Native American Heritage, she would be named "You're WHAT???"

Congrats and enjoy the journey.

BTW, I've always heard that sharing a room with a sibling teaches life lessons you can't learn anywhere else.
