Let the cat out of the bag
 

I guess it's safe to let the cat out of the bag now. Found out last September the wife is pregnant with baby #2. I've kept it fairly quiet because it was a bumpy start with a high risk pregnancy. We didn't plan on having anymore after all of the problems my wife had during the last pregnancy, and she developed a thyroid issue during pregnancy which meant we were at a very high risk of having a baby with severe probems so she had an IUD put in(even though they said with her thyroid levels she had virtually no chance of getting pregnant anyways). WELL that didn't stop my swimmers from conquering there objective, and her getting pregnant again(A nice waste of over $800 for that dam thing). Because of her getting pregant with an IUD and the thyroid issue, she was deemed high risk. They got the IUD removed no problem, and the Dr was dumbfounded as he said it was the 1st time he had seen someone get pregnant with one still in place properly.

It's been a bumpy ride to say the least with all of the nauseua she's had, but we had the ultrasound yesterday, and they said everything looks good. Plus her latest blood tests say her thyroid issue has corrected itself and her levels are good now. And they say we are going to have another boy due May 26th.

So if I'm not around to much, I'm either busy with a preggo, or dead because I said something wrong and pregancy hormones caused her to shoot me.

Ferm, that's wonderful news! Congrats. Happy to hear your wife's thyroid problems seem to be fixed and all is progressing well. As to the above comment, I suggest that you hope for the last one.... it's more merciful. Can I have the smoker if she does? :hide:

In the spirit of what Destroyer wrote -- I got dibbs on the Duraburb.
And I owe you some money Ferman. Still a little rocky for me and my health but I will survive, hey hey.. I got a prop (your prop) and $300 greenbacks if you think that is OK for the number on that High Five, interest included?? Geez I am embarassed.. Don't look like I will be able to take you fishin for re-payment aftrer all. I have only been twice since November.. Congratulations on #2. AND may I suggest you tread light, she is a keeper. LOL!

CONGRATS poppa!!!!!

$300, I was only wanting $75 for that one. The other prop I was wanting $125 for because I know they are about $700 new now. I need to get my trailer cleaned off and come see you and get that steel. I got a couple people wanting me to build smokers for them after they seen mine.

And I'm trying to bite my tongue alot with the wife. I'm one of those people without a filter on my mouth, so being careful with my words is TOUGH! And I think the wife would fight yeah for the DURABURB RIDGE, it's a good bit faster tahn her car AND can haul around 8 people doing it.

congrats ferm. we have 2 kids also, i told my wife i would have had 2 or 3 more, but i will never live with a pregnant woman again.
best of luck

Congrats Ferm!

congrats Ferm. I wish I knew what it was gonna be like...... I would have had no kids instead of two. but i'm sure yours are gonna be great.

Congratulations to you and the missis!! Hope everything goes well for you all!

Congrats Ferm! How's your other son doing? Tearing down engines yet?
