Let's start off with the big news, as you can see from the image above, I've got a new miniature! This pretty much speaks for itself, needless to say I'm very excited. For those keeping score at home, we've got one child (err, did), and she'll be eight by the time the second one is born. The due date, by the way, is the day after my firstborn's birthday! Now I can say cool things like "firstborn" too. Also, despite my "failed a dex check" comment a little while back, no this was not an happy accident, but something we've been planning on, so...huzzah!
In other news, today is my 36th birthday! For some reason that doesn't sound too old to me, and I've always liked the number '36' anyway, it's nice and even, so methinks this is going to be a good year. Coupled with the above baby news, make that a great year!Oh, and while we're on a personal note, and speaking of next year...I've also found gainful employment! After a year languishing in unemployment, substitute teaching, and teaching part-time in a private school I finally locked down something more permanent. I'll be starting the public school year this fall as a second grade teacher. So yeah, new baby on the way, birthday today, full-time job doing what I love...2010 is going to be awesome.
And I painted my 150th miniature for the year just last night as well!
Congratulations on both accounts!

Well done, sir!
ReplyDeleteCongrats buddy!!
ReplyDeleteMany congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI suppose all sorts of congratulations are in order! By the way... I think we are living very similar lives... age, second child inbound, no job, finally have a job... it's spooky. Of course, you're lucky, my second is due the end of August, and my first will only be 14 months old!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday and great news all around. Just turned 33 myself so mid thirties here I come. I think I still look pretty youthful but that is what they all say right.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
ReplyDeleteChildren having children...
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the upcoming addition! We went in for an ultrasound today and got another look at our 2nd and 3rd kids. They're looking strong and healthy, so that's a blessing.
ReplyDeletecongrats mate, very happy for you.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! While a pile of good news. Best wishes to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Mik! That's great news all around!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, I take it it was one of these trendy 'modern' doctors who talked you both into having a fish with a hole in it? Still, Billy the Fish played for Fulchester Rovers!
ReplyDeleteBig thumbs up.
ReplyDeleteCongrats mate :) Seems like everything has clicked into place recently!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! Make sure your wife knows how happy we are for all three/four of you =)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much to everyone for the well wishes! It's kind of weird sharing 'personal' information like this in a blog format, but in a weird way we're all friends anyway, just friends that have never met!
ReplyDeleteA couple of specifics in addition to the above:
@Raz File Chris: I didn't even consider twins until the ultrasound when the doctor said, "Let's see if we can find another one..." and I just about FREAKED out. So far just the one!
@Inner Geek: Very similar, we're a marketing firm's dream!
@MavCollecting: Lol!
@Brad: Yeah, I don't get to claim the "pretty youthful" look anymore, haha.
Congrats, a bit late but better late then never. Things are all turning up Gyro!
ReplyDeleteCongrates buddy ..... sorry for the late reply things been busy as well !!
ReplyDeleteHey you two, thanks! Don't worry about being late, we've got still got about seven and a half more months before you're "officially" too late anyway!
