Well folks, be ready for a surprise. Here’s the story…
Last time I briefly mentioned that I had a personal family issue going on and that I was asking for your thoughts to be with me and my family at this time. What was going on was that my wife and I have been trying to conceive for some time, but it wasn’t happening. The doctors were saying she wasn’t producing eggs and thus, infertile. We were crushed. But slowly the changes started. My wife had a little voice telling her something else was going on. After two tests confirmed, its officially true:
She wasn’t producing eggs, because SHE’S ALREADY PREGNANT!
Yes, apparently she’s already 4.5 weeks along. Yes, my boys can swim.
We’re pretty happy right now and we’re still on the high of trying to get over the extreme low and now onto the reality of the situation. Its almost funny in a way. But evidence is showing that we will have pitter patter of lil’ feet come September, early October.
Many things have to be figured out. But now we’re on a mission. To get our cards paid off by May and sell my shit for good at the cons this year. My dreams of making my comics and art career full time is nigh. All at once, its scary and exciting. I mean, now I have the chance to prove that my art can put food on our table. And also there is the chance of failing. But like it or not, I got that opportunity, a tad quicker than I expected.
In the coming months, I am going to be saving, producing more work and selling hard at all the cons. Cause its not just my career now, its my family. It’s a great opportunity and its what I’ve always wanted. I’m just scared about that.
Being a dad full time will have its challenges, but overall, I am excited to start it. I hope I don’t fuck it all up. My dad once told me that no parent is given a HOW TO book when becoming a parent. They just have to rely on the kind of person they are. To mold a human life. I’ve created comics, paintings, songs, stories, clay figures, tshirts, etc. But this lil’ guy will be my greatest creation. It will be everything my son Cody is. Only this time I get to be there from day one. It blows me away when I think about it.
We got a lot of time till September. Many travels and events to come. Wish me luck on this new journey. Its not the kid that scares me, but that my dreams are knocking at my door. I only hope I can do right by you and my family. But I’m willing to open the door.
Luvs to me droogies out there.
