    Best payday ever

    Well I was expecting to be loading my trailer about 2 hours ago(6 o clock my time). Last night my wife wound up in er with the flu and was admitted to keep an eye on her and the baby(she's 9 months pregnant). Well I went to sleep about 5 a.m. cuz I figured we would be leaving and if not I could at least go make a quick trip to get some cash. At 6 I woke up to the doctor letting us know she's in labor and is already 6 cm dilated. This will be our 2nd. Ahhh I'm excited! BEST PAYDAY EVER!!!!!

    Congratulations on the addition to your family, hope mother and child are doing well. Some of us will celebrate with you, cigars and brandy in the library? Guess I'll have to call the butler in on his day off. "yeah right"

    Well after almost a week of false labor and a day of the real deal, the newest member of the family is here! Five pounds fifteen ounces. I've probably stripped her weight in romex since we've been here also. I've had a stash of things in my truckbed for breaking down when I go out to smoke. Also we thankfully had success breastfeeding which saves a LOT of money(parents u know what I'm talkin about). Thanks everbody for your congrats and support!
    -Matt
