Its Official
 

Well as many of you know I have been out of the benching game for about two months as well as slowed my roll at forums lately. I've been super busy as well as doing some planning for things to come in my life. As of last night it is official that my girl and I will be having a baby. That is my main focus as of now. This will also be my 1st kid. I don't know when or if I will be able to get back on my game. I will still frequent the forum and hope that I will be able to more often than what I have been lately. I will be selling of some more hardware to make room so look out for it.

Congrats Nip!

congratz bro. Hope all goes well for you in the future.

Congrats Nipper.
Family comes ahead of other stuff. Drop in when you can.

Fantastic!!! Wonderful news and congrats!!!











And do not worry.... That's the reason many of us left for a while and came back. You will find the need for personal time down the road:thumbsup::D:clapping:

Wow congratulations!

LOL Need for personal time and time for personal time are 2 different things without a good support structure. Family or good friends with kids help. GrandMa can come down to spend an evening with the baby so you and your girl can go out and have some fun :)

LOL, it's about time you joined the parenting squad!

Prepare to be sleepless n' penniless... but it's all worth it!

Congrats man... Drink one for me! :happy2:

Congrats Nip, sleep while you can, the fun is just beginning.

HAHA thanks guys. This will prolly be my most challenging adventure yet. Made it to 33 with no kids but now its on.

Woot Congrats Nip !!!

Great news :)

It's on like Donkey Kong!

How far from doomsday... i mean the due date are y'all?

Figuring 1st part of June.

congrats nip!

Congrats Travis!! It surely is an adventure although a rewarding one.

Summertime baby's are easy. You won't have to deal with pita winter clothes and blankies, etc. for a while.

Congrats Nip! :D

You just got owned! :taunt: for 18-23 years :good:

Congrats bud, many good times ahead...best of luck for all three of you!:Hi:

Congrats nip....at least u know how to stay up allllll night!!!!

Congrats!

Get ready for some high-MHz sounds late at night and I don't mean the machine....

All the best to the three of you. :clapping:

Well the day is closer now than ever. Due date is the 18th but I'm calling it sometime this week. June 11th to be precise! :cool3:

I know this forum is made up mostly of guys but some of you can relate to this. Here are some pics of the nursery which I finally finished through all the craziness and sickness I have been going through.

Nevermind the dog gate on the 1st pic. Keepin the dogs out of her room. This is our 1st child so we are so excited but scared in the same sense. Her name is Alaina Leigh. When she drops I'll drop some pics on ya. Stay tuned...

Great job on the room Nipster. Enjoy every second with her. :)

Can't tell you how happy I am to look at these photos Drnip. YOu are gonna be the best daddy ever! :clapping:

Nothing but good times ahead and thank you for sharing it with your brothers here at oca :D

Dr. Nip
Great room for the little one. All I can say is hang on it is quite the ride. Best day of my life was when my little girl was born.

That is one sweet looking nursery. Who painted the tree and birds?

I'm certainly one who can relate. I spent months building a cradle before our first was was born.

Could not agree more! Very nice job! No fear my friend you will handle this just fine and if you ever have a question or two just ask away the brotherhood. Here are some seasoned members with lots of experience in this field as well. :D ;)

Thanks guys. I did it all myself from the floors to the ceiling. The birds and trees where a vinyl sticker.

The o lady wants me to quit my job and be a stay at home dad the 1st few years! :thumbsup:

But in the same sense that is bad on funds for overclocking. :thumbdown:

Still kicking the idea around . She makes way more cash than I do though. Maybe I can get a part time job to foster the fever!

Congrates Travis

See a baby born will be one of your lifes highlights when you look back in twenty years from now. It is truly a mirical.

Enjoy this time as the next 12 months will be the easiest of the next 22 years to follow .

once they are mobil the game changes considerably.....
then they want to play sports .....
Then they can't wait to get to school
then they don't want to go to school
then they form opinions of there own
Then they think they are smarter than you
Then they think your rules are to stringent
Then they want a car
then they want to date
Then they think your rules are total Bullshit
Then they want to go to the most exspensive college as far away form you as possible
Then they apoligize for putting you through hell on earth as the first college loan payment comes due
Then they want you to watch the grand kids for them while they and their significant other hit the town .....

Then they stick you in a home and never visit ...........

J/king

You will have the time of your life bro ......... :thumbsup:
It goes so fast .... make sure you pay attention and get lots of pics .......

So true man, so true.

i become an uncle 2 days ago...

just letting you know..dogs are envious too...proper training for young babies and dogs are important...

advance baby day

Piece of advice. If you hear something that sounds like someone just dumped a 5 gallon bucket of water on the floor it is time to get to the hospital. You are in for the most amazing day of your life.

damn travis!!! that room is kick ass...


no mini ITX system for the baby? with a mini SS? :laughing:

Oh she will have the latest and greatest, you know this.

be careful with the fermis they get warm :ohcrap: hey see graphics card and bottle warmer :Dizzy:

Excellent job done on the baby room. The baby gate is a must. Obce she starts moving around, you'll have baby gates everywhere.... my living room kind of looks like a baby prison camp. :laughing:

I bet the wife is more than ready to get that baby out... :thumbsup:

Travis I'm real excited for ya man. Pay attention to these guys though. This first year has blown by. I'm always wondering about all the stuff I missed cause I was always working. Stay at home dad don't sound too bad. :D

Say hello to the newest little Overclockaholic!

CONGRATS!!!!! She's a beauty Nip, all the best man.

Awesome! Love every minute with her bro.

Thanks guys. I never imagine the joy, love, excitement, happiness, etc. I would feel until I saw her in person for the 1st time. Melted my heart I tell ya, melted my heart!

This here is something I'm looking forward to. We're 6 months along, so the excitement part of it is building fast :)

very happy for you and your wife Nip.
