A Death, A Pregnancy, and the future loss of my Grow Room

[Safari]

Hello all! This month has been the single craziest of my whole life. My father lost his battle with Cancer in the middle of November which has been more than I really know how to deal with. My family and my MJ hobby have helped me get through it so far. Then about a week after the funeral, I find out my wife is pregnant with our second child. Now this is a very happy occasion, but the timing is very bad. My wife has been at a new job for about 2 months and for her to get a paid maternity leave she has to have been there for a year, which ain't gonna happen unless she can some how carry the baby for like 10 months. My wife was also very, very sick for the first 4 months of her first pregnancy, and it is beginning to look like it won't be any different this time around. A new baby also means the eventual loss of my grow room because we have a 3 bedroom house and I grow in the one open bedroom, which I will lose once the new baby comes. (I grow only for myself and no one buy my wife knows about it) I vow to not stop growing, but I haven't quite figured out how yet, but if I have to go micro I guess I will. To top this all off I work retail management and with the holidays here I am working 70 hour weeks now through the end of the year.

Now I have always thought I could handle just about anything, but I'm not sure how many more things life can throw at me all at one time. I'm not really posting this to find answers, I guess I just needed someone to listen, or in this case read.

hey bro i feel ya.seems like life like to throw everything at youa t once. makes me wonder why sometimes. but you sounds like a strong cat so keep your chin and head held high. your gonna be a new daddy.. sometimes i figure when life tosses all this craziness at you. it just makes you stronger. you feel you can handle it and show your self you are confident... stay up mang good things in the future for you... oh what about using a c24 or c17 and do small 400wt 4-8 plant scrogs.

Thats Wonderful news about your wife being pregnant. The main thing now is to look after your wife and keep her as comfortable as possible, and that she pulls through the next few months with out being too sick.

I am sorry to hear about your father. Cancer is a horrid horrid desease. My mom passed away from it 10 years ago.

Perhaps the new baby can sleep in his/her brothers/sisters room and then you wont have to give up your grow space so quickly well at least until they both grow older and will be needing a room each.
By then you may move to a new house with large enough rooms for everyone. Anything can happen...

Thanks for stoping in Swerve and Ronley.

I guess what ever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.

I will have to go to some kind of cab. I have the 400w, but I don't know where I could put the cab.

you have at least 1 year before you have to give the 3rd bedroom to your unborn child. So your growroom isnt done yet. go to home depot and get creative, make some sort of growbox and put it in your bedroom with the wife after the baby moves to the bedroom.
