This is clearly a personal blog of my thoughts, but details of the ins and outs of my days don’t really show up here. For example, you might not have known that the school year is almost over for most of the kids I work with, my brother just graduated college, my sisters gonna get her license in a few months, I live in a house full of people (not just my wife), I bike to work, and in about a month or less I’m going to be a father.
That last one is the Big Day I’m thinking about. With it so close on the horizon priorities and time management is being shifted around. I still love to write, so I’m not saying the blog will disappear, but it is likely to change forms. For example, I might just start posting links to things I find interesting each day. I’m not really sure at this point, but I just wanted to give you for warning. I love the consistency of a daily post, but if it’s too much work that might be gone as well.
No need to make this long and drawn out, just wanted to leave you with a little something. Who knows, as inspiration strikes me right now I might write enough posts to fill up the month of June. If you want to be on the immediate notification about the baby list your probably going to have to get in touch with me.
So, I guess the only thing left to do is get some predictions on the birth time. Dates are boring, I want to know what time (hour and minute) you think the baby is coming…
3:15 pm
Hmmm….After your absolute busiest and most exhausting day this month- whenever you’re so completely tired all you wanna do is sleep. THAT will be the day she decides to come, and probably around 3 or 4 in the morning. hehe At least that’s how it’s worked out with me and my labor experiences.
So make sure you guys keep *everything* low-key, low-stress, and get plenty of rest EVERY single day. Make it a priority above all else. Believe me, you’ll thank yourself later.
Oh…and I say she goes 16 days past her “due date”. 😉 Those dates are almost always way off, especially for first time moms.
FWIW, I’d absolutely love to be on your “baby list” and get updates as the time approaches. I would consider it a great honor to be able to pray you guys through your labor and delivery. 🙂
Peace,
Jamie
Thanks but im gettin my license in about 2 months… not several 😉
excited for the baby…. watcha gonna name her? 😉
Congrats on your impending fatherhood. You have heard it many times I am sure, but let me just tell you anyway that your life is going to change in a big way. You will never get enough sleep again, for one thing. You will hear God’s words for you every time you say to your kid, “If you would just listen to me and do what I tell you . . .”
Also, I just betcha you will be less keen on certain other things that used to sound so appealing, such as, say, turning off the heat for the winter, when your little one is there with you as well . . . 😉
