No it's not 'till Christmas, or New Years or even my birthday. That's more like 40 days till 40. No, it's about 24 days, give or take a week or two for our first born enters this little place we like to call Earth. Although it's technically on Earth already, (we are not getting it shipped from Mars or anything) it's still in mama's belly causing all kinds of chaos. ;-) Baby is moving around a lot, getting ready for it's Grand Entrance, it's big debut, it's first breath of Oxygen and many more first. There will be tons of first for me. While I've been around little ones for quite sometime, this little one is actually going home with me. I get to keep this one. Feed it, change it, burp it so on and so forth.
Current status:
House is 98% ready, we/I still need to move somethings around, build the little baby crib that's going to be in our bedroom and get car seat installed.
Mama: Cool as the other side of the pillow. She's ready to have this kid today! She's a little uncomfortable and the kid is moving a bunch.
ME: I"m a quite wreck! Getting a little freaked out. We are having a kid!! It's really happening! Really, really, really happening. I'm filled with tons of weird emotions that I don't know how to express. I'm excited, happy, scared, confused, overly cautious and mentally tired. If you see me and I look like I have gas, that's probably why, not gassy. :-) I feel that there are so many things I need to do, but don't know how to start them. I feel that I just jumped off a an airplane with a parachute and realized I didn't pack a 'chute, but my laundry instead!!
I talked to my best friend today and he told me that he's confident that I'll but under control. Things will get done with precision, it will all go as plan and I should be fine throughout the entire experience. Once it's all over with and there's some down time (not sure when that'll be) that all of those emotions will come crashing down for a little bit, then it's over. I hope he's right. He's got two kids, so I guess he knows a little bit about it.
I'm as ready as I'll ever be, I think. Lets' do this. Not sure if I'll post again before the little one gets here, so wish me luck. So here it goes.
God Bless....

I'm glad that it appears that I am cool and calm, because on the inside, I'm really beginning to get anxious! But thanks for the vote of confidence, honey! I know that you are going to be the most amazing father, and one of the things I'm looking forward to the most is seeing you with our child. I love you!
