The last several months, and especially weeks, have been shadowed with anticipation and preparation for the coming baby. Stacey and I have had a wonderful time planning for the arrival of our child. My wife and I have an amazing relationship and have always been enamored with each other, but I feel like the reality of becoming a more realized family has certainly created an even more intense love and admiration for each other. The thought of Stacey as a mother warms my heart more than you can imagine. She is such a beautiful person who is able to love so completely. Our child is certainly blessed to have such a mother. The house preparations are basically complete and the nursery is quite cute if you ask me. It is a sobering feeling when baby paraphernalia begins to crop up around your home. High chairs, bouncy seats and strollers definitely signal a new chapter in your life. I am excited, anxious, nervous and scared-to-death about the arrival of the baby. Our due date is August 12th, so we are in the final countdown. I posted an ultrasound pic earlier this year so I believe it is only appropriate to show you all the progress that we've made. The following is a 3D Ultrasound pic of the monkey:
The baby looks just like Stacey as a baby in the 3D Ultrasound pics. Lucky little monkey. Dad's a bit goofy looking. The outpouring of love from family and friends throughout this experience has been staggering. Stacey and I both fully realize how wonderful it is to have such awesome folks in our life. This child will not want for love, that's for sure.
In the meantime, Stacey is hanging out at home and resting up for the baby. We have to keep her distracted as to prevent her from getting so bored she could cry. So far, so good. Thank you all for reading. All three of you. Hopefully I'll be posting some big news soon. Until then, stay clean and keep the dream.
Take care,
Feb
