Child birthing class

Tamara & I went to our first child birthing class this evening to better prepare us for when the baby arrives. It not only prepares the Mother but it prepares the Dad as well! While she's in labor, I'm going to be her most important supporter during these times. Helping her breathe, keeping her calm and focused is all apart of the game plan. Keeping cool, calm, and collective has always been my specialty so I know that she'll be fine.

When I asked her if she enjoyed the class she replied, 'It was really fun and funny.' It's hard for us to go places and do things without laughing. I wouldn't want to bet on it but I'm definitely going to try and make her laugh a lot throughout the labor. After awhile, she might want to jab me in the eye though so there's a 50/50 chance.

So if that doesn't work, I'll just continue to massage her and tell her she's 'the bomb!'

What size are those shoes?

Just finished talking to my Dad and it always reminds me of the huge shoes that I have to fill when it comes to being a a Father. It goes way beyond just financially providing for him., it continues onto such a depth that needs to be reiterated in today's society (something I'm very open to discuss). Of course, there isn't a manual out there explaining that depth. That would be too easy right? Still, somehow, I feel that he got it right.

I pray that my son & I share a very similar relationship that I have with my Dad.

I can already tell that he loves his Mommy ;)

Finding out.

When my wife & I found out the sex of our child, I can't lie... this was my reaction:

Happy Monday.

7 months & counting...

I want to wish my sister a Happy Birthday! Yes, her birthday is a day after mine. Just a few years apart.

Not only was yesterday my birthday, it also marked the day that my wife is 7 months pregnant with our son. He's so responsive, it's pretty awesome. I wish I could feel what she feels most of the time. I just can't wait til he gets here.

He's part of the reason I started this blog...

Sit tight...

Turned 26 today! I'm pretty sure I'll have a few pictures to share but in the meantime, sit tight!
