Background check....

Good Saturday Folks!

For the next few entries, I'll explain a few things from what I do for a living and how my wife and I met to why my blog is called 'Man of the 24 hours.' Most of my readers probably already know most of what I'm going to share but for those new to the blog, you'll get a small glimpse to what brought me here to create this reading experience.

I will also be guest blogging for Theafter5lifestyle.com which is a wonderful and tasty blog, for those that want to satisfy that rumble in the tummy! Please, support her project as well! Thanks!


Until Next time though,
Stay blessed.

Little bit of this...

Good afternoon folks!

Lately... well, to be more detailed, in the past month, I've been listening to nothing but smooth jazz. It's really nice to have the soothing sounds first thing in the morning or during the ride home from work. One day, I was strolling down the street of my house after finishing a day of work and I thought about how my Dad would listen to smooth jazz all of the time when I was growing up. He always influenced me to discover the things I enjoy myself but I know for sure he knew that whatever he did, it would motivate me to do the same. I think that's something that we, especially as younger parents, forget sometimes; our demeanor, our mentality, our actions will be reflected by our children. This makes me wonder, what traits of ours will our son pick up?

This morning I had a dream that I was able to see him. It was a short dream but it was pretty interesting. He had my wife's nose but EVERYTHING else was sort of random. My wife has had a few dreams about what he looks like so I wouldn't doubt that God has given her a clearer picture ;) Again, it makes both of us continue to wonder, what traits will our son have that represent us?

In the meantime though, the weeks are rolling by. We're coming up on week 31 on Thursday! I don't know about her but to me, it feels like we're finally coming upon the final stretch. (Of course that's easy for me to say right?)

That makes this Dad (to-be) very happy! Keep praying for us folks!

It's Wednesday already?

I don't know about you guys but this week is flying by for me! It's been an awesome week so far on so many different levels.

Tamara had a contraction today! It wasn't anything major but she felt her belly tighten up as it happened. It's definitely around the time for these things to happen. Things got a little tight for his growing 3 pound body but he soon gave a knock of reassurance soon afterwards. We're trying to speculate if he is head down already but most of his body just seems to be cooped up on the right side of her belly.

He's finally being more responsive to Daddy's voice more often too! Before, I would get NO love from my own son! Now though, he moves around and reacts when I'm around so that's really exciting. We're just looking forward to seeing him and see what features he has. For example, will he have my nose with a clef or her clef chin? Only in due time will we find out!

Won't be too long now...
the way these weeks are just...
Flying by.
