Early Delivery

I was really trying to keep up the blog post a week on here. Looks like I might have a bit of a hiatus though. We are going in tonight for the birth of our second son. I look forward to being back and really spending some attention to this blog. I can't wait to meet my new son, Cody.

Talk to you soon.

A mother's pain

So going into the endgame of this pregnancy there is a lot of things going through my head. Scared about adding another life to my family. Excited to have another boy to raise and play with. Freaking out a bit about having to be responsible and take care of him.

But mostly I just want him to get here. My poor wife is in constant pain and can't get any relief. I swear it looks like he is standing straight up in her. According to her he is jumping on her ribs. I don't know why, but my boys both have abused their mother in the ribs while in the womb. I wish there was something that I could do for her, because she is in a terrific amount of pain.
I know that the only cure is going to be more pain during the delivery, but the sooner it comes to an end the better I think she will be.

I know this is short, but I've had a crazy week so I'm happy to get a little bit on here.

Talk to you soon.

Back to it

Well, it's time to stop putting it off. My new goal is to post something on this blog once a week.

Today it's just about catching up. My wife is going into the last few weeks of pregnancy, my two year old is acting like he runs the place and I've been working a ridiculous amount. All of it has made me realize (yet again) how blessed and lucky I am in life. I have had a ton of things go my way and any time I spend away from my family leaves me rushing right back to them. All the extra time at work has really hit this home this month.

My son is incredible. I wish I could get myself back to a place where I wake up and have a clean slate for the day, no plans, no regret from yesterdays, just another chance to wake up and be happy to get on with the day. Everytime I watch him wake up and see his smile, just because he woke up, it makes me jealous that I have so much worry, regret, stress and responsibilities already laid out for me that day.

So with this quick post I am rededicating myself to producing this blog, gearing up for the end of a pregnancy and the beginning of adding another life to my family, and going to attempt to wake up with a better perspective each day. Who knows if it will work, but I like the sound of it.
