Family

Well, Emily and I went to the doctor's office yesterday. You will all be happy to know that Bubble seems to be healthy and happy. The womb is the correct size based on where it should be at this point. Thats good. All of the blood tests came back "beautiful", so no worries there. Looks like this whole baby thing is actually going to happen! I feel a bit of relief right now due to the fact that we can relax a little and enjoy the company of family. Sort of.

My parents are coming up this weekend. This is a happy thing. Definately. Its just going to be very strange for me. This is the first time that they are coming to visit us. I quite honestly never saw my father coming up and actually spending the night at my house. I don't know, something about it seems odd. Almost like he's too big to be hanging out in my play house. Its not really about him, its more about really feeling like a grown up because they are going out of their way to see us. Yeah, this doesnt make much sense, and Im probably explaining it wrong, but its my blog, dammit, so deal.

I feel stupid saying this, but I'm really looking forward to this weekend because its like getting two Christmas' this year. They are coming up and we are exchanging gifts. They are bringing gifts from the people there, and we are sending thier gifts home with them. For the last week, I was kind of wandering, are we going to be opening the gifts while they are here, or are we going to have to wait until Christmas? It really just occurred to me today that its up to me! Its my house, so its my call. I am really an adult. Amazing!

Of course, the actual event of this weekend, the thing that is most important is that it is my beautiful, loving, pregnant, hormonal wife's birthday! This is the time when I get to celebrate the most important event to my life, which is the birth of my wife. No I wasn't there, but I was alive at the time, and I like to think that I was laying in my crib the day she was born, and I let out a slight giggle or laugh or even just a smile at the very moment she was born. That was the moment that events were put in motion that would make my life as complete as any other could be. I am truly grateful for her existance and her ability to put up with my tiresome shenanigans. I love her a great deal and cannot wait to show her how much.

Here is the debate before the court today, and feel free to weigh in, actually, I think I am going to look around and see if I can put a poll on here anywhere to answer this.... Ok, found it, click here to vote in the poll (this will not take you away from my page)

What deserves the bigger gift?

Christmas or Birthday.

See I got my wife two, (actually there are more, but two major) gifts. One for Christmas and one for her Birthday. They are both perfect and I am absolutely positive that she will love both, but one is about double the price of the other, and I am truly not sure which to give for Christmas and which to give for her birthday.
