No Place Like Home

Been a few days since I've blogged, thought I would let everyone know how everything is going.

The pregnancy is going really well. Very healthy as far as we can tell. Our first doctor appointment is scheduled for next Tuesday (Nov. 27) but we do have an initial meeting with the doctor this Wednesday. I am very excited, but also very nervous. We have been really looking forward to this whole creating a family thing, and now that its begun its like a rush of happiness. We are really having a great time thinking about baby stuff and talking about baby stuff.

Ive been reading this becoming a father book that my mother sent me. Some of the stuff in it is harder to do than others, but I am doing my best to do everything possible to make this easier on my wife. Im not perfect, but I did get high marks from her last night. Of course that was last night, so its a whole new day today.

Celebrated Jackie's birthday yesterday. Went shopping, went to the casino, emily hit a royal flush ($1000.00USD!!!) and I bought Emily's 2nd (so far) birthday gift, which is really great and I know she is going to love both of the things I bought her. Honestly, its killing me because her birthday isn't until Dec. 3, but I have these two things that I know she is going to love but I cant give them to her for for 2 more weeks. Let alone the Christmas gift I already have picked out for her, that Im going to have to wait over a month to give her. Its just really hard when you love someone so much and you can see that she is going through so much discomfort, especially since the discomfort she is going through is because she is carrying something that is for both of us inside of her. I know I have at least two things that will make her happy and I have to withhold them from her because its not yet her birthday? Thats some BS.

Sorry, went off on a little rant there.

Yes, Emily has some normal pregnancy discomfort. I can't imagine what that must be like for her, but I want her to know I appreciate it.

Ok, back to work for now.
