and tommorrow is the day..... Tommorrow is the day, new years eve, I find out if we are going to be blessed with a son or a daughter.... me being a technology "savant" wanting to go old skool and not know versus the wifes desire to know and use any technology to do the genetic counseling, and finding out the sex asap so I can paint the babys room....


Oh my how over whelming... my wife who is a 100lb rail super model type asks me today if she is "fat" I say no as she is trying on this red maternity top.... she says "I look like a fire hydrant".... me stunned at the sheer miracle and beuty of it all can only muster.... a beutiful pregnant fire hydrant...... :shock: this did not go over well....

I spent my life searching for it all..,. from kuwait, to the balkans, asia and all over the world for "it", then i came back to the world panicked i needed to "catch up" and I did neglecting something..... who knew, it was right here...... every thing i sought was right here in one person and the miracle she is to bring forth...... heaven is right where i stand... we are all blessed.


In these few months i have reached a new nirvana, one i thought i found a long time ago... i see my fathers ways after running from it all and seeing his pride when i came back.. it is all a cycle....and I am humbled by it all..... and i am only at the doorstep to this great miracle.......


Excuse the ramblings of this soon to be proud..... father.........
 
It is a miracle. It's amazing how such a little thing as a new baby can poop so much.

Maybe not too much for the first one.

Both my daughters had renal reflux issues which went away with age, but they had to undergo a battery of tests which they found unpleasant which they expressed in the usual baby way, which was a bit traumatic for the wife. When the issue came up for the second one, she made a deal with me than if I'd take off work and take the baby in for the tests she'd have diaper duties from thereon out. It was probably the best deal I ever made. : )

LOL, don't make the mistake I've seen a lot of first time expectant Dad's make. That would be late in pregnancy, when your heart swells with love for your wife, blurt out your very sincere and joy-filled exultation that she is beautiful.

While it will be very true, if she is like most first time Moms I've seen, she will turn on you like a wildcat.

(It seems that concepts like "the glow of pregnancy," are entirely masculine concepts best kept to ourselves.)

Please accept my congratulations and best wishes for your family.
 
The birth of my first child was a miraculous thing. I don't know how my husband felt, because he was one of those "strong silent types". I wish he hadn't been. Seeing a new life that resembles both you and your spouse, a tiny life that would not exist had you not created it, is a feeling that cannot be described until you hold that little person in your arms.

Life as you know it will irrevocably change. You will cease thinking about how "we" will go forward in the future, and instead think about how your precious child will go forward in the future if something should happen to you. That beloved child will be the driving force in both your lives.

Don't let people convince you that the maternal bond is all that counts. A child desperately needs a father's love and guidance to evolve into a mature human adult. Fathers are deeply important. So are mothers, but as a mother myself I have learned that the male role model, the loving father is just as important as the nurtering mother.

I am thrilled for you and your future family. May you be as happy in the future as you are now... my best wishes for your baby and your future family.

A "Thanks" was insufficient for your post. It is beautifully and accurately written! My husband bawled when our son arrived. I loved seeing that overwhelming emotion.

I have been negligent in addressing your excitement at being a father. I think it's wonderful, and it says a lot about you, Reverend. Look at how happy you are now. Just wait until he/she arrives. PLEASE come here and describe it for us. And don't forget to tell us the sex.

Will you name the child Tripp? ;)

If it's a girl, promise me you'll validate her feelings when she is sad/hurt/angry. I know it sounds stupid, but that's something I longed for my father to do. Women love that stuff. (My husband does it. ;) It's why his grandmothers would call him to talk when they were upset.)

Bad luck. If it was a boy I'm sure you'd have called him Barrack HUSSEIN Obama :mrgreen:

Bah...you can still call her Hillary!
 
I hope all goes well today! The ultra sounds are so much fun and just amazing. You sound like you're going to be such a good father and so involved which is such a good thing. I can't believe how much my life has changed but how blessed I am by my baby. It's so hard to believe she is going to be 7 months next week, it has flown by waaaay too quickly. Just appreciate every single second of every day with the baby because it just goes by so fast.



Now let's take some bets here: I say it's gonna be a baby girl!

That is so true! I remember thinking that way when my oldest son was 7 months old and he's 10 now. Yesterday his dad and I watched him go to the kitchen and fix himself a cup of coffee. I just shook my head ! Where did the time go? I'm amazed every day of my life and I wouldn't change it for anything! I'm so happy for you, Rev :mrgreen:

My bet? I think it's a boy. :cool:

10 years old and drinking coffee? :shock:
 
My first training assignment as a medic in the Air Force was in a Labor and Deliver ward.

All in all, I saw many beautiful moments.

I will pass along a couple things that I learned there.

First, rest assured that the Missus will almost certainly not do the things to you that she promises when she gets out of the stirrups. That almost never happens.

Practically never, really.

Second, however wide and colorful you think your wife's vocabulary is, it is wider and much more colorful.

Yes! He loves it and would drink it more often if I let him. He's limited to one cup in the morning and only on weekends or days he doesn't have school. Otherwise, it's hot chocolate for him. :mrgreen:

I just can't see giving a kid any more energy than they already have.

To each their own.

Hand a boy a snow shovel and point at the driveway to see that energy disappear. Doing so actually produces a negative energy field that is reputed to slightly dim ambient sunlight.

Yep, if you have a way to channel that energy you are doing okay. :2wave:
 
So I am a dumbass...... won't find out until next week, the wife says I am to goofy to remember crap.... :lol:

Happy new year!
 
One thing I will probably never understand during a pregnancy, is why the woman always asks (like clockwork) "Do I look fat?" Of course to be safe guys say "No you dont" usually whenever I overhear that question Im thinking "Of course your fat, your carrying a child for Christ sake!"
