Waiting is the hardest part....

You know, normally I would have some humorous opening about how all this baby stuff is completely insane and all that, but this time, really all I have to open with is that I'm truly excited. The closer we get to the big day, the more real it becomes that I'm gonna be a Daddy. For example, for the first time this year I will be getting a father's day card. Sure, I'm fully aware that Jen's gonna go out and buy a totally sappy card and sign Peanut's name to it, but the fact remains that this card will be coming to me...not my dad. That's a heavy thing to comprehend for most guys.

OK, so seriously, Tom Petty said it best when he said the waiting is the hardest part! To put it in perspective, I must tell you that I'm a Christmas JUNKIE!! Almost anyone that knows me, knows this fact. I love everything about Christmas...yes, even in a weird way fruitcake. That being said, having a baby on the way is very much like having a Christmas present that you can look at, shake (although not recommended), watch move around IN THE FRIGGIN WRAPPING, and, for most expecting parents, you even get to know EXACTLY what your getting!! If that isn't hell on Earth, I really don't know what is. It's like staring at your very own official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle, AND not being able to play with it!

So to finish up, I wanna leave you with a quick update. Jen is at 29 weeks and still doing absolutely amazing, and according to the Dr, we are having a completely boring pregnancy which for once is a good thing. Shouldn't be having anymore ultrasounds, so the next time I get to see Peanut will be as the say, in living color. Which at this point (for me) couldn't come sooner....
