So it’s August 12th and my little one isn’t here yet. He isn’t due until the 19th, but the way my wife is acting, you would think he was two weeks late. According to the doc, my wife is healthy and my baby is healthy. That sounds pretty good to me. It’s just that my wife convinced herself that since the “due date” could be off by two weeks either way, that the baby would come early.

But he hasn’t. Yet.

We were hoping for 08/08/08.

My wife would like her body back now.

And I’d like my calm, cool, and collected wife back now.

It isn’t helping that he is getting bigger everyday and is already well over 8 pounds. This is our first and she’s had time to start wondering how he’s getting out of there…

She’s getting a little nervous.

But we’re ready for him.

Room carpeted, decorated, and stocked? Check.
Breastfeeding class? Check.
First-Time Parents class? Check.
Baby CPR class? Check
Car seat safely installed? Checked and Re-checked.

I think we’re ready.

C’mon, boy.
