Hey D. I was speaking of the driving bit just as you were posting. Last moments of driving like a madman. I will be the one making others ask, why is this guy going so damn slow. Me and the wife actually had our first impasse around baby. Grandma is coming to visit on Thursday, the day after we get her back home. She is staying right next to where we have a pediatrician appt. She is going to borrow our other car for the 3 weeks she is here. So me and wife thought, lets just drive two cars to the appt, drop the one off with her and be done with that chore. So I'm thinking, I'll drive the nice car with baby in it... and wife will follow in the old car. She thought the exact same thing... that SHE will drive the new car with baby... We kinda laughed. Then stopped and were both like "But I'm serious" haha. We talked it out and figured I'd drive her. Not sure exactly how that occurred, but I'll take it.
Less than 36 hours before we get her. Before
I get her. Its getting pretty intense on the emotional front. Before yesterday I had been strong. Just doing what needed to be done, being real happy about my baby... but it is as if I don't actually have a baby yet. I feel like there was the pregnancy where baby was close to me in my wifes tummy, but still all hers. Then there is this stage where she is the hospitals... also some my wifes. They are so bonded from being connected for so long. Baby knows who I am, but we've only held eachother a few hours now... not 9 months. So it's like I am finally getting a baby of my own after 34 and something years... and I'm getting her tomorrow. And that is overwhelming. I just get so happy inside knowing my dream is coming true. And she's cute.
I'm sure we could arrange a little time for you to swing by dez. We will be hanging at home with babe and grandma in law (or whatever she is now). Hit me up. And about the building, I'm actually staying home today and not seeing my girl for the first time since shes been born. Was hoping to toss up the insulation and drywall for the inside. Not sure if that's possible for one person to do, but we are about to find out. I'd really love some help with the finishing of the drywall as I'm not that good at the tape and texturing. I'm sure you remember our conversation and seeing my work around the shower. Anyways, I'm going to get to it. Woot... I got a little girl to work for.
Spent last night till about 3am getting the house in shape for her to come home. The crib is up (co sleeper actually) got the diaper drawer all set up with the supplies. Baby blankets washed and ready. It's on! Just to warn you, I feel a flood of pictures may be taken once she's not in the hospital. I hope I don't annoy you.
EDIT: Ahhhhhh, it felt good to type all that. I like 'talking' to you guys. Makes me feel at home again.
