Waiting for baby

Since this blog is supposed to be about my experiences as a father and I am not quite there yet, I figured I would share a quick story with you. Who knows, I might learn something from it.

If you couldn't tell from my last post, I am very excited about my daughter coming into this world. A couple of weeks ago, Mandy and I were asking each other, what I assume is a common question for soon-to-be parents, "When do you think the baby is going to be born?" So I playfully suggested that my wife would go into labor sometime Thursday night and then we'd be celebrating Adrianna's birth the next day. 

Waiting game

We are currently in the home stretch with less then a week until she's due!! At this point all we can do is wait.

Don't get me wrong, I want my daughter to bake in the proverbial oven as long as she needs to, but I also really really really want to meet and play with her. I feel like a little kid who has a brand new toy all nice and shiny in the plastic, but cant open it until the 5 day car ride from California to Florida is over.She's sitting right there in front of me, but I cant play with her! Now if I feel like this, I can't imagine what Mandy is going through, she's actually inside her taunting her with karate kicks and judo chops.I guess this is the first lesson in parenting, PATIENCE and from what I'm told I'm going to need a lot of it.
