The Home Stretch

I was getting ready for work this morning and Allison told me that it's about 4 weeks now until our scheduled due date.  This is the home stretch.. we have rounded third base and are heading home now.

Things are pretty busy for us, as you can probably tell from the lack of posts these last few months.   We are busy getting the house ready for baby.   I tried to pick up the crib and changing table last night, but it wouldn't fit in my car.  So dad is going to borrow my brother's truck and we'll pick it up tonight.  Can't wait to put it together.. love that stuff.  If I could work full time just putting together furniture etc.. I would be a happy man. 

Everyone is asking are you nervous... are you excited...  and I just don't know how to answer those questions.  There is such a mix of emotions... fear, excitement, anxiety that there is no way you can quantify it in response to a question. 

On another note, I decided that I won't shave again until after the baby is born.  It's an old tradition borne out of my college theater days... so the home stretch means a beard for me.  :-)


Anyone who has sent cards, well wishes, gifts for our marriage our impending baby... thank you, thank you, thank you.  Your kind thoughts and support are greatly appreciated and welcomed.  Thank you cards are in the works.
