Intermitent Brain Dribbles

I hope I have the discipline to put something into this on a regular basis. I think as a routine journal of sorts it has a lot of merit, including that I won't accidently throw it away. Hopefully the public scrutiny won't haunt me...

Getting Close to Baby Time...

Danine is assembling a bag to get ready to go to the hospital on a moments notice. I'm painting the nursery room. We are stockpiling diapers. Wow. This is going to be quite a change.

Today I'm sitting here typing and watching TV- will this even be possible after the baby comes? If not, for how long? So many questions. I'm trying to exercise as much as possible, get extra sleep, build myself up for when the time comes and I can't sleep through the night or get exercise then.

Poor Danine! Her hips hurt, her ankles are swelled up, shes in pain almost constantly, and of course young Emily is kicking her organs, a sensation I can't even imagine. And she still has the birth itself to look forward to. Shes nervous about that, and I can completely understand that. I think shes going to do great- she's a natural. On our walk this morning she had a contraction and stopped to comment on it. That really puts things in perspective regarding the time. 'm going to be somebody's daddy pretty soon!
