Still works. Might try to wipe off the dust….hope is alive, may fade over time.

Shawn’s Fantasy Philosophy will be active every Sunday during the football season.

And now I’m back via Android.

I need a technology cleansing.

.

1. My son is concealing 2 loaded weapons in his diaper. I have been hit by both

2. Sleep, eat, burp, change (beware of #1), eat, burp, sleep…repeat as necessary.

3. Changing diapers is all about the speed at which you can take the clothes off, then diaper, wipe, clean, new diaper, then clothes.  I believe, as a man, I am not able to accomplish this as it takes me 2-3 minutes to change him and my wife only 30 seconds.  Hence the reason for #1.  Jaden will also let me know that I am slow and that he is cold.

4. He will not break.  I was told in the hospital that barely patting him on the back will not release the gas.  I felt like I was holding porcelain doll and if I patted him any harder he would some how break in half…this is not the case.

5. I find that even though I will wake up twice in the night, that I am unaffected by this. Yes I am tired, but it is SO WORTH IT.  The moment I met Jaden in the delivery room, my outlook on life forever changed.  I now understand the lengths that parents will go to for their children.

Sitting here realizing this is our final quite weekend.  Soon there will be crying, laughing, pooping, burping, puking, late nights, early mornings, no sleep, crankiness, sickness, laughter, swaddling, cuddling, throw-ups, feedings, pee, and more poop filled diapers.

Though this may be the case, I am totally excited to have a son coming to this world.  Friends tell me it’s the most amazing thing to ever happen, it will change your life.  Honestly, right now it hasn’t hit me, I am sure that on Thursday, Jan 28th at 1:00 p.m. I will realize that my life has been turned upside down by this little guy.

Since my last post, Amy had one last ultrasound, hoping that there was a small chance that the placenta had move and she would be able to have a natural birth.  Unfortunately, it had not moved and had actually moved the opposite way covering the entire cervix.  It is official that the c-section will be performed.

The ultrasound also confirmed that he is packed in her stomach like a sardine, projecting his current weight at 7.5 lbs.  Probably all legs. Stomach is full and ready to destroy his 1st diaper, must take after his dad.

If I don’t have a chance to post by Thursday, I’ll see you on the other side.

Had ultrasound today to see if the placenta had moved, unfortunately it hadn’t.  Looks like a c-section for Amy, which she is not too thrilled about.  Good news is the baby is healthy. Saw the heart, kidneys, brain, and confirmed that he has the tools to be a boy.  Was really quite exciting to see a little human in there ready to welcome the real world.
