So I've been out for awhile...a long while. I've been absent from the blogging world (reading and writing) due to minor health reasons and also because the Mrs. and I have been busy preparing for the arrival for our newest little bundle of joy. For the last month I've been busy painting and putting together the baby's furniture. Our kids are excited mainly because they now get to share a room with their new bunk beds. As a father of 2 kids I can honestly say that I can never get used to the anticipation of bringing new life into the world, and I'm sure my wife feels it 10 times more than I ever will. To be able to bring something new and unique into this beautiful, chaotic, and breath-taking universe is a blessing I will never take for granted. Which is why I can't understand why some people choose to abandon, abort, or even abuse their children. Now I'm not here to rally against abortion but simply stating that the anticipation and joy of bringing new life into the cosmos is so overwhelming that I can never imagine any other "options".
My wife is someone who is cutely impatient sometimes, and how can you blame her. I'd be the same way if I had to carry a life form which is constantly kicking and draining the life out of me. My wife is the type of person who can't wait to find out what happens in a book so she skips to the end or Googles the plot to see if the heroine of the story has a happy ending. This is why we're dishing out a few extra bucks to get the 4D ultrasound to see how River's face will look like. Yes, that's right, the Mrs. and I are HUGE Doctor Who fans and have named our new little girl after Riversong. I know it's not the most traditional of names but it is beautiful and of course my wife was also named after the witch from
Bewitched. Nothing beats tradition. Now let's hope we don't run into a time traveling future version of River as we rush to the delivery room in December.
Spoilers!
Hiatus...Hello Sweetie!

Glad to see ya back. Hope yu have fully recovered from the "illness". Congrats on the upcoming event! The best to you and yours my friend
I think River is an awesome name! I'm a big fan of unique names. If I ever have kids in the future, I plan on giving them unique names.
I found it a bit funny that your kids were excited about sharing a room. When I was a kid, I shared a room with my little sister. Neither of us could stand it. I was beyond thrilled when I got my own room when I was 11.
I hope everything goes well in December! Congrats to you and your wife!
Congrats my good & distant friend! Hope everything goes well. Good to have you back!
beautiful! congrats to your entire family.
Congratulations! Is it "River" or "Riversong" or "River Melody Song Pond"...?
Just River, the Mrs. and I agreed that Riversong may be a little much.
December is coming up fast! Hope that room is finished!
