Our Greatest Achievement....: February 2006

We are making the turn for home

With the due date getting closer and closer..................I have come to a point where the reality of being a dad is really starting to settle in..........the responsibility ...........Wow...........he is going to look to me for guidance and support.....he will look to me for the proper way to be a man........I don't think that I am that much of a man yet myself.........how am I supposed to teach my son to be a man when I am still such a kid at heart.....is there some switch inside of me that goes off when cooper is born?..........I worry ...........I worry that I am getting in over my head????

I was driving the other day and listening to "my music" with the windows down and thinking there will be a car seat in the back soon..........I won't be able to jam out to the music anymore.........I won't be able to drive fast just because I can anymore........? but at that same time I also realize that my son will be in the car and I really don't want him to listen to loud music and I sure do not want him to drive fast.........so maybe I am a growing up........

I am rambling today.........it has been a lot for me the last couple of days.........sorry for the incoherent typing and stuff.............but as I have stated before ..........this blog is for me to vent and get out the thoughts that I can not talk about............

I have also come to believe I am having pregnancy side effects..........I ache .........I am tired............I am moody .........and no I can not sleep.......this is not a fun part of the whole baby thing.............
I have said a lot today and now I need to do some work ..........but I do feel better..........and you no what ...........(as I get a big smile on my face).......I am coop's dad..........and I will love him with all my heart and soul............when I got married to my hot wife I realized what true unconditional love is ..........now that coop is almost here I feel that I now know what it is to be truly conditioned to love...........without thought....without hesitation...I love cooper no matter what he does or what he becomes ...........I love him...I am now complete........my life is coming full circle.........and I am so happy.........god is great.......he has made my journey through life up and down .........but you know what..............he has seen fit to make me a father.....so if he believes in me.......then as of today I believe in myself to be cooper's father......enough said.

I am cooper's dad..............and cooper is my son............(as the smile gets a bit larger on my face)

I AM BACK

The doc cut on my hand again last Friday and I am feeling better .......10 or so more stitches .......no biggie....The wrist and hand is back in shape....(not much pain.......okay it hurts BUT I am feeling better....kinda).......and it is time for the second wind to kick in........

oh and by the way we went and got some realllllllllllly cool pictures taken of my hot wife today by a great local photo artist(my word)........it is now official my wife is the hottest preggo I have ever seen............the proofs should be back by the 14th of march and I can't wait.........

I am back on track and the dad juices are flowing .........bring it on!

we are in the home stretch............and coop's dad is ready to go

coop's dad

I am running on empty

cooper is almost here and it is starting to weigh on me ....my wrist surgery has had some complications and is not healing as fast as originally expected....the pain pills are kicking my butt....I am so sluggish but I can't sleep.........I guess I am getting ready for when cooper comes..haha.........my hot preggo wife is doing well.........she is having a little trouble getting comfortable...but she has been great..........we have switched roles (for now)........she is taking care of me and I am laying on the couch...to be honest though I hate it..........I have ten thousand things I could be doing, but nooooooooooooo....stupid hand
anyway, i just needed to vent a little..........as you can see it is almost 3 am and I am not asleep........this sucks........but I know that cooper is coming soon and no matter how I feel now,
it will all be better on the day he is born...........

I am but one man ..........and that one man is cooper's dad

coop's dad

do as i say not as i do

what a funny photo.......maybe a view of things to come

I am old.

I have read the most recent posts from my lovely YOUNGER cousin and realize that I am an old man I remember her with her chubby cheeks in her car seat..........look at her now.......a grown up and a great mom..........I am so proud of her and so excited to watch her wonderful daughter grow up to be as great as she is..........thanks for all the advice and yes I have put the mrs in a bubble but I have cut a few air holes in it so she can still breathe a little...haha.......

I am going to be a dad soon enough but right now I am enjoying being a overprotective husband.

What a bunch of cool stuff

The Mrs. was so surprised.....her family and friends put on a surprise shower for her.......and she had no idea....I can not believe all the cool stuff we got....I have come to realize that people get really excited about babies........thanks for all the fun stuff and thanks for making my hot preggo wife feel so special....she so deserves it....she has had a tough couple of weeks........coop has been such a good boy the past 8 months so I guess he is due to be a little bad....I have had a tough time staying in bed with aching wrist.......it always seems that when I have ten thousand things to do I am sidelined by one thing or another.........it is getting close.........the mrs and I have decided to do a C section........our doctor had one and she is doing well...she had said that if we did the research and educated ourselves...........she would let us do it............that being said.........we have a new due date....MARCH 31, 2006............and let me tell you what........it can not get here soon enough.........

I wish everyone could feel as good as I do everyday when I get up.............thanks to my hot wife and my unborn son..........

by the way have I mentioned that I am excited about being a dad

coop's dad has had a set back

I have had to have surgery on my left hand to remove a large tumor from my wrist....I am going to be fine but...........I am now hobbled a bit.........coop is going to be here soon.....and I am rehabing now......I need to be okay for my little man...............this is just a bump in the road...being a dad is the most important thing in my life and nothing will keep me down....
