Botswana Beefalogger


Baby due date has been pegged at the 27th since back in.. February I think? But, the doctor says she's gone "head down" since a week or two ago which means that it could, in theory, happen at any given minute. She was scheduled to work through tomorrow and then begin her maternity leave, but I told her last night to screw the last two days and just stay home to relax and take it easy. She's having discomfort some more this morning, but the occurrences are still over 10-15 minutes apart and not getting closer together (yet). So, even if she IS in labor, she's not close enough together to get the vehicle loaded up and head down to the birthing center.

Dunno, man.. dunno.. it is a bit surreal to think I'll be a dad here within a week or so. But, to be honest, I'm really looking forward to it and we've been prepping for this for a long time now. Hell, when she went off the pill, we figured it would probably take at least 4-6 months of humping to get pregnant (what with all the horror stories you hear about people being unable to get preggo even when TRYING to do so).. nope! Took about 1 month. (LOL) Well, at least we know all the plumbing works on both sides of the fence. I guess after all those years of sending the troops charging up that hill, only to be cut down by chemical weapons by the millions.. when the enemy was relieved of their deadly defenses, the boys charged that hill with a vengence!

Hehe..
