I am finally going to post something

I had planned on being a more frequent contributor to this blog back when Bethany and I decided we would do this.  I thought it would be a great way to keep family and friends updated on what is going on in our lives.  I thought a blog would be fun so as to not flood my facebook with baby stuff.  But then classes and work caught up with me and I did not feel like updating this too much.
Well today I went homes sick from work and Bethany is not home yet to tell me to rest, so I decided I can give out my view on this pregnancy.
Impatient.  I think that is the first word that comes to mind for me lately when I think about this pregnancy.  We found out on New Years Eve that Bethany was pregnant.  It seems like an entire life ago.  Back then we were in the middle of the warmest winter in a while, thought that Rick Santorum might be the Republican Nomination, used Carpe Diem, had no idea how hot this summer would be, we were excited to go to the movie theaters, I had never driven a Maserati, and Bethany and I lived in University City.
But now most of us lost 5 pounds this summer just by stepping outside and sweating, are trying to figure out if Paul Ryan is good or bad for the USA, see the stupid YOLO everywhere on FB, and Bethany and I now live in the exciting town of Clayton.  And I have driven a Maserati, a few times in fact.
The point is, we are both ready for her to be born.  I can only describe it like this.  Its like finding out in April what your Christmas gift is, seeing it under the tree, and not being able to play with it yet.  I just want her to be born so that I can see if she is as cute as her mom (for her sake, lets hope she gets Bethany's smile).  I want to play with her and talk with her and hold her and teach her some many things.
I know the baby is safer in Bethany right now then she would be out here.  And trust me, as I see the rampant news stories of guns, drought, disease, and politics, I am a little terrified to have her enter this world.  But I know that God, Bethany, and I will take care of her.  I just cannot wait for her to be born.
