99 Days to go

Tony's Thoughts-
I decided to chat into the blog seeing as how my wife definitely has other things on her mind right now. We are getting very excited about how close the baby is. I looked over at the counter on the right and it looks like we are now in double digits. This is so weird to think that there is a little one hiding just under my wife's belly. Last night when we were sitting in the family room watching 24 (I love my DVR) I had my elbow resting on my wife's stomach. All of the sudden, I started feeling someone try to push on my elbow. It was like he was saying, you are bothering me, move your elbow. How can someone so little, already be pushing me around, just like my other two kids. It's amazing how when you feel something like that, how much more real it becomes. I already talk with my wife about my 3 kids rather than 2. It is really interesting some of the concerns that we have now that we think about 3 kids. Who gets to go to the back row of the van? I would say the oldest, but my wife has a good point. Rylan needs to be right by the door, so the preschool can unload him. So that puts my daughter in the back row. Of course that means the second child gets relegated to the back seat :| The second children are always picked on. We are designing a house right now, and do we choose 3 smaller rooms, or two big rooms and let a couple of them share? Lots of questions with no apparent answers. Sorry, I am rambling. I am so excited for the little one come to join our family. I can't wait. It is a huge responsiblity. When I think about my kids, I feel such a desire to do what is best for them, and a weight with the concern that I am making mistakes. I love my kids so much, and I want the best for them. That is my driver. That is what makes me move, and work and study, is to give the best to them.
