You guys, #action_baby is almost here

Sorting through papers and such this morning, I came across a print of our latest ultrasound. It's pretty stunning to see and know that there's a real life person in there. Unlike previous visits where I was like "Wow is that a face?" and they were like "No that's a liver".

Baby is very active as of late, keeping Bri (@action_wife) up most nights with plenty of squirming and rolling. The odd cravings do still pop up - a few days ago we suited up and made an evening run to the grocery store specifically for cinnamon buns.

We still haven't picked up much in the way of clothes or bedding, cause we've been waiting to determine the sex. Not one of the ultrasounds could tell us; there was always a foot or a liver or something in the way. Our obstetrician tells us it's a boy, though. I'm inclined to believe her, because she reminds me of that old dude from Gremlins and he was totally wise.

We're still on track for mid-December. A messenger donkey somewhere in Canada is on the way with the next phase of Bri's immigration paperwork, which will allow us a cost-free birth. We'll be alright if the timing doesn't line up, of course, but it'd be a nice bonus.

 

But yeah. I'm excited, nervous, and giddy. Pretty much the standard stuff every guy goes through leading up to their first kid.
