Down The Home Stretch

As I logged onto the blog, I noticed it was entirely reflective of Rachael's work. Much like at home, she's been preparing for our child in many ways. I'm am terming the blogwork cyber-nesting. In any event, I realized that I've contributed very little to the cyber-nesting effort. So here are some musings.....

An Observant Husband….

I think my wife has been drinking too much. I hate to admit it, but there have been signs surfacing over the last 9 months. She’s been overly emotional, and forgetful. She also pees constantly. I haven’t been able to find a hidden stash of vodka, or anything, but there are a number of strange-looking, empty bottles showing up around the house. However, none of them smell like liquor, and I can’t figure out what the nipples are for. I think I need to be looking for beer cans. That would more easily explain the frat boy belches, and reoccurring hiccups. There’s also the rapidly expanding beer belly. But what is she doing with all of the empty cans? It appears I will have to pay closer attention to get to the bottom of this.



Parenthood, or Puberty?

As we loom over the commencement of our next phase of life, I've noticed a number of changes in my body. The bursts of energy and taste for domestic work, be it a nursery remodel, or a landscaping project, or nothing short of amazing. Based on the newly acquired complexion issue, I've decided the energy must be rooted in hormone fluctuations. I hope they are not the same hormones that cause fathers to lose their hair. If they are, I guess I can blame the child, like all other folliclely challenged fathers. Strange pains, hormone fluctuation, and a steady anxiety over the impending stage of life….this seems like a familiar territory.
