Little things

So it's my turn to Blog something.
The wife has been hoping I'd blog for a while now so here it goes.
Now where to start.

I haven't read many of the wife's blogs. I did that on purposes so I wouldn't feel like I needed to answer hers or worry about making sure I wrote something different, so if I cover something she's already talked about I apologize.

When we got married we talked about starting our family in two years so we are a year off, but I think that's pretty good.
Truthfully I had hoped to feel like we were in a more stable situation financially. It's not like I wanted to have a six figure salary, but I would have liked to be out of this rental home. Then again if I did we might have never had children.

So here we are, expecting our first child, baby, kid, little one, etc.
For me things are a lot different then they are for her. I know she is pregnant, I can see it, I hear her make comments about it. But for me my realization of her pregnancy comes in waves. First there was the pee stick, the first Dr. appointment, then the heartbeat. I don't feel it like she does. For her every moments she pregnant, every time she turns around something reminds her of it..
So strange.

Anyway.. that's my start. I know it's not very good, but I'm tired and I just figured I'd get something down so I'd be more apt to write more later.

Cheez-its

Super-great dad-2-b is officially involved in this pregnancy.

Last night he had his first craving.

Whilst walking through the store for more kleenex, orange juice, etc., (I am sick with a sinus infection) he grabs a box of cheez-its and tosses it into the cart. I said, did we need these?
He replies, "I don't know why but today at work I saw someone eating some, and I decided I must have them."

I giggled, and said, "Yay! It's your first craving!"

He denies it wholeheartedly, but I know this man has never craved anything in his life.

Before we could put any other groceries away, including the refrigerator items, he had the box open and was eating them by the fistfulls!!!!

now, if only I had a craving......
