The waiting game continues...

At one point during the pregnancy I said to Sum, "If I could do this, you know I would." Well, It's 11:00 A.M. and after spending the night at the hospital for the third time last night, I take it back.

She woke me up at about 1:30 A.M. this morning and said that the contractions were about 5 minutes apart and a whole lot harder than the last time we went in. So I called my mother and made plans to get rid of J and headed over town to the hospital. When we got to there the doctor decided to give her some medicine this time to stop the contractions, and this was at about 2:30 or so. They also gave her a half dose of some sleeping pill, which was great because it knocked her right out. She really needed a good sleep. Myself on the other hand...Well let's just say that I think they put the most uncomfortable sleeping chairs possible in hospital rooms for the husbands as a little subconscious form of pay back. I went to bed around 4:00 A.M. after watching a few episodes of Run's House, and probably managed to get a solid 2 hours of sleep. This morning when she got up we had to wait for her doctor to come by and check her. The doc basically just said that she was alright to go home and gave her a prescription for some of those magical sleep pills.

The doctor also noted that if she were to continue to have the contractions to head back in...Let's just hope that doesn't happen today when we are 100 miles away in Omaha for her baby shower!

The ever changing, never ending list.

I hear a lot about bucket lists. I dunno, maybe I have one. More of my 'lists' are current lists, 5 year lists, 25 year lists...but I guess they all could be bucket lists because we don't know how much time we've got at the dance. Over the past 2 years my wants have drastically changed. I've been focusing on simpler things, true things. Not reaching so much for more, just trying to enjoy what is here more. That goes for family, friends, opportunity, relationships...not material things. (Except I really really want a canoe or kayak so I can get out on the water soon) Is it possible to make a list that won't change?  Is it possible to remain true to the values of a 34 year old father, when those very values seem to have shifted based on life experiences? Are the items on my list too specific? Maybe... Love Honesty Compassion Health Fun More to come on this one I'm pretty sure.

Take us out to the ball game.

Last night we ventured over to the Explorers baseball game after dinner, it was great. Jordan talked to the X's pitching crew out in the bull-pin for a while, and they ended up giving him a ball. He's such a sports guy! The pitcher that gave him the ball said, "Can you give it a throw?" and so he did...over his head out into left field! Of course my diva Bell had more fun doing spins and drinking a slush, but that's all good. I love my family.
