Baby in the Bubble

So, I did something hilarious last night. I did not even think it was possible, but I did it! After the Indian's game was over my wife was asleep and I developed a hypothesis (educated guess.) My line of thinking was...my wife and my son are not the same person...the baby sometimes sleeps when my wife is awake...can I wake the baby with out waking my wife?! So I slowly crept up on my sleeping wife, got very close to her belly and softly said "Billy Boy." And a little foot kicked my wife and woke her up! I am a genius. But I guess you can't be a genius if you have to ask your wife how to spell it.

Busy Busy "B"

So incredibly busy. Wow! Is life supposed to go so fast? It seems like just yesterday we had 6 months until our baby boy would be here, and now we have 30 days! There is still a lot to be done, but a lot has been done so far. I get distracted easily. First it was the hot water heater...then the kitchen...then the start of the EAGLES season...then the kitchen...then the FIGHTIN' PHILLIES got hot...then the kitchen...then the end of the eagles season...then the kitchen. Needless to say I'm still working on the kitchen, but my heart is torn. Isn't it funny how easily distracted we can become. I have so much to be thankful for.

1. A God who loves me even though I am unlovable.
2. HEAVEN!
3. A wife who is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
4. A BABY on the way!
5. Two sets of loving parents who always want the best for us.
6. Friends who will always be there for us.
7. A church family that supports us.
8. A house.
9. The Fightin' Phillies in the playoffs.

The first thing my wife said when she saw this list was, " You could only think of 9 things!" I'm shallow, so sue me. But even with these 9 things I have a constant dull ache in my back that is the Philadelphia Eagles. Many of you do not understand the relationship between the Philadelphia Fan and the Eagles. Watch "Invincible" and you will get a taste. It's like the eagles are a friend that I grew up with who has now gotten in trouble with the law, started doing drugs, knocking over gas stations...and I now find myself sitting in the prison visitor's area looking at this friend, and wondering, "WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED!"

All that aside, life is good and here are some pictures to prove it.
