6.5 months - Daddy Speaks!

So you have heard from the beautiful mother-to-be about all that has been happening....now, as Paul Harvey says....for the rest of the story!

1) She eats at least 5 times a day....and I love it! Not because I get to eat too, but because it goes against all of her normal household eating policies.

2) She is such a great mom-to-be. I can't tell you how much she does to ensure this little one comes out glowing with a flax-seed and vitamin filled smile!

3) She hasn't been sick or moody at all (ok 50% is true) Honestly, she (we) have been very fortunate to this point for a smooth 6.5 months - knock on wood.

4) Her biggest concern is how she is going to love our child as much as she loves our godson Jack...which is a heckuvalot!

5) We have finally come to terms on names....she just doesn't know it yet. What is the capital of Texas?? (god bless Texas!)

6) It sure is hard to name anyone with the second half of that name being STIFF (sorry Dad, Ben Stiff just can't be repeated.....you're a shoe-in for a male middle name (he would agree)).

7) I have read most of the books on my mandatory reading list.

8) I still have little to no idea what I am doing!

9) We are currently subscribed to every single baby magazine on the face of this planet....even ones that are published in Thailand - not sure how we got on their list (do you speak Thai? Jack talk Thai....Jack talk Thail reallll good.....yes, this is my shout out to Jack!)

10) This will likely be the last time I am allowed to blog, so let me finish by saying - my wife is amazing, smart, beautiful, fearless.....and I love her!

PS - our registry is listed on this blog - just in case anyone wanted to know :-)


Those are new pants - it would be wise if you complemented her on them! (thanks)
