Just Because I Can…

by

I hate waiting. I want Tony here. This is how much I can’t concentrate…

We got to looking back last night. It will be 3 years ago tomorrow that I bought Sarah a cold cup of coffee at Waffle House. Our first non date-date. It seems fitting that we have our boy on that anniversary.

It’s odd to think that when this all began, she was never going to get married and never have children. She was the ultimate bachelorette. This was going to be “just for fun”…”nothing serious”.

You never know. When your not looking, things happen. I tell my friends that’s the key. Stop trying so hard. Don’t think that every person of the opposite sex is a prospective life mate. Just enjoy the journey and you’ll know…if it ever happens. And if it doesn’t, you’ll have a full life lived without regrets. It’s only when you “Have to complete myself” that you end up disappointed. Be complete within yourself. Then you don’t have to relay on someone else to fill the void. A good and wise friend said, “You marry the one you don’t feel you HAVE to marry.” That’s what I did. We would have been together regarless of the peice of paper or ring.

I am extremely blessed. It’s easy to see that on this birthday eve. We have amazing friends. One dropped off an awesome cross stitch last night for Sarah. Our family loves and supports us…even though her pop still hasn’t given me his blessing to marry his daughter. Wanna see the grand kid? Pony up, grandpa. My son is a great kid, and, I think, will be an awesome big brother. And my wife…I can’t even put into words what our relationship is. I fell so comfortable in my own skin around her. It’s simply amazing.

So, to Tony, hurry up and get here. You are being born into an amazing situation. You have no idea how cool your parents are, and the people who surround us. I have 61 people on my phone who will get a text message when you are born and a host of others waiting to see a post here. So, come on. We even have a bed for you, not just a dresser drawer…and a Diaper Champ!

5__oclock_Clock.jpgSo at 5:00 am tomorrow morning, we will be at the Hospital, starting the drip. I’m think sometime, after noon, we will have James Anthony in our midst, ready to unleash him on an unexpecting world.

About Sympathy Pain

The "Sympathy Pain" blog is a father's view of what is generally viewed as "woman only" territory, pregnancy. The blog also looks into the blended family and how a new addition affects that family. "Sympathy Pain" is not a battle of the sexes sight, but rather, an open forum for moms and dads.
