you can't kill the METAL

I just have to say that i love being a dad.

when Hudson came out of the womb, he didn't cry. not a sound. but i knew he was mine because he gave the doctor a very distinct 'Cope scowl.' they rushed him to a warming table where the nurses put a cold thermometer in his armpit. no sound. but a look that very much said: i don't like that, remove it at once! then they had to prick his heel to check his blood sugar. again, no sound. but the look that he gave the nurse actually stopped her for a second and she looked at me! (as though i have some sort of influence over this child! i couldn't even talk him into coming out on time...)

I was beginning to worry that my son would be a mute, because he didn't make any sounds other than sneezes for the first few hours of life. (we learned that he can scream... yes he can...)

but i learned the true extent of my son's status as a BAMF, when the pediatrician came back from the circumcision and informed us that he hadn't made a sound. my son is a straight up HARDCORE, METAL puma.

those of you that REALLY know me, will know how proud this story made me!

the end is nigh...

we have finally come to the conclusion that we will need to induce. so instead of having all my friends and family call me to say, in one form or another: wow, still no baby!

I will write it here.

the baby will be induced on Monday the 22nd. If by some miracle the little boy decides to grace us with his presence before then... I WILL LET YOU ALL KNOW. and it will be great.

I also will more than likely be very busy in the coming weeks. if anyone that reads this blog cares at all that i don't post often, i am officially apologizing now. cause you wont see much for a bit. because of this, i want to wish all of you A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS/HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

most anticipated child ever... well 2nd most.

I am so fed up with waiting for my son to come. i was super excited for so long that now i just don't know what to do with myself... he STILL isn't here. he was due on the 1st of Dec. and here i sit at work thinking of nothing except that he still isn't here.

in my more delusional moments i even imagine that this must be what it felt like for the Nephites that were waiting for the birth of the Savior. Sitting around waiting for it... knowing that if the sign doesn't show up you are going to die... yeah... i know, a bit dramatic. but seriously! i am soooo ready for Hudson to come into this world! this anticipation just makes me think how much better life keeps getting! the longer i am alive the better things get! I love this little boy more than words can express and i haven't even seen him yet. :D
