First, the basics.

Aubree went to the doctor this morning and everything is great. If the baby comes now, he'll be welcomed with open arms medically speaking. With that, we don't expect him to come tomorrow.

And now for the really short thought of the day ...

We, and by we I mean Aubree, have been working on getting Josiah's room ready for the past couple weeks and I can truthfully say we are about 99% done. His bed is made, the changing table is loaded with diapers and the poster of Yao Ming is placed just right along the wall. Sure we know Josiah isn't coming tomorrow but it would be pretty irresponsible of us to not get at least the basics situated.

So I go into the room tonight to just take a look at everything for a brief second but really to turn off the light since my beautiful wife loves to keep every light in the house on right now. As I am walking out and flick the light off, I notice this faint light below me so I look down and sure enough, there is a night light plugged in and for some reason this hits me in a profound way.

Josiah, there is a 99% chance that you will not come tomorrow and a 99% percent chance that you won't come the day after that. In fact, there is like a 90% chance you won't come this week.

But just know, that when you do come, you got a Mom whose already got your night light on, already making sure you'll never be scared of the dark and already making sure no monsters have the opportunity to sneak under your bed.

Just know you got a Mom that loves you.

Grace and Peace.

Doug

To say it's been a while since I last updated this blog would be an understatement. We have a new president, we've celebrated Turkey Day and Christmas and its now 2009. My apologies to all the millions of readers out there, some times life just gets a little busy.

Enough with the chit chat, how's Mom and Josiah?

They are great. We actually went to the doctors office this morning and everything looks exactly how its supposed to. Had an ultra sound done but the one picture we got was blurry so I wont post it here, got confirmation that HE is still a HE and found out that the pain in Aubree's side is Josiah's butt. The mere fact that the butt is there enough to bother Aubree shows he didn't get it from me so I'll be interested to see who the rest of him looks like.

One last thing before I go (shortest blog post ever), if your near Houston Texas this Sunday, its baby shower time. For a couple gift ideas Josiah is still really needing one of these.

Grace and Peace,

Doug and Aubree and Josiah
