The time has finally come for baby furniture to get put together. I am going to pick up a crib, 3 drawer dresser, and a 5 drawer/changing table dresser. So please pray for me. I am sort of handy, but I have this patience frustration thing that can take over some times. If I need any help I'll call you.
Father I will be soon! So i am reading this book called "Becoming a Dad," and i recommend to soon to be father or even current father. There is a section on being your kids hero. So here is the quote from the book. Let me know what you think.
"There is a difference between heroes and idols. Heroes fight for justice and are compassionate. Heroes take risks and are brave. Heroes walk in humility and are modest. Idols are false gods and are powerless. Idols are propped up and phony. Idols are made in the image of man, not the image of God. Being your child's hero isn't about shoes you have to fill, because you are already in them. Your choice is to either stand up in those emotional and spiritual shoes or take them off."
- More to come this weekend from the book and Catalyst.
Baby coming soon so our amazing students got together with the help of our adult volunteers and gave us one more getaway before the little guy comes. So we are enjoying two nights in the ORL. Thanks so much to our awesome students and adults with Reflect. We will be spending today at Downtown Disney and dinner and a movie tonight. Tomorrow we will be going to the Swiss store IKEA. If you have not been, GO! You don't even have to buy anything. Trust me guys on this one, it is good times. PLus they have huge buggies (or as you Florida people say carts). Anyways thanks again for everything. Love you all. Thanks for the getaway!
The first time has come. I am beginning to feel that little guy move. It really makes you think, if I can feel that it must be a wild feeling for Lyndsey. I would compare it to dropping some pop rocks in your mouth that somehow make it all the way to your stomach. I am sure that is not reality but that is how I imagine it. More to come soon. Can't wait to see the imprint of his foot on the belly. It will come fast I am sure.
So it is hard to understand, how they are even able to do this (this referring to the sonogram picture above which by the way is a 3D image). I mean at some point you have to think this really makes no sense at all. I mean they took some jelly and slapped it on Lyns belly (rhymer). Then out came what appeared to be a T shaped wand, and before you knew it they were showing us a picture of the little guy on a screen. It really baffles me! They also were able to let us hear the heart beat and print off pics. It truly is an amazing thing. I remember looking at Lyns when we he first popped up on the screen. It was like we both had that look like, WOW this is the real deal. By the way for Christmas, I would like a sonogram machine.
So we went to Sonny's BBQ for supper. It is beginning to be one of Lyndsey's top craved places, and I guess the little guys also. They have this new phenomenon at Sonny's, pulled chicken. Seriously, why did they just now come out with this one. I feel like we have all been cheated out for the past 40 years (since Sonny's started up in 1968) * free history lesson. What was interesting is as we walk into the bbq joint to enjoy some great food everyone is giving us the eye. We all know how the eye feels. Inside their minds they are trying to figure who you are or why you look the way you do. Here is our synopsis on this whole stare down at Sonny's. Lets be honest, for many people we appear to be a young teenage couple (see picture above to judge yourself). So when people see us they think oh my goodness they are having a baby and they are only teenagers. This process works very well now that Lyndsey is showing that there is actually a baby inside. I think it is hilarious. I try and make sure people really know that she is pregnant by rubbing her belly. It makes for lots of great stares from the eyes. So next time you get the eye think to yourself, if only I was at Sonny's right now having pulled chicken.
