Four weeks! or 28 day! Either way it’s very exciting. Lacey says that baby Bailee is a very active little guy, which is good. I am so excited, “oh the places we’ll go.”
I am excited about t-ball, basketball, football, golf, camping, floating the river, going to the lake, gardening, calling the hogs, and singing “take me out to the ballgame.” I’ve mentioned to Lacey a few times when watching Cardinals games, how fun it’s going to be in a few weeks when the little guy can lay and watch games with us. I’m also excited about getting to do some of these things with my dad. Dad and I talked yesterday about taking a floating/camping trip in a few years when baby Bailee is old enough to do so, it’ll be so fun.
Dr. Leslie said last week that if the Lacey goes into labor, he wouldn’t stop it. He also said that he would prefer that the baby wait until the 38 week mark, which is two weeks from today. However I have been trying to bribe baby Bailee into coming out to play. The offerings of cheeseburgers and ice cream seemed to have no effect, but Lacey said that he did seem a little restless when I mentioned a race car. I know that bribing is not a good parenting habit, but I think I can get away with it just this one time.
Lacey has done so well throughout this pregnancy. She has remained positive and smiling and always had a good attitude. She has read horror stories from the internet about psycho pregnant ladies, which just reminds me to praise the lord for blessing me with such an amazing wife. This will be my first child, so this has also been the first time that I have spent an extended amount of time around a pregnant woman, but as far as I can tell Lacey has been as good as it gets. I love my wife.
Now back to the baby. Lacey and I have recently been discussing baby Bailee’s potential traits and mannerism. I was a smart aleck and Lacey has said that she talked a lot, (her words, not mine), so if my math is right, baby Bailee will be a smart aleck that talks a lot. This is not a problem or a bad thing, it’s just something that we hadn’t thought of until recently. I have also been explaining that orneriness tends to run in my family, (an ornery, smart aleck that talks a lot). It’ll be so fun. This paragraph is not intended to be negative in any form or fashion, I just think that it’s amusing that we had never thought about things like this in our numerous baby talks. Regardless of baby Bailee’s mannerism, we will love him the same.
I meant to include a brief discussion about my garden in this one but I think I am running a little long as it is, maybe next time…
