Fathers Day 2008

So here it is my FIRST fathers day, well technically I guess it is. The baby isn’t due until August 18th, but I can see it poke my brides stomach, feel it’s kick as it excercises it’s tiny hands, feet, elbows and toes. So I guess I am really a Father. I can’t imagine the emotions my own Father felt the day I was born. In those days there were’nt any ultrasounds to “see” the baby months before it was born, you determined the sex by how it was “carried”,, ie: “Low means it’s a boy”, so “High means its a girl” is its opposite. 

 We chose NOT to determine the sex of the child, Oh sure the hospital knows and the doctors know, we just chose not to know so that we can be just as surprised as our parents were when Christen and I were born. I think this fathers day will mean more to me than in years past, I’ll call my dad and we’ll chat about golf, the weather, what mom’s cookin up for dinner and the like but this year will be a little different, perhaps MY dad will call me to wish ME a happy fathers day!. That would be pretty cool indeed!
