As luck would have it
It turns out that just about 2 hours after I wrote my last post talking about how in a few more days I would officially be a Dad, Omega woke up with contractions and we wound up in the hospital by 2:30am. By afternoon on the 16th of February, I was able to welcome my brand new daughter, Emma Ryan, to our family!
I haven’t had much of a chance to write since then as things have been a bit of a whirlwind around here with visitors and all that, on top of just trying to get into a routine.
It has been truly amazing and I feel very sad that I have to go back to work so soon, only 4 days of vacation left before it is back to the rat race. Oh well, I suppose I have to go back to work sometime, but I wish I had another full week to spend at home. That’s ok, only about a month and I will get a nice 3 day weekend photo trip with Derek. That should be a lot of fun and I am really looking forward to it.
Just a bit more…
I can’t believe how crazy it seems that in just a few more days I will officially be a Dad! Even though we have been waiting for this time to come, it seems odd to think that there is such a short amount of time left before the little one is here!
It kind of makes me realize all the little things that still need to be done before it arrives, which has me really questioning if I should maybe take the day off of work tomorrow to get it all done. Have to wait and see what happens I suppose.
My new phrase, “anticipation exhilaration” is a good description of my mood right now so what music to listen to before bed tonight?
Guess I’ll have to wing it as nothing comes to mind immediately.
