Thoughts on Fatherhood

This weekend was rather eventful, usually leaving me more tired Monday morning than Friday afternoon, however this was really quite fun and relaxing. I got to see my precious little boy in more detail than I would have ever imagined!

He's sticking his little hand in his mouth here, and holding relatively still. We got to spend well over an hour with Brooke's cousin Sunni who has a private practice in Tyler and has an awesome 3D sonogram machine. After looking at several angles, she said she's about 80% sure it's a boy. He was kicking and moving all over the place, and it was truly awesome to see.

Also while we were there we got to see 2 of our favorite little boys, Sunni's sons Ethan and Seth. Ethan (3) is now at the age where he says exactly what's going through his mind at every moment without filter, which is hilarious. This ranges from correcting his mother's "bad language" with "Mommy, girls aren't supposed to say wrong words." to "That's Dexter's house. This is our house, but we're not doggies, we're kids." It was impossible not to think about what awaits us as we observed the fun and frustration of having a little boy or two in the house.

We then returned home, cooked up some stuffed jalapenos in our glorious fully functioning oven. We've been without an oven now for nearly a year, so it's still kind of exciting! We went to our Life Group meeting and discussed Post Modernism, which I'll have to post about soon.

Sunday was church, followed by Halo at C4's, which was actually a great winding down for the weekend.
