Well things have been progressing along nicely. Lacey is now 37cm, meaning that we are officially at full term for our baby! It has been a bumpy and sometimes scary ride, but it’s almost complete. Last night Lacey spent time cleaning the house and putting together the stroller and playpen. So weird. Now that its setup in my living room, its getting so real. I’ve found myself worried about nothing. I don’t know if that’s what it will be like to be a dad, but I realized that the world doesn’t only include me and my wife. Soon I will be financially, spiritually, and emotionally responsible for a person. That, I think, is the oddest thing of all.
So his name is going to be Brandon Luke Jeffries, going by Luke. He is due on November 27, 2008 (Thanksgiving) and Lacey and I couldn’t be more excited.
Luke, I already love you, and I can’t wait to meet you!
-Your Dad
Way to make a pregnant woman cry! Just as I’m excited to meet and hold and love my son, I am excited to see you as his father. It has been amazing to me to see all the subtle changes in you as we have gone through this pregnancy. I am so proud to call you my partner in all things, now addind parenting to the long list. I have had 9 wonderful months getting to know Luke in ways you couldn’t. So what I am excited for is you getting your turn to hold and bond with your son. I love you and I know that you will be exactly the dad Luke needs.
