The Last Day Ever that Spur isn't a dad...

I've never been so anxious. I've never been so excited. I've never been so curious. I've never felt this overwhelmed....

Nothing in my life... not santa coming as a kid, not graduations, not birthdays, not even my wedding made me feel the way that I do now. I'm so ready and I'm so not. Will I be a good dad? Can I handle the sleeplessness, the worrying, the trouble this will cause? Can I succeed? Can I take care of my family? Will it be healthy? Will I outlive it? For that matter... WHAT IS IT?!

At least a couple of these questions will be laid to rest tomorrow. At 7am in the morning the little lady and I will be heading for the hospital to induce the birth of our baby. It's just gotten too big and it's time it came out. I will try to blog about what happens to let folks out there be a part of this amazing experience. It truly seems impossible, but on January 15, 2009, you're old buddy Spur's life is changing forever. I couldn't be more scared, elated, confident, nervous, excited or terrified if I tried. Pray for my wife, that everything goes smoothly. Thanks for always reading and being a part of my life. Much love... Spur

What would a day at work be without gems from the students?
Overheard @ WoRMS *BABY EDITION*
Kid: But how do you KNOW it's happening tomorrow?
Me: The birth?
Kid: Yeah. How do you KNOW?
Me: Well we're inducing.
Kid: Huh?
Me: They'll give my wife drugs to make her go into labor.
Kid: But aren't drugs bad for the baby?
Other Kid: Yeah idiot, that's why they're doing it. They're trying to hurt the baby.

Talking about baby again...

Kid: Just be careful and check out what your baby's name means. My parents are idiots. My name means 'Homely Servant' and my brother's is 'Unfortunate Hayfield'
Me: Those are sweet... woog
