Hello all, Sorry I’ve been away for so long. With baby girl #2 coming soon, I’ve been super-busy. I’m half-way done with the nursery painting and then the carpet and electric need to be done. Hopefully the furniture will arrive before she does. But in the midst of all that I’m playing and having a great time with Mads and helping my wife deal with one nasty nightmare of a pregnancy. Since her conception its been one hiccup to hurdle to deal with. Pain, discomfort, extreme exhaustion, scares and hospital visits have mired the joy and fun of what could’ve been a nice pregnancy. She had gall-stones with Maddie’s pregnancy and we wish we could just deal with that again. As I write this I’m waiting for my wife to return from the hospital where she was for 2 nights and 2 days to be home for good on bed-rest. On the bright side she will be home with us for a long time.

Today is also Maddie’s third birthday! We went to visit Mommy at the hospital and even opened up some gifts there. Maddie was fine with the whole situation. She’s such a trooper. In fact she’s such a trooper that she’s able to endure with extreme challenges that her dopey daddy giver her like: Locking her in his car with the keys inside!

Yup! You read that right. I made a big boo-boo and accidentally locked my little girl in my car while she sat in her child safety seat and was calm the whole time while I made my very first 911 call. Luckily, the EMT guys arrived quickly and were able to open up the car and Maddie told me: “Don’t do that again, Daddy!”

So she’s had a very memorable birthday so far me thinks.
