**UPDATED** See below for baby’s gender
In a few short hours, I will get some info on the baby growing in my wife’s belly. The anticipation over the past 24 hours has made all else seem insignificant. I feel like I am stuck in Dr. Seuss’s Waiting Place.
Super Bowl? Didn’t care.
Reading a book with some hot tea? Felt forced.
Whatever I’m doing, my thoughts drift to Baby Burn. For the first time in my adult life (and during this pregnancy), time has slowed to a crawl.
Nothing prepares you to hear those words, much less utter them yourself. You know those moments that you’ve seen in the movies about time standing still? It happens. S**t gets real. Real good, but real in a way you have never experienced in life before.
OK Cole, pick your jaw up off the floor
Such was my 6:30 am wake up call on October 29th, 2011. My wife was anxiously trying to get me out of bed to come see something, and like a bear coming out of hibernation I was resisting the waking world. As I stumbled out of bed, protesting the whole way, she presented me with the above picture – in full stereoscopic 3D of the real world.
BAM! Ton of bricks, meet Cole.
