Special Entry: What About Me?

The following is a special entry by none other than Dave ...

I cant tell you how aggravated I am right now. I just spent a half hour making this post, writing it out and being funny (as I normally am) and I press 1 button, and POOF gone... buh bye... You would think working in the internet industry I would of.. umm backed up my post. but NOOOOOOOO. Sigh.... well, here's take 2.

Where was I...

SOooo... Hi, I'm Dave. Jen's awesome husband. And I just wanted to drop by and say hello and quell all of the rumors that Jen is married to a hunk/hot/perfect husband. I'm not perfect... I have a lump on my right pinky toe. j/k. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I'm doing well... Well, we werent asking about you, you say? Well, let me just tell you this! You probably all know that Jen had a great pregnancy, with no sickness, mood swings or all the other pregnancy related side effects. But did you know that I had them?!?!? huh? huh? That's right I, EYE, ME, YOURS TRUELY, DAVID STE.... erm ignore that, Had them! Well, not the sickness, but I had the mood swings and hot flashes and stuff, and let me tell you they were no fun at all. There were 2 weeks straight where noone would talk to me at work. But that's all gone. Poor Dave, you say... and I say... ITS ABOUT TIME I GET SOME SYMPATHY! =P

Jen and I are so excited, and can't wait for Haven to come to the world. I dont remember if she disclosed the name in her blog yet, so if she didn't, ignore that last sentence. This weekend might be it! So, I recently have received new gift that I guess comes with being a parent, which I'm going to refer to as my "Spider Sense". In the movie Spiderman, good ole Peter Parker (Spider-man) has heightened senses and abilities, and he refers to them as his spider senses. So here is mine. The past two mornings I have been awoken by fog horns. Fog horns, you say? Yes, fog horns. My alarm clock miraculously has increased its volume by 2000 decibals, and insists on walking over to my ear to let me know how it's feeling. It's really wierd, b/c from the 1st-5th snooze I didnt realize it was my alarm clock, all I knew was when i slammed my clock, the fog horn stopped. It wasnt until the 6th snooze that I was like, "Holy Crap! That's my alarm clock!". Jen too has started honing her spidey senses, and she woke up in the middle of the night a few nights ago to some strange noise in the other room. The noise that happened to be my computer that has been on for like 2 years....

I find it funny when people ask me, "Are you going to watch?" I normally stare at them for a few seconds, and respond with a, "Are you joking?" or an "ARE YOU JOKING?!?!?" I can almost stomach ERs horrible interpretation of the operating room. BUT PULEASE PEOPLE! The doctor has enough to worry about without prying my butt off the floor. I'm making sure that the nurses set up a suspended sheet to encompass Jen's upper body and myself, a chair for me to sit down in and that they do not talk to us until everything is done, and cleaned up. I just don't need to see that. SERIOUSLY. Keep me as far away from the landing zone as possible, but close enough to comfort Jen.

Well I think your all probably tired of me already, so I'll jet. I just wanted to thank all of you who read and post and call and write. You all mean so much to us, and your comfort, and advice are amazing. We appreciate all that you share, and cant wait to share our newest miracle to you.

Hugs

Dave
