Daddy's Birthday

I've turned another year older and at 37 I will have my first child. Pretty amazing. I've had a lot of time to think over the past 24-48 hours about life and the changes ahead and I have to say that they are super exiciting and quite scary at the same time. I don't even know if I've really processed it all. I guess I still may be at a loss.



Yesterday was a great day for me no matter how I look at it. I woke up with the intent of having a very relaxing stress free days. I did not go to work until later, say 11:00 AM. I woke up around 8:00, went to the gym, ran 2 miles, tried to lift some weights but was held back by my shoulder injury, and then soaked in the hot tub for about 15 minutes. I then went to get a hair cut, showerd up and went to work. I ensured that there were no patients for me to see yesterday, and attend meetings and gave supervision. All in all, a very relaxing stress free day. In the evening, Mimi and I joined Ton and Cynthia for dinner at Harris' Steak House in the city, where we have a meat eating fest. I think we're all a little meated out right now. It was still really good and I thank Ton and Cynthia for their generosity of taking us out. That was a nice and probably very expensive meal.



So the baby is developing well, as far as we know. She is kicking and moving around in the belly. We can feel her, and if you look close enough, you can see her belly moving when the baby either kicks or pushes out. Now that is what is very amazing. I love watching and feeling our baby girl move. There is something comforting about knowing that the baby girl is making movements and well, alive!
