Showers

Why do throwing parties have to be so complicated? Why do I have to be involved when I'm the guest of honor? Just tell me the date and I'll be there, you do everything else. I don't want to have 50 million showers. I don't want to have every weekend of one month filled with these things, but if it has to be that way then so be it. I don't know why families can't work together on these things instead of getting in each others faces and wanting it done their way.

On top of that I have to deal with your father and not wanting to go shopping to register for stuff for you. It's been very frustrating. I'll seriously just go myself except I don't want to ... lol, I like second opinions when I shop. I will say this, with all the showers and people involved I'm sure you will be one very spoiled and happy baby!

As the day gets closer all I want to do is focus on you, but I can't. I have to worry about work and school and finding time in between that to get the house ready for you. I'm so excited to get it ready for you but I'm stuck. Stuck until the bathroom's done, until the ferrets are gone, until your room is painted. People keep telling me that I should keep you in our room for a while, but why waste your room, especially if my old bed will be in there? I'll just sleep right by you - that'll be better for me since I don't do well being woken up and getting little to no sleep :) but I'll deal with it for you.

Be glad you're a boy and won't have to deal with showers and all that goes along with it, let your future wife handle it ... but be helpful at the same time, even if she doesn't act like she needs the help, offer - you might be surprised.

I can't wait to see the type of man you'll be. I pray that you won't be the stereotypical PK, but I think you'll definitely be an interesting kid between your father and me :)

I love you.
