In a Month's Time

I wrote a post on my NZ blog a month ago about chapters in my life from a fishing perspective with it ending on how Paige and I are going to have a baby. Not much has changed since I wrote that, except the fact that it’s a month later, Paige’s belly has grown and we are nearly halfway until the baby arrives.

Sure a few more things can happen over that month and they did, but on the other hand some things haven’t.

I still have the most beautiful women in the world in my life. The fullness in my heart and my love for Paige is still there, but only even greater. I love waking up everyday and being able see her asleep, knowing that our baby is sleeping right with her.

I got to see a glimpse of how proud Paige will be of our child. One of her schools was putting on a play and she was bursting with pride over them…and I can’t imagine how proud she will be when our kid does something similar…or when she 1^st talks or walks (yeah, I said she. Everyone seems to think we’re having a boy except for me!)

Paige’s belly is beginning to get big and she looks amazing. My sister, Chelsea, had given Paige some oil to rub on her belly and I have a new ritual of rubbing that on her belly every night and bonding with the baby.

Tomorrow we find out if we are having a boy or a girl. I can’t remember a time when I was more excited. I get butterflies in my stomach every time I think about it. Soon we will be starting to gather things for the baby’s room and getting ready for it when it comes home for the 1^st time.

Also in that month span I’ve also decided that reel mowers are a pain in the ass. It takes twice as long to mow the lawn and I advise anyone whose thinking about getting one to think twice.
