Father's Day
I am very disappointed in my uterus. Father's day is practically over, and it didn't even try to contract once. Not even a Braxton-Hicks. I was really hoping this kid would come today...can you imagine? I would never have to buy Ton Ton a Father's Day present again! I was already planning the conversation we would have next February:
Me: So, Mother's Day is coming up Ton Ton: It's not 'til May! Me: Well, I'm just saying...remember what I got you for Father's Day last year. I worked on that gift for nine months!
No such luck. Instead of giving Ton Ton the gift of life, I celebrated Father's Day at home, as we hosted a barbecue for family and friends. We gave Uli a hat that says #1 Grandpa and he LOVED it! He immediately put it on, and made sure everyone at the party noticed it. I just hope the hat doesn't create any problems for him in the future, like in this case...
I can't wait for Belly to meet #1 Grandpa and World's Greatest Dad. That's one lucky baby!
Luki: our son, born on July 2, 2009 Ton Ton: husband, baby daddy, rock star Big E: mother, Ton Ton's nemesis Uli: dad, superhero Mamacita: mother in law, lives in Venezuela Ani: brother, hero in training
Most of the time, my immediate reaction to any situation, whether it be somber, funny, or stressful, is to laugh. That doesn't mean that I don't cry or get upset; I absolutely do. Yet...the humor in life is what jumps out at me first. Or maybe, to quote a good friend, "I just laugh to keep from keening".
another great and hilarious post!
