I've been told that the 40 weeks of a pregnancy feels like it is a second in time.
Well not for this guy... I have found a way to continuously start large projects that under normal circumstances I would not even think of trying to complete by myself. First it was installing wood floors. Then I decided we needed to change the lighting in the kitchen from fluorescent lighting to recessed lights. Oh, and I also decided to install an above ground irrigation system for the plant beds in the backyard.
Not once did I consider it my version of so called "nesting". In all honesty, I hadn't even heard the term until Lizzy called me out on it. In retrospect, IT IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE! I was doing anything in my power to pass the time and not focus on the fact that I/We are about to be parents!
We are on week number 36 now, and after all of my projects that I've completed, I have not started any new ones, and am starting to freak out a bit!
I guess it is time to install those gutters and pour that concrete slab this weekend...
For the first 31 years of my life, I have only cared for myself. But now, I have the gift of a son. This blog captures the trials and tribulations of a father as my wife and I embark on the journey of parenthood. I will write about everything from key milestones to products we use. From the viewpoint of a father.

32 week update
Lizzy and I anxiously visited the doctor this morning for the first time since she was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I am happy to report that both mother and baby are progressing nicely! There are no concerns in regards to size or health for both!
We were worried because the last time we went to the doctor, the baby had doubled in size. Wyatt is now growing at a much more steady pace and has grown to a healthy 4lbs 2oz.
He is going to have some chubby cheeks when he is born as you can see from the picture below!
