Christmas Countdown - 2013

[MerryCarey]

Sorry it was a trying experience. You would think in this day & age, it would be simple. I had the same issue with my phone, and transferring everything on my new phone from the back-up. Not looking forward to bugs with IOS7.

Hope you have it all worked out now!

I think so. I had to reload all my music, books, audiobooks, etc., but I haven't found any major glitches yet, so the restoration from the backup seems to have been successful. Fingers crossed.

Gym? Work out? Treadmill?

Why is everyone using such dirty words this early in the morning? I thought this was a family forum!!! :lol:

:lol:

This was definitely a Walter Cronkite "You Are There" moment, one for the history pages and eloquently shared with us. As I read your post, I thought, as I do with each classroom of kids, that if each child in my care could have such a family life, one filled with love and protection, what a wonderful world that would be. With your promise to your daughter, I have no doubt that there is a corner of the world where that is such a place.

Wow.....

Overwhelmed with emotions. That's how I feel....words can't explain it, but I want to try.

Birth.....was unlike anything I could have expected. Seeing the love of my life in labor for 15 hours (5 of those without any painkiller), vomiting the last 10, seeing the baby being born....it was all.....well....almost horrific.

The love of my life was hurting. She was in so much pain because of an accident with her epidural. I kinda felt robbed....all I ever heard was how great the birth process was....and it didn't feel like that to me....

Until I saw my daughter.

When she came out....and they placed her on my wife...when they handed her to me....never has something so light (7.5 pds) felt so heavy....and yet so pure....

I was so humbled to be in her presence....that I literally wanted to crawl under a chair because I didn't feel worthy...it was so emotional....

and all I remember telling myself...with tears coming down my face....is that no one....no one.....deserves all the blessings.....no one deserves to be this lucky....

for I am blessed...

I wanted so long to be a father....I've dreamed of it for nine months....and now I just want to spend the rest of my life being her Dad.....it seems as if nothing else even matters anymore...

My promise to my daughter is this....I will be the man she needs me to be. I will show her what a man is supposed to be....so that she knows what to look for one day....I will teach her to pray...how to win and how to lose...but mostly...through my example I set by how I treat her....I will show her how to love unconditionally....

She was born at 9:46 pm....she was 19 inches and 7.5 pounds...

and it was love at first sight....

Enjoy every second being a father, they grow up so fast.

Well guys it has been a very busy and hectic day for me and I am glad it is over. The weather is rainy and cold we are probably going to turn on the heat for the first time this season. If the room temp gets down to 68 I am going to try to turn it on. The wife wants me to keep it on 66F! TO me that is way to cold. THe lows tonight are going to be around 40F. After reading Ballcoach post I think I will go take Jordan and James to bed with us tonight and just let them sleep in our room you can never spoil a little one too much Have a great night fellow Christmas nuts I will talk to you all in the morning!!!

 

[xmas365]

Good evening,

I made it through a full shift at work tonight, I still feel well. We have Eggnog at my store already!!!! I took a picture of it and posted it to the Blossoms thread, I have never taken part of the Blossoms thread the 3 years I have been here, until now.

I have to head back to work bright and early.

Have a good night all!

 

[Seawaters]

I was thinking along those same lines, Crown. Coach's post was truly from the heart.

Fantastic post, Ballcoach. On par with our November "special post" series!

(Carl says your daughter has a free camel ride coming once she's old enough to come to the 'Pines!)

 

[ballcoach]

You know what's even better than being a Dad?

Being a Dad and watching Darlene Love....

How many more days Binger?

 

[made582]

Goodnight Everyone!!!!


Coach- Congratulations again friend!!!! I'll be keeping you, Dr. Wifey, and the Little Bambina in my prayers.

 

[Seawaters]

That sounds like a wonderful fatherly thing to do. Hold your little ones close!

This time difference sometimes drives me crazy. When majority of guys are going to sleep, I'm starting my day here. ^^

Anyway, good morning everyone!

I'm about to go to uni so I just popped in to wish all a nice day!
