Aya's Pregnant

Topic: The OBYGN

Okay, what a sham. When you go to the OBYGN to find out if you are pregnant (Aya and not me) they don’t do squat. They push you off to an ultrasound lab and then to the blood withdrawal department. Of course those appointments are on different days. Thus, you have to wait another few weeks to find out if you are pregnant. So guys, don’t take off work until the ultrasound.

On a side note, guys have you been to an OBGYN with your lady? I have never gone until now. Naturally all the patients in there are women, but they all kinda stare at you like, “What are you doing here?” Man, if women think going to an OBYGN is uncomfortable try sitting in the waiting room with a bunch of ugly fat women!


Topic: Nesting

So after a week of no sleep and feeling ill, my body shifted into nesting mode. I made a list of repairs and things that I need to do around the house before the baby was born. Of course for me, this meant making Visio diagrams of the house to rearrange furniture. Making a project plan with milestones on when jobs need to be completed.

Of course, I have zero patience, so I had to start working on the jobs ASAP. We are still looking for a home, but realistically we aren’t moving so now I have 9 more months to get the house in ship shape.


Topic: Walter the Farting Dog

I was at the book store and I randomly came across this children’s book, Walter the Farting dog. This book has no moral, no point, illustrated horribly. I mean, it’s funny as hell from an adult stand point, but for a kids book…I just don’t get it. Of course I bought it. So, for all you couples with no kids and you are looking for a baby gift, I recommend Walter the Farting dog. Once people see that, you will be off the baby bday list.


Topic: 12 Week - Taboo

I can totally understand why people wait until 12 weeks to tell people they are pregnant. They want to be sure they have a healthy baby on the way. I guess so many things can happen in the first 12 weeks where you can miscarry and lose the baby. Nobody wants to talk about it or jinx it so no one wants to hear about a baby until 12 weeks.

As potential first time parents, it is so hard to keep it a secret. You want to tell everyone and get it out in the open. Heck, maybe people have bits of wisdom to pass along to us so that we can make the 12 weeks without a problem.

Topic: Do you ever wonder….

If you want to have children or what it would be like to have kids? I am sure everyone has had those thoughts. My thoughts (even before Aya got pregnant) was when am I going to have time to play video games, lounge and play ball if I have kids?? What happens on those days you come back from work all tired?? I am in ZERO mood to talk to Aya so how will I be in the mood to talk to Miles, Jr.?

When will be the next time I can sleep until noon? When can I stay home all weekend playing Grand Theft Auto, ordering pizza and Chinese food, wearing the same clothes all weekend, not brushing my teeth while the wife is gone to Fullerton? Yes, a lot of me, me, me stuff…but that’s ME!!! Argh. Let the record show, I was not completely down with this idea for Miles, Jr.

Has anyone’s water burst in the car?? I wonder if that cleans easy….and will I have to clean that crap up??? Yucko. Eewww….just gross thinking about it.

Topic: Boy or Girl

I think most guys want a boy and most women went a girl. I always, always thought a boy and only a boy. Aya and I have been together 6 years now and I have to say, I think I have gotten less aggressive, less angry and more patient. Now I said LESS, so I still get all mean and angry.
In a nut shell, being married has been good for me.

I know Aya would love to have a girl. A girl means Aya has someone to go shopping with her. If we have a boy that just means two mean and angry people get to terrorize Aya.

Bottom line is we just want a healthy baby. I can’t tell you how important that is to us. Honestly, I could care less if it is a boy or a girl…just healthy. It’s probably the only thing I really think about nowadays, just keeping Aya safe and healthy so that our baby can be healthy.

Aya's co-worker does this chinese baby horoscope thing and she said we are having a girl. A girl would be nice. I think with a girl I would just become more mellow and patient. Afterall who can yell at a little girl?? I may be a jerk, but I think I draw the line at yelling at little girls....I think.
