Anyone who reads my surveys might have noticed something. If you don't read them, I don't blame you. I doubt I'd read them all either. The past few weeks, anytime a survey has asked what I'm looking forward to, I've said "Halloween." I'm not a big Halloween guy. But, Rachel's pregnant, and her due date is October 30!
Yup, I'm gonna be a daddy. I'm extremely excited and nervous at the same time, as all expectant fathers are. We spent this weekend painting a nursery, which was damn near a disaster. Turns out that Andy isn't that handy with a paint brush. We weren't planning on repainting the ceiling, but due to my lack of dexterity, looks like we'll be doing that next weekend. We also somehow managed to vacuum up a sock. How this happened, neither of us know. We couldn't figure out what was clogging the hose, so we tried poking it out with a long stick. When that didn't work, we taped a paring knife to the end of the stick and jabbed it, trying to break up the clog. All this resulted in was a vacuum hose with a hole in it.
My child is going to be so proud of me.
In other news, Subway next to my house is damn close to getting boycotted. The new guy they hired sucks so bad, I may be forced to demand his firing. The conversation I had with him Saturday went like this:
"What can I do for you?"
"I'd like a footlong turkey and ham on Italian Herbs and Cheese, please."
"Ok, I'll get that as soon as I figure out what's wrong with this glove."
(He fiddles with his glove for the next 30 seconds before figuring out he put it on backwards.)
"Did you want that toasted?"
"Yes, please."
"Ok, so that was a footlong turkey on white?"
"No, Italian Herbs and Cheese."
"Right. I thought I'd take a guess."
"I already told you what kind of bread I wanted."
"Oh, right. Guess I'm a little out of it today."
(He proceeds to make a turkey sandwich)
"Um, that was a turkey and ham sandwich"
"Right. (He glances at the chart of how to make sandwiches) Four turkeys, four hams, that's the formula."
"I know. I get it every time I come in here."
"Ok, so was this toasted?"
"Um.....Yes."
We had a similar run in with this douche last week. He's one more strike from me humiliating him by refusing to let him make my sandwich.
I'll close with some Frequently Asked Questions about the baby for those of you who may have them.
- Rachel's due date is October 30th
- We don't know the gender yet, and we don't want to find out. We'll know when it's born, just like you.
- The ultrasound picture in my profile is what the baby looked like at 8 weeks. The head is the blob facing down.
- Rachel's cravings change constantly. In the past two weeks, we've gone from pb&j sandwiches, to Little Debbie Zebra Cakes, to Salami.
- We're still working on names, but right now we're leaning towards Jonah for a boy. The girl's name changes week to week. Right now Kylan and Keira seem to be the leaders.
- We are accepting suggestions for names, so feel free to offer one up.
- Prizes will not be awarded for coming up with the name.
- No word yet on baby showers.
