Ramblings of a Programmer

We had a couple of false alarms earlier in the weekend.  My wife has had, as she puts it, “a lot of tightness” in her tummy and pain in her back.  I guess I am a bit anxious and ready for the little rug rat to get here. 

My wife is just over 2 weeks from giving birth to our second son.  Tonight while in the kitchen, she stopped cold in her tracks.  I asked her what the problem was and she said she had a contraction that about brought her to her knees.  She mentioned later this evening that the contractions were constant while she is up and moving around.

Maybe we will be heading to the hospital this weekend.

My son and I went with my wife for her sonogram today.  Everything looks great with the baby.  Her pregnancy is going very well with no complications.  The baby looks very healthy.  After a lot of coaxing by the technician, the baby finally revealed that it will be a boy. 

Our 9 year old really smiled big when he saw the heart pumping on the screen.  He said that he got his wish.  I think he is taking to the idea of being a big brother.  I just hope he doesn’t charge the little guy for protection at school or something later on.   hahaha

Thursday, March 6th, is the big day for us. We go to my wife’s doctor to have a sonogram that tells us the sex of our baby that is due in July. We are taking Matthew, our 9 year old with us in hopes that he will get excited about being a big brother in the next few months.
