So the doctor told my wife yesterday that our little guy may come anytime after the next 2 weeks.\u00a0 EEEEP!\u00a0\u00a0 Holy Moses smell the roses, am I ready?\u00a0 My wife looks seems calm and prepared, but I’m in a panic in my mind — “What do I bring with me to the hospital?\u00a0 Where do I drop her off?” <\/em>I better figure this out right away!<\/p>\n

It’s not like we’re totally unready – just not as prepared as I’d like to be.\u00a0 My wife told me there’s a Chinese superstition that they don’t get ready till the last minute so they don’t invite unwelcome guests.\u00a0 You know, like of the spiritual kind.\u00a0 Like the baby crib for instance isn’t supposed to be put together until she’s at the hospital.\u00a0 I’m not sure I’m willing to wait until then…spirits or no spirits.\u00a0 So I think we’ve compromised to build it this coming week.\u00a0 I’ll just call the Ghost Hunters<\/em> if my child ends up like Damien Omen<\/em>.<\/p>\n

We got our stroller, crib, bedding, car seat and baby clothing.\u00a0 Seems to be the major items eh?\u00a0 I got 1 daiper…we got that as a sampler in the mail.\u00a0 Good nuff?<\/p>\n

Anyway the reason why I brought this all up was that I saw this cute little collection<\/a> of baby stuff posted on Monster-Munch<\/a>.\u00a0 Even baby stuff can be well designed eh?<\/p>\n

Lately I’ve been shopping<\/span> dragged to the mall with my wife and I see these little stuffed animals I thought would be a good pal for the little guy.\u00a0 My wife says, “Boy’s don’t play with dolls”<\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0 I differ!\u00a0 Every guy I know so far had some kind of nappy childhood plaything for comfort.\u00a0 I’m not the only one that had a busted up stuffed animal<\/a> for comfort.\u00a0 Am I?\u00a0 Am I?<\/p>\n

Why do I suddenly have an image of Damien Omen ripping up a doll to shreds?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
