Man with the plan. Yeah, that would be me. With Sonia approachin' the end of her first trimester, (11 weeks, thank God!), I can't help but consider where I, as the captain of the ship, the king of the castle, the head honcho, the overseer of funk, wish to move our family, y'know in terms of the future. Sonia wrote about discipline, which is funny to me because in the household I grew up in, it was quite simple, mess around, feel the pain. If you don't wanna feel the pain, don't mess around, period. That big police utility belt my pops swung sure carried alot of weight! (He probably should have taken the handcuffs off of the belt first though...man! the head cracks!...KIDDING! ) And God forbid we'd get shapped upside the head by my moms boney hand. (Sorry Mom, it's the only way I can describe it. You didn't hit us alot, but when you did, it was well received!)
These days, I think about our future completely different than I used to. NOW it's all about whats best for the baby and us as a family; like where do we want to raise the little one who will one day enslave the world (for it's own good of course!). I think very big changes are in the works. I'm considering relocation as a great way to maximize our financial potential. Of course, I run it all by Sonia who is always supportive of a positive move. And if she sees it as not so positive, she'll simply say "what're you talkin about weirdo?" and I know it's gonna be a hard sell. But I'm determined to keep it all on track. Age-wise, I THINK I have some time before I start pooping myself, but considering my uhm...maturity( shall we say?) I'm looking for as few missteps as possible. The kid hasn't been born yet, but I'm tryin to set him or her up for life in every sense of the word!
I look at the most recent ultrasound everyday several times a day, and it serves as such a motivation. I can't wait to see how the baby's been developing at next months doctors visit, which will be right around my birthday, in a couple of weeks.

What "boney" hand, Marc? You know I had to pick up on that:-) I respect you and Sonia's plans for the future so very much with my little Grandbaby! I can hardly wait to see her or him! I've probably said it many times that the baby is so very blessed to have you and Sonia as loving parents. This is the time God chose for you to bring your little baby into this world!
