The General Principle

5 more weeks until our daughter makes it to this sphere in which we dwell. I know I could speak for J and I, but I'll speak for myself. I'm really nervous, in a positive, and slightly negative way. I mean, who wouldn't be. To my daughter, I will probably be the smartest, most influential person in her life (hopefully forever), and those are big shoes to fill. I'm certain though, when I look at her, and see the even mix of her mother and I, it wont matter whether I know the answers the questions she poses, or whether I'm really tired, and dont have enough energy to give...I WILL!!!

Maleah is the first girl on my side of the family, and the first grandchild on my wife's side, so everyone is equally as excited about her arrival. I've given her so many names, heartbeat, buttafly, swish swish, lil lady, m jizzle. My oldest brother named her miracle, cause thats the name that he saw in a dream, and he's actually the first person that told the family we were going to have a girl, even buying her a pink outfit for Christmas, before we knew what we were having. A new name came to mind, and I thought it was most fitting.... "First Lady"!

We're going to weekly appts from here on out. In my spare time, I've been trying to move stuff around, and get the house prepared for her arrival. J is going through all of her clothes, trying to decide what can be put to the back of the closet, and what she will need immediately. It's overwhelming, we're so new to this, and sometimes we feel like we're walking into it blindly. I just feel like God wouldnt have given us a daughter if he didnt think we could handle it. WE ARE BLESSED!!!!! TRULY!!!!!


See ya soon "first lady"
