The Life And Times Of James M. Wisler

Keeping this short since its not easy posting from Mel’s phone. Mommy and baby are in good health. Daddy needs a nap.

In just about 24 hours Mel and I will head out to check in to Lawrence Memorial for the scheduled delivery of our first child. How freakin’ exciting is that? Honostly, being able to schedule the delivery and go to check in feels kind of like cheating. For the past few months I thought it would go something more like speeding home on the highway after she calls me to tell me that she has gone into labor. But I suppose cheating nature is a good thing when everyone is happy and healthy.

Last few days have been busy, busy, busy. Melissa didn’t go into hardcore nesting phase until she was already on restricted activity and so I got a good workout out of it. Of course I enjoyed it since Mel does all the real work during the pregnancy, I am thankful that I have something to do to contribute to the whole process. Of course I still haven’t figured out how having the lawn mowed will help the delivery go any better, but it got done.

I think the last few things to take care of are packing the bags, putting the carseat in the car, and charging the batteries for the camera. Mel has even found time to start planning her first pub crawl as a mother.
