HALLOWEEN!!!

HALLOWEEN!!HALLOWEEN!!HALLOWEEN!! Its that of time already.  i know my son will enjoy this time.  He's is in the spirit of dressing up. All day he was waiting for the time to go out and get a bunch of candy.   it was about three-thirty, it was  time to get him dress! Last year he was a ninja.  I guess he kind of going for that look too this year.  Japanese Power Ranger! Morphin time!  We hope that the weather will turn out nice.  Last year he was afraid to say "trick or treat".  He made my wife and I.  I guess he's a big boy now, he can say it this time.   The plan is to stay around the north side and might work our way to the south side where grandpa and grandma lives.  The next plan is to wait for my brother-in-laws son.  I think it would be a perfect idea for those two to go together.  But times they kind of fight, just over like thing like wanting toys or not sharing.   Over all, it's just abut the kids having fun and letting them eat all the candy they want to.

NEW!!!!!!

As nine months ago, all the waiting is over.  Later that night, my wife was experiencing stomach pains.  It was late at night, so we just went to bed.  It was four in the morning, as my wife woke me up and said “My water broke!"  I got up as fast as I can to get all the things ready for us to go to the hospital.  As we head into the car, he had to make a stop at my mother-in-laws to drop off my son there.   As we made our way to the hospital, my wife just said "sorry."  I replied back "For what?"  All she said was "I got your seat wet."  I was "What" for a second and just said "Who Cares."  As we got there, she made me hind a parking space.  I was going to park in emergency area until they get we room.  So, I just did what she told me to do.  Going throw the doors, all I thought of was the baby and the wife.  I was nerves.  It felt like when we had our first child.  All the same feeling came back.   When the nurses got us a room, the mid-wife came in and check if she was dilated.  The nurse said “Two Centimeters.” I think that is what she said.  As they felt the room, I asked my wife if she was going to have a normal birth.  I mean no drug used such as an epidural. She replies back and said yes.  Are you able to bare all the pain?  “Yes” she said.  Okay then!  In the moment of time, it came to deliver the baby.  She wanted me to stand by her side as she was holding my hands.  I thought I my hand was going to get rip out.  As she squeezing my hand, the pain was unbearable. But I know I just had to put up with the pain.  About an hour later, we had our son on the 30th of September.  He weight at seven pounds and eleven ounces.  That was the same weight as our first child.  What name should we pick?  The wife had picked out a couple of names like Jaxson, Bentley, and others.   We have chosen to go with Jaxson.  As I think about it, the time when we had our child, it almost a month already. Where did the time go! Wow! It went by fast.

Change

When I was younger, I was always skeptical of the things people told me. I always needed to have things proven to me before I would believe them.  Maybe that is because I was always very independent. 

As my life goes on, there was a moment in my life that I never thought would come as soon as it did.  On that Saturday afternoon, I got a call from my girlfriend.  As she spoke the tone of her voice changed, it sounded like there was something wrong. It came to me; she was mad at me because I went out last night and didn’t call her. I was wrong.  It appeared that she needed to talk to me in person, but I realized I had no idea what was on her mind.  I found out later that afternoon; she said in a slow timid voice “I’m pregnant”!   

Millions of thoughts went through my mind. ”I don’t believe you!”   “Are you sure?”  “Have you tested yourself yet?” “When?” “Are you really sure?”  Or you’re just playing with my mind to see what I’ll say about it. I stood alone thinking to myself: “how could this happen.”  I always thought my life would be all fun and games.  Life as I knew it was fun.  I had planned to go to school, get a good job, and maybe travel.  I never thought this could happen to me.  For the rest of the night I couldn’t think of anything else.

I called her later to ask her to take another pregnancy test so I could be sure that I going to be a father. The very next day we bought a pregnancy test to see if the result is the same.  As we wove though the store looking for the pregnancy test, I kept asking myself: “how could this happen! Why me! Why can’t this come later in life why now?” Then, there it was, in the middle of the shelf.  “The” test the one that will tell me how life going to turn out.  Now it was in the hands of “faith”. On the way home I kept picturing both a plus and a minus sign. If it turns out to be positive; I guess that’s how life is going to be then “I’ll be a father”.  As she goes in, the door closes behind her; she takes the test, and walks out.  The result will show up in minutes.  It seems like life on a thin line right now! When the waiting was over, she went in to look. I followed. The moment of truth! A blue line. 

Oh no! As I look closer and it showed a positive sign. Frustration showed on my face as I processed the results. I’m going to be a father! I’m going to be a father! I’m going to be a father!  As I look at her, all she said “I told you!” “I told you!”  I replied: I guess you were right.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized that it didn’t have to be a bad thing.  I guess it could be a good change in life, like no more parties, going out or going out of town. The party life is over now.  It’s time to show that I can change. Show that I’m ready to be a father now.  The nine months of waiting came fast and on November of 16^th of 2006 our child, a son named Vincent was born.    Marvel at a gift of Vincent. We never know what direction life will take us to. All we need to make the best in our life.  Life as you all know it can change in seconds.
