LAST DAY OF FEBRUARY

Pretty eventful day. I was actually anticipating a call from Melis letting me know her water broke and baby is on the way. With a little over an hour before March 1, it looks like the Leap Year Macaraeg baby is not going to happen...

Melissa had her appointment today with her GYN, who is awesome by the way. Special shout out to Dr. K... I think everyone who works at the Kaiser Fremont OR sees her (women at least), which is kind of weird, if you know what I mean. But I'm not a female, so forget I mentioned anything.

Anyways, we listend to baby's heartbeat and just chatted about random stuff... Which is how about 90% of all the appointments are.... Next appointment is Thurs. 03/06 and Dr. K is going to "check the cervix." She mentioned she's notorious for "speeding up the process" during these last "checks of the cervix." March 10th baby... March 10th.

Afterwards, Melissa and I decided to have our last "dinner and a movie" night together before baby. Ate at Thai Basil in Dublin... Delicious. We met up with Ben and Jenny, and their brother Matt and his girlfriend Noren to watch Semi-Pro with Will Ferrell. Three words: LOVE ME SEXY.

Good movie, definitely had its funny parts. Will Ferrell was really tame in this movie (compared to his other slapsticks), but it had a cool story and all the characters had their moments... 3 out of 4 stars.

LEIF YEAR

So we're upon the the last day of a LEAP YEAR... Until four years from now. I can't lie, a little bit of me is hoping my son pops out on Feb. 29th because that would be so original. I don't think I know anyone personally who's birthday is on Feb. 29th. How do you decide when its your birthday when its not a leap year??? Feb. 28th? Mar. 1?

It would be cruel to think I'd throw him a birthday party only every four years if he does decide to pop out... Really, we're hoping he is a March baby, or else this whole BLOG wouldn't make sense... March 10th wouldn't be a bad 28th birthday for Papa Leif...

Anyways, here's how Baby Boy Mac looks at 40 weeks.

Intro

Baby websites...? Nah. Needed something a little more... MACHO. We're two extroverts with plenty on our minds. Even more-so with a baby boy on the way. This BLOG will help all our family and friends stay connected with us on this journey of LIFE. We hope you enjoy, and even learn something along the way...

I was thinking of doing this BLOG/ DIARY thing during the wedding planning... Didn't happen. Then I wanted to do it right after the wedding as a newlywed thing. Didn't happen.

I thought about it again once I found out Melissa was pregnant- to show the "baby daddy" point of view.Again, didn't happen. For all the new-fathers-to-be: sorry, but you'll just have to figure it out on your own. You and your baby mama can go through the adventure and just experience how this lovely, joyous process called "pregnancy" really changes your life... Good luck.
