Where in the World is Daddy?
The answer this week is, Brussels!
Branden has been getting in his business travel before Baby Sister is born and that means he has been gone, A LOT. His travel was under control until the last month or so. Garrett is really missing him and so am I. The most we have seen him is two days in a row.
We went to Arkansas this past weekend just the two of us and Garrett stayed with my sister and her family. Branden and I had a great time seeing old friends. It was nice but short lived since we got in Sunday morning and B left for London Sunday night. He hasn’t seen Garrett in almost a week. When they talked on the phone this morning Garrett thanked Branden for calling him. I almost cried. He also asked how many minutes until he comes home. Garrett is ready for some much needed Daddy time but that will have to wait. Branden gets in Thursday late afternoon, is going flying Friday night, and leaves on Saturday for is Father’s Day Football Game in San Francisco. He gets back on Monday and will leave again on Tuesday. It will all be over soon and will be worth it when he gets to stay home with us.
We will get our family time in before Baby Sister gets here if she cooperates. Right now we are still on target for a late November arrival. I am having Braxton Hicks contractions every now and then and she is very low. So my body is getting ready. It takes a lot for me to get around these days. So if you call and I am out of breath I didn’t just get in from a run I probably just walked up the stairs.
Her room is finished and the cats are enjoying sleeping in her bed and on the changing table. We all are getting ready for her arrival. I am almost finished Christmas shopping and have all of the presents wrapped and ready to go. With her coming during the holidays I want to be able to enjoy my time and not be rushed. The holidays are busy enough without a newborn but we are planning on taking it easy this year.
Branden has the baby betting game ready and will send that out soon if you would like to play again.
Hope everyone is going to enjoy our 24 hours of Fall weather that came in this afternoon, I know I will.
