The Lost One

Yes I know this is my third post in one day. Its called being unemployed.

Its normal for new fathers and mothers-to-be to have fears about parenthood, about pregnancy, about birth, etc. It takes some parents nine months to get used to the idea. Nathan and I have not experienced that. We've been ready and are fully excited. That's not to say we won't have some anxiety at some point. But we are more joyful than fearful. But Nathan does have one fear. One thing about this pregnancy that worries him. What is that you ask? That I will go into labor or be in labor during the LOST series finale. The series finale is set to end May 23 (according to the inter-web), just twelve days before my due date. Now in all seriousness, that probably won't happen. But Nathan does not know the exact date of the series finale, only that it is close to our due date. So I'll certainly be having some fun telling Nathan that the finale will be much closer to my due date for dramatic effect. (Now you'd think with Tivo this wouldn't even be an issue... but what can I say??)

Now of course, that's mostly a joke. But in all honesty, since we're still not close to having the right girl's name... I have a strong suspicion that our girl's name will be inspired by Lost. Is that sad? There are some beautiful names. Clare, Sun, Juliet, Charlotte, Penelope aka Penny, Kate... This would make Nathan very happy. (Hm. And I did tell Nathan its now up to him to find a name for our daughter, should the baby be a girl... so right there may be the top six.)

Like I said before... I blame unemployment and Nathan's 2-10 shift for this kind of silly post.
