Baby #3

Today is the big day. My wife and I will be heading out (no pun intended) to the hospital around 2pm for my wife's scheduled c-section. We are having a baby boy. We are excited and nervous all at the same time. Life is truly a gift from God, but sleep is as well and once you get over 30 it becomes even more important. Thus the excitement and nervousness. Experience tells us though that God provides what you need to get through whatever sleep deprived haze you may be wading through, so I'm sure we'll be fine.

Moving from man-to-man defense with two kids to zone defense with three will also be an interesting new challenge (please forgive the basketball metaphor if you are not a fan). We are not totally set on a name yet, so if you want to throw out some suggestions, we are game.

For my wife's first two c-sections, I didn't watch that much, fearing that I might lose my lunch or pass out, but this time around I think I might try and catch as much of the action as I can stomach (again, no pun intended).

We would covet your prayers today that God would give grace to all involved. Children truly are a blessing from the Lord.

As a father of 4, all I can say is "cool beans".

I'll be praying for you, your wife and your expanding family.

I didn't know Kim was expecting! Our baby is due in 3 weeks, so I can feel your heart brother! Please do tell us how it goes. We will be praying for you all, as well as for your stomach. : )

P.S. Think of it this ways, I guess you will have a full basketball team now!
