First fear diapers 2nd fear....

Boy or girl? Wow what a big date coming up on the 6th of Jan. If its a boy i will have to invest heavily into some hardcore beating sticks etc to keep him in line. I mean one, its my son and i wasnt exactly the easiest little boy to keep in line. 2) we are naming him "Cash Davidson" No middle name, just bad ass Cash Davidson. I cant imagine him being an artsy well behaved kid, but more a hellion who i am on a first name basis with his teachers and 13 yo girls refusing to babysit......


.....speaking of 13yo girls JFC if its a girl. Obv some big fears there and i will quote Bill Simmons since i think he summed it up really well, "when she's in the ninth grade, I can't have some senior showing up with a Gasol beard, a USC hat and an SUV shaking my hand and saying that they're 'just going out for a bite to eat,' only he's going to have that barely perceptible, 'I've felt your daughter's boobs before, and I'm going to do it again tonight' smirk on his face, followed by me stabbing him to death and serving the mandatory sentence" So it is safe to say i will be stockpiling pump action shotguns if its a girl. We have also already picked her name out and it would be "Katy Marie Davidson" 


I am honestly really happy, nervous, excited no matter what the gender is. There is pros and cons to both. The cons ive mentioned but the pros of a boy are obvious with sports, carrying on the family name, etc. And if its a girl i could still do some participating in girly sports (i.e. soccer) and at the same time i would never have to discipline her and make sure she knows that shes not allowed to talk to boys until shes at least 25. 


I have another blog ready to write but ill wait awhile as it will be just as relevant in a few weeks as it is now. And i keep thinking of some things from time to time but by the time im home i forget the topic so i will start writing those down. 


Uhhhhhhhhh christmas was great and "Pat" made out awesome with a swing, some stuffed animals, blankets, a rocking chair, and some other stuff. Lindy and i did alright too but most important is we spent it together and lived within our tax bracket. Oh and we took our first annual family pics which was actually pretty grown up and fun of us. 


See yall soon with the gender results

ahhhhhpoop

A couple of statements. Babies are cute. Babies need diapers changed. The writer of this blog HATES poop. I almost gagged just writing that last statement. My parents joke that when i was a baby i would make this stink face when i was.....well, when i was shitting myself in my diaper. Any time i come in contact with poop of any kind i gag and near throw up. One of my biggest concerns about having a baby has always been whether i was going to be expected to change poopy diapers.

As the thought of being just weeks away from having a baby creep in i have gradually come to terms with a couple things
1) i most likely will have to change poop diapers
2) it might not be that bad (yes ive sort of bought into the "when its ur child" bs)
3) YUCK!!!! Im going to have to change poopy diapers.

Hey, its progress. I mean a couple years of dealing with poo....UGH FINE, whatever! Now being an only child and not really remembering back to when i was 2 or 3 i never really knew the details of potty training. Ok for the first 2 years or so a child is in diapers, i got that. Then you teach them to use their own little toilet....i forgot about that to be honest but yeah ok. Sick that i have to empty that out but hey at least I'm not wiping poop butt anymore amirite....

Well it turns out i am not right at all! Apparently my wife has known all along and none of my friends bothered to tell me, when ur kid starts using the toilet.....YOU STILL HAVE TO WIPE THEIR BUTT!!!!! YUCK! I cannot believe what i have signed up for here.

At first sure, whatever little baby poo and from what i read it doesnt even smell bad until they go on solid foods, but after that gag, yuck, gross! I have to reference back to Louis CK here who addressed my fear head on that once your child starts eating solid foods it doesnt poo, it CRAPS!


(Go to 1:40 in if you want to skim right through)


And apparently even after you teach your kid to go to the bathroom, they are still not capable of wiping their own butt. So guess who gets to.....ME!

Seriously my mind was blown over this.

Other than this realization nothing really significant has happened on the baby front and thus why i have not written an update in awhile. We are officially 14 days away from gender determination which will be huge. And we have a few things left to get the baby like a swing, and i dont know really because to be honest....we have a crib, some diapers, a car seat, a stroller and i just kind of think the rest is details.

So ill try to post more random thoughts on baby stuff when it comes up but this should really take off after we have the baby.

Thanx for reading about poop

Ahhhhhgonnabewipingbuttsfortherestofmylife

$h!t$ getting real son.....or daughter

You know this entire last 6 months feels very surreal. Sometimes i have to take a breath and go "wow, ur married bro." And from the first day of us realizing Lindy is pregnant its been almost like a joke. I still remember i was handling my bidness in the bathroom came out and Lindy had handled some bigger bizness in the other bathroom as she was standing outside our bedroom door holding a positive pregnancy test stick. I realized what it was, but i had something to say so i say "yeah, yeah hold on a second" and i continued with my thought. Lindy was shocked and then it kinda kicked in and we did the whole "lets hug and be happy married people finding out they are pregnant thing"

At the time and really most of the time now it feels like were joking when we talking about there being a baby on the way and etc, but whenever we acquire a new piece of baby stuff it just gets more and more real. Or like sometimes ill be thinking about some bs and it will hit me like "hey dummy! In 5 and 1/2 months you're gonna have a baby in that crib:

Big thanx to Lindy's Mom and Dad for the crib

Or like when we told people a few months ago all we wanted for christmas was baby stuff off the registry and then last week when we got two UPS packages and opened em up and BOOM!!! Baby got more real:

Big thanx to my mom for these two nice gifts

And now today we got paid and had some extra money so we went out and got the mattress that was in the crib and this bad boy:

Every step of the way the reality of a baby on the way fades in and out for me. I guess its more real for Lindy cuz shes feeling it move and its always there but for me its not until moments like these where i go "OMG! There is a baby on the way!!!!" We both have come a long way in a short short short amount of time as a couple and as individuals and i think we will both be up to the challenges ahead. We are reading every baby raising book we get our hands on, were making a lot of smart financial decisions, and were doing little things like stocking up on diapers 6 months ahead of time and getting all the big ticket items done ahead of time.

Were both still slacking on the gym thing which we need to do to get in shape obviously but also because its supposed to make labor easier for Lindy and its supposed to be beneficial for the baby as well. But if that is our biggest worry at this point then id say we are off to a great start. 

January 6th is our gender determination date and it cant get here soon enough.

Adios for now

We're pregnant....

No literally we both are pregnant. Or it feels that way when i look in the mirror lately. See heres the thing, I LOVE food. I love it more than most people. Im convinced of this because when i take people to eat at places its always bomb, and when i go with people to their favorite places, its a coin flip. Most people just dont know what good food is, so they  obviously dont like it as much as i do. I like it all too, salty, sweet, ethnic, meat and potatoes, u name it, if its cooked well i like it.

Now throughout my life ive had some fluctuations with weight. Nothing too serious, ive always been a gym rat and when i went on these eating binges i always had the gym to keep me in check and then when i realized i was eating everything in sight i could slow down and lose the weight pretty quickly. I have pretty good self control most of the time. But ever since Lindy got pregnant and shes eating all this good tasting food i cant help it but to have some with her. The problem is, with our move and as hectic as everything has been, i havent had a gym membership......ok ok thats a cop out, i havent had a gym membership for like 6 weeks, i havent been to the gym for like 6 months because well, because i havent felt like damn going, and ive been too busy eating taco bell.

In the 6 months ive known Lindy i have gained 35 pounds.....35 POUNDS in 6 months. Do you know how long its going to take me to lose that back? JFC, if I keep up this pace then i will start to look like the movie character from this amazing and timeless classic

I always knew that i would be the husband that gained the "sympathy weight" with my wife. There was never any doubt in my mind because i love food so much. But this much? This quick? Its time to slow down. Within the next week its back to the gym for me and Lindy. She obviously wont be doing anything strenuous but from what ive read a little exercise while pregnant is very beneficial to Pat and supposed to make labor easier for Lindy. Not to mention make it a little more obvious which one of us is pregnant.

The one positive is, thank god its hoodie season!

Pat! You better be worth it you lil non gender determined fetus you!
