Well, Emmy went to the doctor's, she's dialated to a 2. Doctor said the baby can come any day, especially since he has no room to go cause of how small Emmy is. Emmy had a pretty lousy weekend- not feeling well and just being very uncomfortable, so it helped to hear that she's up to a 2. There really is no more room for the baby to grow, he's right up to the surface, I'm already playing with him- got him all excited for the San Diego State game the other day. AWESOME game by the way! The doctor also said they want to induce Emmy the 10th or 11th if the baby hasn't come yet. 11th is nice because it's a Friday...and his daddy also came on a Friday. But the 10th would be better so I don't miss a BYU basketball game...me and the baby would be off to a bad start if he makes me miss a game. I may have to punish him if that happened, a timeout or stand in the corner or something.

Ramblings of a soon-to-be Dadda

Well in a few weeks I'll be a dad. The last few months have gone by really fast actually. I don't quite know what to think about everything. It's all happening so fast, and yet nothing has really happened at the same time. Baby is coming, I'm going to be a daddy, ready or not here he comes. I know many people that read this blog are already parents and so you all have felt the same feelings that I'm having...anxious, excited, nervous, scared, and a whole lot of other emotions and feelings that can't be described. I'm excited to have a son who I can watch as he goes through similar experiences that I had. It's anxious to have a baby around- someone that me and Emmy created together who has attributes of us both. It's amazing how there's not a cap to the amount of love you can have for people. Of course I loved my family growing up and continue to love them, then Emmy came along and I had more love for someone than I thought I could have. And now baby is coming. In those quiet moments where I think about him and wanting to be the best dad I can be to him, I always tear up a as I think about how much I already love him*** and how he'll come out loving me so much. I won't have to convince him to love me, it's just natural, the way I naturally love my parents. Nervous because I'm responsible for his survival, safety, and well-being. Scared because BAM, tons of responsibility on ya. When I got married I was hit with responsibility but ask anyone I'm still the goofy kid I always was. Things change when you have a kid, you are responsible for teaching him the Gospel, you have to be an example 24/7. I don't know if being goofy will get the job done. So you know, some things will probably change...and they probably should. Some things will stay the same obviously. Anyway, I hope this kid knows he's causing some weird blog posts. If you don't like this blog feel free to email him. We set up an email address for him and someday we'll give it to him. If you want to email him- either send me an email or leave a comment and I'll forward it on to him.

***All bets could be off once the diapers and cryin happen, j/k.

Follow-up to my Saturday, September 9, 2006 blog post

Yeah, Lady in the Water is still terrible. Emmy found the movie at Provo Library. Neither of us was crazy about watching it, but eh, why not give it another chance, ya know. Well, we watched it and it's just lousy. I guess there might be people out there who like it, maybe even people that read this blog, so maybe I should tone it down a bit. But I'm sorry, it's just so lame!

Jimmer Fredette - Court Intruder

Friends and family often ask me what's going on in Provo.

One word...Jimmermania

Haha, it was a fun day on Cougarboard. A BYU student wrote a letter to the editor about how there's too much Jimmermania. Man Cougarboard let her have it...but in a good way. Most of the responses were just funny statements about Jimmer, not mean things to her. Overnight people swarmed her facebook profile. I got to it a little late, I think I was the 600th person to post. Anyway, I hope that she thinks it's funny, takes it in stride, and comes to a basketball game with a Jimmer jersey or something. What's crazy is how this has made national news. Some of the comments are a little sacrilegious which I don't like, but some are just downright hilarious!

Here's the link to her facebook wall:

Here are the national stories about it:

• "jimmerboard.net because he never hits rim."

Someday 9th East will be named after Jimmer. Students living east of the street will be out of luck because nobody crosses jimmer and lives
