Emotions

I’m really starting to “get in the mood” for being a father. If I compare myself with the person that I was 5 months ago (and the thoughts that were in my mind back then) I have changed a lot.
This morning we were at the midwife for Anna’s week 35 examination and all looks good so far.
she is experiencing the first test-contractions (as they call them) so it’s getting real now.

On the negative side, my grandmother died on saturday morning.
From what I heard, my mother is taking it “like a man” and talks about a redemption instead of death (granny was pretty dement in the end).
What I dislike is the fact, that I probably won’t be able to come over, as Anna’s birth can start now any moment. Plus: she can’t travel that long anymore.

i’m off to work now, hopefully that will get me to different ideas.

Patience

If you get up early on saturday morning and your wife asks you -still
asleep- to go and do the shopping in the morning to avoid queues, better
do it.

In my desire to have a peaceful saturday morning I stayed and had coffee
and slowly got up I am now standing (and blogging) in a queue in the
supermarket together with 1001 other people that probably thought just
like me :-)

patience is the key if you are too lazy to move your fat ass out of the
house.

we will go to some museum later with jesse, let’s see how much fun it is
to take him out in his baby-trike.

dreams…

Just found this picture on my harddrive..
As beautiful as it is, these guys did not return – it’s the last lauch of the Columbia.
Poor guys, they were pursuing a dream, knowing it could cost their life.

bleh, this rain makes me gloomy! :(

But.. a nice quote from Elf Sternberg just came to my mind:

“In their Mercury missons, the Americans realized that without gravity, ink does not flow to the tip of a pen. For Apollo, NASA spent over a million developing a pen that worked in space. Russia, when confronted with the same problem, had taken a pencil.”

No idea if this is true but it definitely made my day! :)

Thanks, Elf
