A nice full life ... man there is always something to learn...

Well...I just noticed that my last post was...A.V.A.'s birthday...the day she was born. That day I was complaining about all I watched April go through in giving birth. She finally ended up giving birth, that nite @ 10:45 pm...and I watched the entire process. The entire process from start to beginning of a woman giving birth without almost any drugs. Not sure if you can count the 1mg of pain med she took, and I also saw the nurse ask her in the middle of it all...when the contractions were spiking...if she wanted more...and like the trooper she is ... she said 'No' .... it was very, very impressive. So A.V.A. is here. She is adorable. She has raised her head, smiled at me (beyond gas I believe) ... and has consumed our sleep, and our hearts. I am doing the Daddy Daycare thing right now. I spend every day with her while April is at work. It is a great, unique opportunity that every man should experience. You will learn so much about yourself, and about your child. It is also difficult because you are forced to live your own perspectives. I say that regarding my perspective of America having succumb to the greed of it all by having both parents out of the house, with no one at home. I am staying at home right now to provide that support a point I believe that is important. It is important to have someone available to raise the child, one of the parents preferably. If you are not raising your child the question goes to who is? I am learning so many different things from her and April about children. It is a great and draining experience. I am missing my life handbook ... this is the chapter ,that everyone should dog-ear.
