iWish

The company I work for is testing out iPads to possibly replace laptops and I was one of the lucky few chosen to be part of the pilot program. Being the responsible expectant father, one of the first things I did when I got the iPad was look up baby/parenting apps (gotta step my game up if I’m going to keep rockin the Pappa Rob alias).

And while iBaby, Hot Potato and Kicker Counter are all cool names, I think if poor Mamma G got her way, she'd create an app called iWish, as in, I wish this kid would be born already, I wish I could get through the day without some doucher at work making an insensitive comment and I wish I could sleep through the night without reliving every single dramatic scene from the Alien Trilogy.

So on that note, Squishy, I wish (and hope) that you know how lucky you are to have a tough mom that continues to work til the day you arrive, so we can have plenty of money for diapers, food and other essentials (including a tree of knowledge mural in your nursery). Lugging your butt around has been no small task and while I’ve done what I can to make her comfortable and minimize the pain, let’s face it, you wouldn’t be joining our Wolfpack if it wasn’t for Momma G and her tireless efforts.

So when you finally decide to grace us with your presence (hopefully sooner than later), don’t forget, behind that beautiful face is a woman capable of amazing things.
