Now i understand

First time blogging for me. I didn't understand why people would spend time blogging or why anyone would read someone else's blog. Well, now i get it.

Now i understand why parents are so proud. Now i understand what unconditional love is. Now i see the world through a whole new set of eyes. Now i am excited for my friends who have kids. Now i know why they acted like their kid was the most exciting thing on earth.

So, i have to apologize to all those parents when i didn't get all giddy when you were talking about your kids. I promise next time i will.

I will admit that, at first, i was pulling for a boy. All guys do, i suppose. Now it is different. We are bringing the first girl to be born into the Newman family in who knows how long. We are bringing the first grand daughter to my parents. Sorry, Angel. Anyway, you got to bring the first grandchildren. All that aside, she is unique to me for some reason. Now we can refer to the baby as "she", and that is exciting to me. I can't put it into words, but i am so happy that we are having a girl. Not the reaction that i expected from myself. Now, i wonder why i wasn't pulling for a girl the whole time.

Well, enough for now. I know you can only take so much when reading about someone else's kid. Just thought i would share some thoughts that are so new to me. It is inspiring. My next entry will probably be a song or a poem or a drawing or a picture or a plan for world peace. Now i have the motivation and i know all you parents out there understand what i mean.
