Anxiety
This has been one incredible week for my wife – my 14 year old started high school and now my 23 year old has entered the hospital this evening and will be induced tomorrow bringing into this world our first grandchild. I spent the week on the road, so I was immune to the anxiety and the tears of the events, but now that I’m home, I get to experience the stress right along with my wife. However, we’ll handle the waiting very differently!
She’s already telling me how she’s going to wait out the arrival tomorrow in the hospital waiting room. That would drive me nuts, so I’ll be at work, meeting with customers and team members all the way up till the time that she tells me to get my butt to the hospital. Then I’ll haul my butt down there and experience the joy of our newest family member without having to go through the anxiousness of the waiting process.
I look forward to posting a picture very soon of the newest life in this world! I’m very anxious to start the spoiling process, and also very excited to watch my daughter and her husband be the great parents that I know they are going to be!
PS. My 14 year old did indeed start high school, and her favorite class is teacher’s assistant in the elementary school, and she’s working on her certification for CPR to be a great baby sitter. She’s probably equally excited as we are!
