That’s right, dude! You obviously know by now, but we just found out a few weeks back. You are going to be our first boy!
Ok first things first, let’s talk about right here and now as I write this. As I write this I am sitting in my office at Balihoo in Boise, ID. I am the VP of Product Management (one of 4 execs in the company), responsible for our software strategy. It is October 7th, 2016, I am typing on a MacBook Air (2013 version I think). In the background the Rangers vs Blue Jays game is on (Jays up 5-1 in the 8th) and I am listening to Coldplay. It feels weird typing this right now because it seems so un-interesting, but when you turn 18 and read this I think it might be different.
Your mom stays at home with your sister, and is very much into Facebook and Instagram (she will kill me if she knew I said this). She is much larger this time around, weighing in at a whopping 167 pounds currently. You are rocking around in her all the time.
Regarding other items in life right now, there is a lot to catch you up on. I am 32 years old, your mom is 29. You also have a 2 year 7 month old sister name Harper (she will be like 21 when you read this). Regardless of what she is like when you read this, right now she is the sweetest, cutest and most docile child alive. She is beautiful, and so much fun. I drive a 2003 Toyota 4runner and your mom rocks a 2013 Mercedes ML350. We have a dog names Layla who is turning 4 on the 29th of this month.
Right now your mom is 8 months pregnant with you, and you are due on November 10th. As I mentioned we found out you are a boy, but we still have not decided on a name. We have to down to a couple (Ethan and Wyatt). I am going to go on record (although this is dangerous) and say that I am pushing hard for Ethan. I love that name.
We are in the process of preparing for your arrival, ordering items on Amazon nearly everyday.
I will keep this one short and get you the long one when you get here. All I can say is that I am excited, more than you know. I cannot wait to do things together as father and son as you grow up, and I hope we have the same relationship that I have with my dad and he had with his. It is weird to say this, but I love you already and cannot imagine not having you in my life. And if you ever doubt my excitement just watch the video below of your sister opening the envelope telling us that you are a boy.
Love you more than you will ever know,
Love, Dad
