I’m a daddy! My wife went into labor shortly after the Super Bowl, and my son showed up roughly 18 hours later! He weighed in a plump 8lbs. 10ozs! Nice and healthy~ Mommy and Baby are doing great.

It’s been a lot of fun, but ectremely hectic and tiring. The little guy has been great, very quiet…but very hungry ( I wonder where that comes from?) My diet hasn’t been ideal over the past few days of exhaustion, but I’m not eating too much. I’ll get back on the wagon as soon as possible as my motivation just got stronger.

I will be updating my profile with a picture of Locke very shortly…but right now, I have to go prepare a bottle!

I’m beginning to think that my baby boy is waiting for Super Bowl Sunday to make his grand entrance into the world! I’m sitting on pins and needles waiting for the little guy to show, but the situation has actually helped my diet and workout program. I’ve been staying close to home, and have slowed down my work schedule to a crawl. It has given me plenty of time to get anxious while waiting, but the good news about being anxious is this; When I’m anxious, I exercise! And as an extra added bonus; When I’m anxious, the thought of eating makes me want to puke! Sounds great, doesn’t it?

Oh well…In any case, my diet has been clean, and my workouts have been getting easier. I weighed in on Feb 1st and I was down 15lbs from the beginning of the month. I’m aiming for another 12-13lbs in February, and I believe I can do it…Hell, I might hit my target weight before this baby decides to show up!
