February2, 1985, Grandma Beth and I were blessed with our first child, Jessica (your mommy). One of my fondest memories I have from a dad's perspective of a newborn is special. The rocking chair that I use to sit in and rock Jessica to sleep while trying to sing or hum a traditional lullaby or anything soothing. We had one of those wicker rockers. It was fairly comfortable and really did the trick when mommy got fussy or needed help falling asleep.
Today grandma and I went to pick up the rocker that would give mom and dad some of those same precious memories that I still carry in the back of my mind. We found a very comfortable ottoman rocker at Walmart. It has a footstool and is padded for long hours. It looks very comfy so we are hoping mom and dad don't fall into a deep deep sleep while rocking you.. :)
We are planning on a road trip in the next week or so to see your room again and the many things that we hear are being given to you by Dad's family. We are excited that things are falling into place for you to have an exciting home when you arrive. Dad can put it together. It is still in the box. He needs to get use to putting things together. That's part of being a dad and having tools etc etc etc. I'm sure he doesn't mind.
