I feel that dedicating a blog for her alone only seems fitting.

My child has a heart disease and we are going to get rushed to Columbia hospital in NYC to deterine how severe it is. Best case is surgery, worst case is dea…. Let’s bot talk about that.

What changes? I will be looking to get a second job. Anyone hiring? It is very possible that I will have to move to NYC to be closer to the hospital.

The worst case? My wife will have to carry the child to full term knowing the child will die. This is very unlikely but it was also unlikely that my child would have this issue in the first place.

With me luck, say a prayer, do whatever it takes to with my child well……

I figured there was no way that this said what I thought it said. In the subject line for Buy.com Deals, it reads as follows:

2-Pk Hi-Fi Earphones = $10, Trojans = $10, Intel Dual-Core Notebook = $399.99,..

I was like, hmmm Trojans? That must be some kind of computer term or something…so I open up the email and read the following…

It appears that they are truly condoms. What is the world coming to when my computer and electronics websites starts to try to solicit condoms onto me? Where were these great condom deals back in January when my wife got pregnant?!?!!

(NOTE: my wife and I planned this pregnancy…)

Of course, my wife went out shopping and bought a shitload of clothes for the child.  The only thing I was disappointed about was the fact that she bought clothes for 6-12 months and nothing for 0-6.  Is the child going to be naked for the first 6 months?  Well lets put my wife’s issues aside and all breathe easy that my child is not an alien! Or a zombie!  Or a sheep!  I am always worried about those sheep!
