They say a picture is worth a thousand words… well I’m going to use a thousand words to paint a picture…mental picture.
Silly due dates, tricks are for kids. We are now one day past the day that our baby was supposed to come out. I don’t blame the doctors. I blame technology. I told Mindi today that it would make it a little more convenient for me if she would just reach up there, grab the baby’s ear, and pull her out. If it really even is a girl, it’s hard to know that for sure the way technology has already lied to us about the day she was to be born. I had a dream the other night that we left our new baby in our room on the bed and when we came back in the dogs were walking on her, but she was beautiful and little.
I am in awe that this time of our life is here. Everyone keeps telling us that our life will never be the same. Almost like….sucker! lol Just kidding, it’s usually followed up with a nice, “but it’s all worth it”. The baby’s room is ready and so am I.
Mindi already has expressed this, but I would like to add my gratitude for everything our friends and family have done for us. We have felt overwhelmingly blessed with all of the support and generosity from all of you and we thank you very much. Brooke, Mindi’s friend, I would like to particularly thank you for the Broncos cooler bag. I don’t know if it’s impolite to express favorite gifts, so I’m not going to be so blunt, but I really liked yours! Mindi and I speak often of all we have and all we are blessed with. Our family and friends are a giant part of that. We love you all, and we’ll keep you posted with our posts.
P.S. Tonight, I am making Mindi a 65 oz Gatorade with cayenne pepper, after which we will go on a 5 mile jog, followed by 5 minutes of passion, possibly longer! Hopefully, that will get the week started off on the right “baby’s”foot!

Danny and Mindi,
Hey you guys! It's Jodi! I have to admit that I've been popping in on your cute blog every now and again to see if your little baby girl is here yet! I saw your link on Jamie's blog. I've been very excited for you guys!!! We had our little buddy in January and it is just so much fun! Don't let it scare you when people say that life is never the same. It's true, but it's in such a good way. I hope that everything goes perfect with your labor, Mindi and I can't wait to see pictures of your beautiful little girl. What an amazing time for you both. Good luck with everything.
