"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government
shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace."
~Isaiah 9:6~
So I am just pretentious enough to use that quote.. My wife April is pregnant, which came as a shock to us but now into week two of knowing we're kind of excited, okay rather excited is probably a bit more fair. Further, though it was an accident.. surprise.. it is not something I would call a mistake, rather it's something I would call a gift of the divine.
No our child is not going to be the second coming of the Messiah, but I do intend on instilling in our child the value of government and politics, the love for philosophy which makes good counselors, and adoration for humanity which makes for a love of peace, and an acceptance for all people which will make for a better person then I am. I also look forward to sharing good music, books, and yes some television with our child. And also as I am a gamer I can't wait to make D&D adventures or other type of gaming adventures for the sprog.
Par Scottish tradition the wife and I plan on giving the sprog a war axe as a birthing present, I am very excited that she agreed to that. We have been going through names, I'm hoping to pick something from our ancestors nationalities as well as something that just sounds nice and has a good meaning to it. Though Emmanuel does have a good ring to it ;)
