This post dates way back in March, below you will read some of the thoughts I had back then, as you read the text, it will transition to 5/2/09.

Hello friends and family,
As I sit here in bed and enjoy my last three days of Spring Break, I think of the things I accomplished and the things I did not this week. For instance:
Accomplished
The past weekend Norm (Calia's Dad) came to help me change two windows in the house. The windows look great and now I think I can change any window in the house. Also t
Not accomplished
I didn't finish, not even started, an assessment project I need to present at work by the end of the semester. I'll get to it this coming week.
...Every time I say to someone that Calia and I are having a baby, the first thing they say is: "Oh man, your life is going to change" ...well, I know that, but here is the thing, I don't like change, it's uncomfortable, and overwhelming. However, whatever the change is, I still do okay. ...I came to the US 9 years ago and that was a big change, today I am okay, I adapted.
When I go to Mexico, I adapt there. I can go to Mexico and return to the US or the other way around and I feel equally comfortable in both countries. ...well, I still complain a little bit about the american "life"; there is so much wealth in most places here that I just think is wrong. I know I need to change this way of thinking.
Having a baby in the house is going to be a big change too, but we will adapt.
Today is May 02, 2009 and I am at Baylor Hospital in Dallas, Texas. Calia is laying down in bed sleeping. I can hear a little heart bit through the speakers in the room, woom, woom, woom! Our daughter is about to be born, she has decided to come early and not May 14 as planned. I don't have a problem, let her come that I want to meet her.
This is a very very cool experience, I'm excited. I can only think of the following verse:
O LORD, you have searched me and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
You perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
You are familiar with all my ways. ...
...For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, Your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!
Salmo 139.
