A vital lesson for all dads and all dads to be: Any (and I mean any) interest, attention, excitement or dialogue towards baby earns some massive points from mom.
Seriously, this blog is like the best thing ever. I could be a jackass for the rest of the year and still live off of the points this blog has earned me. To the point where she is now posting on the blog. I have to tell her “go get your own blog”
Flashback moment: when I created the blog I overheard her on the phone telling someone about it. She was about to tell them the web address and I hung around cause I was sure she would get it wrong and I would need to correct her. Sure enough she got it right to my surprise. See, I have my other blog for over a year and she doesn’t know the address nor even read one post. She doesn’t even know the name of the blog! But, one entry on the baby blog and you are in the money. For life!
So repeat after me: Any interest, attention, excitement or dialogue towards baby earns some massive points from mom.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

So ok Mario. If I were a guy it would definitely hit home on how many points I would get if I mentioned baby. I might even be inclined to do a blog of my own.
This entry is the funniest ever in my opinion I had to log back on today to read it again. It made me wonder what the list of rewards were and was tempted to ask her which one of said list you reaped the day prior to u writing this blog. But I won't go there.. Anyways.
And maybe u are right about the jerk part. I can picture myself and Nikki in conversation...
Stacy: Nikki, that was aweful of Mario.I can't believe he did that
Nikki: he did do a blog for my whole pregnancy though-that was nice
Stacy: But Nikki he was really a jerk
Nikki:Yea, but the blog....
Hey Mario, It's Ashley. I am so excited for you two. I just saw the pictures today. I am glad that Nikki is still slim with just a big belly. It looks nice on her though. Did you guys decide on Nicholas because of Nicole's name? I hope I get to see the baby before I leave the country. Again, I am so happy for the both of you and will be praying for you all. Take Care
Ashley
When I learned that the baby’s first name would be Nicholas, I thought this to be really emblematic, as this was also the maiden name of mother. I have been asked to include this name on just about every credit application I have made in this county. This means that from time to time when making an enquiry about my account, I have been asked to state my mother’s maiden name before any information is given to me. Very recently at work, I was setting up an online account, which would enable me to make withholding tax payments for the company to the State of Pennsylvania, and had to include the name Nicholas on the account.
Constantly I am using the name Nicholas. Obviously, when this baby arrives, I will be using the name even more. Naturally I am trilled that he is going to be named Nicholas. It is reasonable to say that the baby is not being named only after his mother, but also after his great grandmother.
