From 3rd to 21st!

Ahh the joy of NASCAR. O.k. wait I know some people don't understand/like the beauty that is stock car racing. I tend to find the sport very entertaining and vital to the core that is this great nation. Well Sunday at Bristol Motor Speedway we had a short track race, my friends. The track is obviously tighter and the speeds aren't as quick. Why is this significant - you cool guy - you might ask. The drivers bump the every living fenders off the other cars!! Its awesome the cars at the end of the race look like demolition derby cars. The best part of Sunday was lil Jeffy Gordan was cruising along in third on the final lap and got "bumped" from behind, spun out, and finished 21st!! So the guy that bumped him decides to go over after the race and apoligize. Well Gordan gets out of his car (leaving his helmet on) and shoves Kenseth. Apparently protecting his Hollywood looks and his precious voice box. Its not racing til you hear Gordan after a win hollar woooohh like a 14 year old school girl. Ahhh the joy of NASCAR!

Its about her, not me

I'm telling ya what, I'm about tired of all this attention. I'm feeling fine people - in fact I'm doing really well. Everyone is so concerned about how I feel and not how my wife feels. Shes the one that had the child. I know, I know I'm the one that suffers through the occassional waking up as shes getting up to feed. I also suffer from the changing of the one diaper a day that I do. I'm really o.k. though, I think I am starting to get a handle on this crazy time.
Obviously I'm kidding, Kelly is doing awesome! Its amazing to me how she cares for Owen. I love the boy to death but hes really not doing much. It sounds bad but its hard to bond with him when hes sleeping and eating all the time. Not my wife though, she just watches him sleep, holds him and you can see the love in her eyes. It has to be the fact that she carried the lil thing for nine months. I don't know, all I do know is shes an amazing mother to my boys. Shes being so patient with Alec and Evan. She involves them in picking out outfits for Owen, and lets them hold him. One person in the house distracting me throws me all off. She does a great job with our ever changing household.
Well enough cute and positive stuff.
The NCAA tourney is killing me. West Virginia was my dark horse and UT's last second shot crushed me last night! Then Duke lost was fine but it destroyed my bracket further. I guess thats why I don't ever gamble - I can't even win in a non monetary bracket.

Don't worry

Things are going well my brothers from another mother! Owen is a sleeper and eater only, the boys are being awesome around him and behaving brilliantly and Kelly is getting her rest. We had a family meeting last night and the boys are all on board. I love family meetings the boys take it seriously and its fun resetting the rules and seeing how they respond. We have started reading them a chapter from the Bible a night and they love it. Well Alec loves it and Evan seems pretty interested too. I honestly have no clue how people do this with all three or two kids out of school. No Way! Its awesome for Kelly that her three oldest boys are out of the house by nine I'm sure her and OW party like rock stars - well at least get their rest. You folks with two or three kids in the house all the time are my heroes. Jeffy would die! Things are really going well and lets hope it continues.

UPDATE:
Please don't worry, things are going well for me. Its been a rough transition from the hospital to the house but I think things are going o.k. I'm getting my sleep - I think Kelly gets up during the night - something about feeding the baby but I sleep pretty well. I'm surprised at the lack of pain - I thought sitting in the hospital chairs for 10-12 hours would hurt my back but I seem o.k. I just would like to thank my friends who had me in their hearts -I think things will be o.k. I have to go now - I think the baby's crying so I need to go remind Kelly to take care of that!

Here we go!

Well we are officially a family of five. Different very different. I won't go on and on about me son. I'm positive me talking or not talking about him will validate my love or proves my lack of love for Owen. I love him but I'm also smart enough to understand alot of you have children and know that its an awesome feeling and yet a feeling hard to describe. Kel is feeling well and other than my little schedule being totally disrupted its Disneyland around here.
I am reading the book Why my wife thinks I'm an idiot..The life and times of a Sportscaster Dad. Its by Mike Greenberg one of the hosts of Mike and Mike in the morning on ESPN radio. The number one sports talk show on the radio. Mike is also an anchor of Sportscenter. He is a Metrosexual, upper class raised, father of two, and hubby of a business women wife. His partner is an ex football player Mike Golic. Its brillant radio and the radio cast is also shown on ESPN 2 from 5am til 9am. With TIVO I walk in every morning from working out and turn it on then pause it. I get the guys their breakfast and help Kel get them ready then come back and play from where I paused - brillance! Anyway back to the book. Its basically his journal entries from the last 5 years with going through two kids being born and all the changes that brings about. I can so identify with what he says it really strikes me as funny. As you can tell by the title his premise is basically that every wife on some level thinks of their hubbys as idiots. I personally am o.k. with this. I believe my wife respects me on some level but I also understand when I call her from the airport telling her to tape a sports show and get home and she forgot (because she was pregnant and taking care of two boys) and I act like she slapped me in the face when she tells me she forgot...I'm an idiot. Perhaps when I spend four hours (watching football) at home while shes running errands and the house looks like a hurricane hit ... I could be considered an idiot. How about when I come home from work an my wife tells me shes not feeling well and before she has a chance to finish the sentence I ask her "whats for dinner" ... maybe an idiot. The best was two minutes ago as she is nursing and I'm blogging, the phone rings and I tell her its her mom (sa ing it like "its not for me") .... could be an idiot. The book just makes me laugh.
I will continue to read it and hopefully get up and check on my wife and new born every once in a while the rest of the afternoon. I hope Kelly starts supper soon!

Owen William Trimble

I just got home about an hour ago. My wife is awesome...thats all I have to say!
We started this great day at 4:00a.m. - ouch. Kelly will give you all the details but we had Owen at 1:01p.m today and he's awesome! Laiddd back - the boy doesn't cry or, for that matter, cause a scene. He is 6 pounds and 12 ounces - 20 odd inches long. Our little baby boy! Has no problem with feeding and really likes to sleep and relax. He doesn't fuss much - ohhh I know - "just wait" but I'm telling you he has done really well compared to our other two so far. I have to say this... Thank You - for all your prayers, I wanted to thank you all in this but I'm dead - no trust me - my wife has done a ton more and I know shes really tired but I do feel a little drained - are guys allowed to have that said? Sorry but I am. Kelly is healthy and beautiful, Owen is awesome and I appreciate everyone today. I really do. I came home at 9:30pm tonight and Chris Deges had cooked enough meat and food for three to four days for my family. I can't tell you how much I love my wife but I love her more because she has great friends who care and as her hubby I thank you all today. She gets home tomorrow at 1:00pm so she will be on the computer at 1:05p.m. with pics on her blog and a complete blow by blow of today.
