So, here we are, Fall semester done with (3.85 average since I started again), and our baby is due any day now!!!

I decided to load up on flex courses (half semester online courses) and 1 in class course for the spring. Not sure how hard it'll be acclimating to our baby, but I figure the easiest way to get done with 16 hours in 1 semester is taking only 10 at a time. I also used rate my professor and made sure I would be getting those A's! At first I felt bad about that, then I realized that I am retaking 2 classes I got A's in already, but will be omitted due to the Fresh Start program, and retaking a Bio class I got a IP in because my grandfather passed away, and I was the only male in the family and him being a veteran, and me being in the military at the time, had to be there to accept his flag.

More than anything though, I am really looking forward to the upcoming sleepless nights!! I just want my little Ian in my arms asap. I guess it helps that I work nights, and my wife is going to be a stay at home mom for 3 months.

Just wanted to share!!

Congrats! My wife had both of my kids while I was in undergrad. Challenging but extremely rewarding! Good luck to you and your family.
