So Much Fun We Had A Baby...

Andrea Mills - 7 Months Pregnant on Hilton Head IslandToday started like any other day at Hilton Head. Woke up. Put swim suits on. Went to the beach. Had a baby...

What?

Had a baby?

Ok, that never happened before.

It was about 5pm and we were getting ready to go to a nice dinner for our last night of vacation and Andrea started to have some pain. So she called her doctor in Indiana. Well her doctor told her everything was probably fine, but to swing by the hospital to confirm.

Asher James Mills - 1st Photo - May 16, 2008 - Hilton Head, SCTwo hours in the hospital and it is confirmed: she's having the baby tonight. A whole two months early!!!

I take a screaming Jadyn (who wants her mommy) home and put her to bed, we read Little Mermaid. And now I am scrounging around, trying to get everything ready for the show tomorrow night, a show I probably won't be at.

But it's weird, ya know. I always thought the first person I would drive to the hospital to have a baby would be my wife, or at least my own child.

But in a unique way I feel like it is partly my child. Just four days earlier, while standing on the beach, CJ turned to me and said, "you want to be the first to know what the name of the child is? Asher James. Andrea doesn't even know that I have picked it yet." Who knew, four days later, and two months early, he would be here.

Andrea is most likely going to be moved to Charleston, SC tomorrow, and her and Asher are going to have to be there for three weeks. I am trying to convince them to move her to Savannah instead because the access is so much easier for everybody up north (and me in Atlanta). But we'll see.

That's about it from here. I have done a lot of stuff with my 20 years at Hilton Head. But having a baby is definitely a first.

So you get to play part time daddy without of the fun that the act of "babymaking" entails. That sucks.

CJ turned to me and said, "you want to be the first to know what the name of the child is? Asher James. Andrea doesn't even know that I have picked it yet."


Seems Andrea picked an old-fashioned Christian husband. You know the one that makes all the decisions and keeps her pregnant, barefoot and in kitchen (presumably making pork chops, but who cares about Leviticus except when it mentions the gays, right?)

You're telling me!

Ohh LC. It just wouldn't be your comment with out some jab at Christianity. For the record, Andrea picked the girls name (Jadyn), and CJ picked the boys name (Asher).

We'll have the gay pork-chop discussion some other time ;)

LC- I picked out the name Asher James along with a couple of other names, but Asher was my favorite. CJ had the final say and was holding off telling me what his favorite was just to be annoying. :-)

Andy- what the heck? I told you that was my favorite name before CJ told you he agreed with it. :-)

Yes, BUT CJ told me he confirmed that was going to be his name, and as you said, it was his call. Trust me, we all know who makes the decisions in the Mills house ;)
