The Surreal Life
I’ve been feeling rather grown-up lately. I am sure it has something to do with buying a house and having a baby. Last week we found out that little bump is a little boy. This week we filled out paperwork for living will, power of attorney, etc. I am not sure I was really ready for all of it.
Most of the questions were pretty easy. As a married couple, if something happened to me, everything would go to Heidi and vice versa. I was not prepared for the lawyer to ask who should get the baby if something were to happen to both Heidi and me. Shouldn’t there been an application process to this? What’s the proper criteria?
I have since been obsessed with asking everyone if they ever discussed this with their parents, when they were growing up.
I don’t remember it, but when I was a kid, my mom left me with one of her best friends, when went out of the country for a few days. Apparently they agreed that if something happened, Rinda was to raise both my sister and me. They still talk about this today.
As I got older, I always thought that if it really came down to it, my Aunt Brice would probably raise us.
I never really thought about having these kinds of thoughts and conversations about my own kids.

I think legally the baby goes to JJ, no?

That sucks. It just ate my whole long comment.
So in place of writing it again, I’ll just say congrats on the boy!! They’re fun, especially in times like today when Trey was sticking his hand down his diaper in Gap yelling, “Pee-pee, pee-pee!”
