So...

Sarah and I are gonna have a baby!

We found out a few weeks ago, but were waiting till we went to the doc to make sure everything was okay with the pregnancy. The doc said everything looked great, so we decided to go ahead and start telling people. Yeah! (that's how i roll)

Oh em gee, things have been crazy since then. I'm laying in bed right now next to my beautiful, sleeping wife. She is so exhausted all the time, not to mention sick all the time as well. I was not prepared how much she would change over the course of like one week. It's very hard, but so worth all the effort of doing things to try and make her happy and comfortable. Err, I sometime mess up though. Sometimes I forget that she's going through all the changes, emotionally and physically, and that I need to give her a break. I'm trying, though.

I picked up the book, "The Expectant Father," and am reading it, knowing very well that I'm gonna have to live through it to understand fully what is going on. Sarah and I have created life! Praise God for the miracle of child-birth! It's really insane and I'm thankful for all of the support and encouragement of our family and friends. So many things are about to change for the better. I can't wait to be a dad. Please pray for Sarah and I as we begin this new chapter in our life. It's unknown territory for us (obviously) and we would love any advice or tips those of you who have been through this could give us.

In the mean time, I will be blogging more regularly (don't hold me to it, but I'm gonna try =/) about the whole process...the joyous times and the frustrating times. I would love for my son or daughter to read this later in life and see how we were preparing for him or her to enter the world. Until then, here's to hoping the writer's strike is over soon and that sarah's nausea is over sooner.
