OK, we had our first ultrasound on Wednesday April 14th. We were very exited and anxious to see our baby for the first time. The moment when we could actually see the shape and see the heart beating was really a great moment. It confirms the reality of the situation....... WE ARE REALLY PREGNANT....but it also pushes the excitement and anticipation to another level.
I am not a patient person and have never really given it a lot of thought until we became pregnant................but this 9 month thing really blows! (I know you are out there thinking well see how you feel when you go days without sleep and have changed your fair share of diapers) I think in my case this must be to teach me patience. So that I can learn when it comes to children I will need to be more patient. Whatever the reason for this 9 months (and I know it will fly by) I cant wait until the day comes. Sonya keeps saying we need the time to get all these things done (she has a list.....a big list...no really its a big list)............but I disagree I am ready today...........right now. I guess no matter how I feel about this or how exited I am that I will still have wait till November and might as well accept it. But as I said earlier it blows because I am ready today!!!
So to finish up we had our first appointment and got to see our baby (I have a video to prove it) and everything is moving along as it should be (however it is moving along too slow!!) so that is good. We go back on the 24th of May and then we will also go back on the 20th week (approx. July 10th) and have another ultrasound and hopefully determine the sex of the baby. I would like for it to be a boy (of course) but I will take whatever god sees fit to give us. I want a healthy baby and that is the main thing.

The First Blog
I am new to this so don't be to hard on me.......................I am not a writer! I wanted to start this to try and keep a journal of what is going on. Ordinarily this wouldn't be my thing (the blog thing or the journal thing) but my wife and I have recently found out that we are pregnant and I have decided to do this so I can have something to track our journey over the next several months and maybe share with family and friends along the way what is going on.
I am married to the most wonderful woman in the world. I love her very much and am exited about having our first child. I couldn't imagine my life without her (she is my world). Did I mention I was exited about having our first child!! We are only at 8 weeks pregnant but I cant stop being amazed by the fact that we are actually pregnant and what that really means. I keep thinking about all the times I heard people say how much it changes your life and what a joy it will be.....................and while we are still several months away from meeting our child I am overwhelmed with excitement and joy.
I cant help but have thoughts about my grandad and what an impact he had on my life growing up........and only hope that I can be half the dad that he was. He was a big influence in my life and my best friend. I miss him every day.
Of course the normal worries about being a parent have already surfaced (finances, how we will be as parents etc...), but nothing has been overwhelming yet. There are a lot of changes going on at work and we will probably have to move for my job within the next 12 months or so. Hopefully there will be an opportunity to move closer to family. Whatever opportunities come along we will make those decisions as they come..............for now we are just exited and looking forward to the day we will be able to hold our baby!! I know that regardless of all the details and worries that may come this baby will be loved. Between Sonya and I, family and friends,...... that is the one thing I can be sure of.
