Ok, so Angie mentioned (again) that it’s been a while since I posted, and this was my great idea. I’d like to point out a couple things from that previous statement… first that it was a “great idea” and second, that I have obviously not learned, since I am making my pregnant wife repeat herself.
For a day that started out crappy, it sure had a high point. I woke up this morning feeling like doodoo… and decided it would be best for me to work from home. Not sure what I have, but I didn’t feel like facing people, and more importantly I didn’t want to get people sick who are working hard on a project I have going. So that was my morning…
But Angie and I had a doctors appointment today and today we got to hear the heart beat! It was amazing. I’m sure it also comforts her to know that we are this far and everything seems to be on track. For me, it makes it that much more real, since other than the changes I see in Angie, it hasn’t really affected me yet.
Today was definitely cool. I called the house and left a message with the sound on it. It’s no the best, but I’m sure Kylie will be excited to hear it too. We are in the 10th week, and the baby is about 2 inches long right now, with its head being 1/2 of that. Hair folicles are starting to form, as are the nail beds and the baby is starting to stretch and roll around… It’s just amazing how fast things happen. We have a lot to do to get ready, and at some point we are going to have to start thinking of names.
After all that excitement, I stayed home from Bible study tonight so I could get some work done. Need to help balance out the day… can’t have too much fun.
You just think things are happening fast! Turn around & they are teenagers, look again and you are going to be a Grandpa.
How sweet! John, I just want to say that we have been tight since I was born! (yes, that WOULD make you older than me, wouldn’t it?!?!) :-) We grew up together… Ups and downs… Good ideas and bad ideas… this is one side of you that i would have never imagined! You are going to be a great dad! Let the journey begin!!!
Love you both,
