It's Almost Time!!!!!!

I can't believe that we are only 4 days away from the birth of our daughter. It seems like only yesterday that I was sitting in the recliner in our apartment watching The Office and Laura came out of the bathroom and all she said was "It's positive". I looked at her, not comprehending what she was saying. Then like a light bulb, it clicked! We're having a baby!!! I had such excitement and joy in my heart, knowing that God was going to bless us with one of the greatest gifts, a child. Boy or girl, I didn't care, this was our child. I will love them no matter what. Then, probably 3 or 4 days later it started to sink in. Then I became overwhelmed with the thoughts of "Am I ready to be a dad?", "Are we ready to be parents?", and all the other thoughts that first time parents have.

As I have watched Laura progress through the pregnancy, I am in awe of how wonderful God is in allowing us to help give life to another human being. It has also been made more real to me exactly how wonderfully blessed Laura and I are with two really awesome families!! I would be hard pressed to find a couple who felt more support and love than, we do. And on top of that we have an awesome church family as well!!

This blog has helped me learn so much each week in this pregnancy. It has helped me understand what Laura is going through and how I can help her. It has also let me know what Anna has been doing. From the time she was conceived up to the time she started learning how to kick her mommy's ribs!! :)

I'm sure a lot of first time dad's say this but I think I am one of the most excited soon-to-be dad's in the world. All my mind can think about is the first time I lay my eyes on our sweet little Anna Marie. Daddy can't wait to meet you baby!!! We love you!!
