Life's a Journey....
Excited. Paranoid. Terrified. Overjoyed. Blessed. Anxious. Numb. Are there any emotions that I'm NOT feeling right now?
So, in an awesomely insane turn of events, Kara and I found out last week (November 17th) that she is pregnant. Holy CRAP. We were officially "trying", but our little one certainly didn't waste any time. The second month we tried we were pregnant. That is definitely a blessing, but I mean I really just thought it would take a bit longer than that.
Most who know me know that writing down my thoughts is one way that I keep my sanity. And if I ever needed sanity, its right now! My goal is to write down a few thoughts each week to help us remember this crazy journey together so that when we look back in 15 years, we can laugh about how much we worried, panicked, and debated over which insanely overpriced car seat would be best. Right now, I'm thinking I will keep this a blog a secret until the baby comes, and give it as a gift to Kara. As our baby grows up, we can transform the blog into our family blog and use it to help remember our life as it's literally flying by our eyes.
So, this is the start of our family blog. I really have no idea what to expect - for the kid or the blog. I know nothing about kids, or babies, or being a father, but I do know this. I couldn't imagine anyone I'd want to be by my side besides her. Kara is my rock, my best friend, and she will not only be the best mother ever, she will be good enough to make up for me being an idiot half the time.
Of course, there's always a chance that I delete this blog in a week. But either way, it helped me through today. :) Phew. Fatherhood, here I come.
