It's Official

I guess posting to FaceBook made it official (or something. That's kind of sad to say that. lol) The rumors are true though - Monica is pregnant, and we're going to have our first child sometime around the end of this year/early next year, if all goes well! This will truly be a miracle baby, because the doctors have told Monica for years that there was basically a one in a million chance that she'd ever get pregnant. But I guess we beat the odds (and it only took 7+ years! lol)

Please keep us in your prayers, because there's no telling how this pregnancy will go. We're just thankful for the chance to be parents-to-be. :) With a little luck, and a lot of prayer, this little Sea Monkey will spend the next 8 or 9 months growing into a strong, healthy little baby.

We're both leaning towards it being a girl, even though Monica's only about 10 weeks pregnant (according to the doctor yesterday), and she doesn't go for her ultrasound until Thursday. It's still too early for them to tell (I believe, but I'm new to this stuff, so who knows), but we think that it will be a little girl (or twins or something. lol)

I've been 100% correct so far in predicting the sex of every baby that's been born to a family member or friend, so we'll see how well I do when it's mine. It's still a bit early to say for sure, but it "feels" like a girl. We'll have to wait and see though. :)

Anyway, I have set up a new blog (yes, ANOTHER one) to track my journey towards first time fatherhood, and to chart Monica's progress throughout the pregnancy. It's still fairly rudimentary at the moment, but nothing much has happened yet, so there's not much to add. As we get sonogram pictures, more detailed information, due dates, etc., I'll update the blog more and more. In the meantime, if you'd like to bookmark it, and follow along, here is the URL:

Thanks for all the support everyone has shown us, and please continue to keep us in your prayers throughout the remainder of this year. I'll post more details as they become available.

Peace.
