And So Month 3 Begins...

Julie and I have been pregnant for two months now and I'm still as excited as the day we found out together. Along with the joy has come some difficulties, but hardly anything to write about I suppose. We're spending more time together which is a great thing, for sure, and my love for her is greater each time we are even near each other.

Tomorrow is our 9 week appointment and we'll get to see our growing baby for the second time. Of course our families are filled with joy and are actively helping us prepare for the newborn. We haven't even made it out of the first trimester and we've already accumulated (or will soon) two car seats (one for each of us... THAT will be a help), a stroller and a high chair. Julie has been researching cribs and bassinets, which has brought her a lot of happiness.

One of the hardest things at this time is the projects I have been doing outside of work which has taken quality time from our relationship. I have made the decision to not let this get in the way of our love for one another and the experience of pregnancy as a father and lover.

I'm truly blessed that I've found someone who is as excited about life in general as I am (and maybe even more so, which helps me when my mood is down). Perhaps one day she'll happen upon this blog and see that none of my thoughts have gone unnoticed and that my heart has not gone untouched by the things that I am sharing with her.

I suppose that's all I have to write at the moment. I'm sure I'll have more to post later. I've already registered a domain name for a site to chronologize the growth, birth and life of our baby. Some work on the design of the site has been done; however, I look forward to including Julie in her ideas on what she'd like to see as far as content and looks for the final result. Anyways, time for bed...

Take care,
B

Welcome Back to Normal Life

Well, I'm now back to my new routine and I'm two weeks into my next adventure! I have a bunch of fun pictures (don't worry, the link won't make you sign up for anything if you don't want to... and if you do, it's just Facebook) from my trip with Julie through Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming and Montana. It was a blast and I got to see a lot of beautiful things!

Anyways, so after a much needed rest I went head first into work today and worked my butt off. :) As ALL good employees should! I'll be sure to post some cool techie stuff on my other blog since it's been a VERY long time and then this blog will become a breeding ground for information and thoughts on my previously mentioned adventure...

I'm going to be a dad! I'm very excited and thrilled about it, and after three months of trying Julie and I have our first shot at pregnancy. I certainly hope that in March I will be face to face with my very own child. We have our first appointment next month (9 weeker, for you that know) and we're both ecstatic. I'm very happy that I've been given this opportunity and the love that Julie and I share is amazing which will make this experience even that more moving for me.

Julie doesn't even know I have a blog... Or likely what a blog is... But if she ever finds it, I want her to know how much I love her and how proud I am to be having a child with her. Thank you for being the other half of my heart and showing me the other side of things when I sometimes need it.

Take care for now,
B
