allow me to introduce…

Today, Jenn and I went to our first OBGYN appointment and, although we had to wait an hour to get in, it was awesome. Jenn got some free shwag (”What to Expect When You’re Expecting” and a pregnancy journal), we got to meet the Physicians Assistant who will be doing most of our appointments and she seems pretty cool, and most exciting of all, we got to see our baby.
He or she (still looking for a gender neutral name to call this little alien, and Lars is not an option!) even turned and waved at us a little bit.
There is only one of them (praise the Lord!) and it’s still too early to tell the baby’s sex. It was cool to get to see our kid’s little heart beat and now it certainly feels more real (holy crap, I’m gonna be a dad!).
For those of you who like staring at ultrasound photos, I’ve attached a pic of our little rockstar; that’s him or her in the lower right corner looking all awesome! By the way, the PA didn’t say it, exactly, but I’m pretty sure this kid is going to be an insane guitar player (they can tell that you know!).
Keep praying for Jenn as she’s still nautious, but hasn’t thrown up in a week; neither have I, if you’re wondering.
I have 3 comments &/ or Questions (you knew I would =)
#1: What do you mean when you say “Praise the Lord!” I take offense to the meaning behind your exaltation!
#2: Now that you are going to have a kid, you may want to start working on not saying “holy crap” so much. Remind me to tell you about the time Taylor yelled it very loudly.
#3: We are SOOO excited for you both and love you very much. I think that’s all I need to say for now.

Hi Paul (and Jenn),
I’m so happy for you both! It was a little hard seeing the ultrasound pic (I saw it on Sunday at the Women’s Ministry Leadership Meeting) I AM very happy for you…I will praying for you both iin this great adventure you are embarking on. Pray for us too, that we will have a successful pregnancy, if it is God’s will that we do so. And that if it isn’t, that He shows this to us without too much more pain on our parts. We haven’t yet ruled out adoption…we love kids so much you see…. (not that you would know that, with the fact that we have 4 now….HA HA.) Anyway, here’s to you…and that precious little one….May you continue to be blessed each and every day.
