She's Pregnant!

  It's been almost a week since we found out about the newest addition to the family, and I'm not entirely sure it's completely sunk in.

  Don't get me wrong, I'm super excited to be a father.  I know that times will be tougher, money will be tighter, and time to myself is pretty much gone for the next 18 years, but for all that, I still can't wait to raise a child.  There's something about raising a child, knowing that they have the potential to change the world, both in small ways or big, and that the sky really is the limit for them.  There's also the daunting feeling, where I know that I have the ability to help or hinder my child in the way that I raise them.  I still have 8 more months until I have to panic, so I'll just enjoy the thought of my child building sofa forts, or playing with Lego's and Nerf guns, with a big grin on their face.  The hectic, grown-up things I need to worry about can wait for just a few more months.
