A Healthy Report

Today was Aimee's first doctor visit. They confirmed the pregnancy and estimate that we are on track for a Christmas/New Year's baby like we thought. The Nurse Practitioner said everything looks good.

Our church had a meeting Sunday night and so we let everyone know. Being congratulated on being a 'daddy' was nice. Everyone was so happy for us, and I know we'll have tons of support going forward, which is a good feeling. That, and we found out that another person that we know at church is also expecting, with almost the exact same due date!

Everyone keeps telling us we'll make great parents, so I hope we can live up to that. It's a strange thing to hear when you don't have any kids yet. If someone already had 3 kids, I could see telling them that, since, you know, it would already be obvious! But really, we appreciate the encouragement.

My mom just got her Mother's Day card with the news in it today, and she was happy too. Although she's planning a trip down next month, she's already planning a second trip for early 2008 to see the baby.

Justin and Aimee-
Congrats!! I remember a young lady, about 5 years ago, saying she didn't want any children!! I just don't think Aimee knew what a good Mom she could be, so it would be a huge "bummer" if she never tried! I know it's a long ways away, but I am so excited for you two. I was in tears yesterday as I pondered the fact that my baby is 9 1/2 and he's so grown up. I haven't hugged him enough and just haven't enjoyed my time with my kids enough!! I love them to pieces and can't even imagine my life without one of them. I love the idea of a blog! Thanks for sharing. We'll be here-via the internet, through the good and the bad.Just post it!!
