A HEARTBEAT

It's funny what a little monitor that makes a sound like a small train can do to someone. Today Amy and I had our second appointment with the OB/GYN and we were able to hear the heartbeat of our little baby. It was such a moving experience to hear that little heart just beating away. Every time we have an appointment or visit with someone regarding the pregnancy it becomes a little more real, and even though we are still a little nervous and have our fears, experiences like today give me comfort and bring a lot of extra excitement and enthusiasm.
The doctor says that everything is progressing fine and that we are right on track! We thank the Lord for watching over us and helping us everyday move one step closer to parenthood.

THE FISH COME HOME

Today was the beginning of an exciting adventure together. The Barbs have come home and we are very excited to have entered the majestic world of fishkeeping. We have 5 beautiful Tiger Barbs... Shere Khan Barb, Bagheera Barb, Mufasa Barb, Tigger Barb and Tony The Tiger Barb. They are clearly adopted and we aren't going to change their last name becuase we don't want to confuse and shock them. We also are the proud fishkeepers of two lovely sucker fish: Ogo and Pogo. They are named after the legendary sea-monster in Ogopogo Lake, British Colombia, Canada. We hope they don't die!
In other exciting news, we are going to be the proud parents of a baby of the human variety here in just 6 short months. Amy and I are very excited to be parents and feel so blessed to have a new spirit in our home!
