Reality setting in

Well I am finally posting like I have been telling Liz that I would. I have never had a blog so I kept telling her I was unsure how to start. Well after seeing the last ultrasound and hearing the heartbeat of our child I was inspired.

Even though the ultrasound was only a few weeks after the first one Liz had, the baby had grown so much and now it looks more like a baby. When the woman first started the ultrasound the baby was flipping and moving around like crazy and that was so exciting for me. It is still sinking in that Liz and I are going to be parents soon and I am excited for times that it becomes more real for me, and this last ultrasound was one of them. When Liz started to have some symptoms it started to be more real, but there is something about watching the ultrasound that is completely different. I have always wanted to be a Dad and looking at that ultrasound and seeing our child is something that I still am comprehending.

As we start to tell more people that also makes it seem more real to me and probably the reason that I have been more anxious to tell people than Liz has been. I have told a couple coworkers and one of them reacted in such a super excited way that it really made my day.

Some people have told me that it won't really sink in that we are parents till the day the baby is born. Until then I look forward to all the small and large events that will help me to realize that I am going to be a Dad, and I cannot wait.
