Dad's POV

I don't mean to push down Kristina's latest video log but I thought it was time I posted something about MY experience. I feel really bad about my initial reaction to the big news as evidenced in one of the first videos we posted. A baby has been our agenda for the last year or so and with Kristina's PCOS neither of us thought this would be happening so soon! I generally have a difficult time expressing my feelings and I tend to downplay major life events. But I'm happy and excited.

I've been waiting for today's dr. visit so Kristina's worries could be put to rest for a while. This weekend we were afraid when some of her symptoms changed that it was early signs of a miscarriage. So I played the protector role this weekend making sure she stayed off her feet and took it easy just to be on the safe side. She took off work Friday and Saturday, but by Sunday she was ready to get out of the house.

We went to church and then headed to her parents down south. It was funny because before we went down there I told her "you still need to take it easy. No 3 hour shopping excursions with your mom." It didn't take long before she was asking me about going out to get a kiddie pool for the family turtle to swim in outside. :) It wasn't going to be a long shopping trip like they would normally take on a Sunday so I figured that was fine.

So the appointment went well this afternoon. I was excited to see an actual baby on the screen instead of a black dot, and hearing the heartbeat was amazing. Whether it's a boy or girl I can't wait to start getting it accustomed to lots of great music with headphones. :)

So....I guess that's it for now.
