What Did I Do Before....


I'm pretty sure I don't remember. 

She hasn't eaven arrived yet, and already I'm changing.  I have 6 1/2 weeks left, the time is flying by.

It seems like it was just the other day, I came home after work, to find Amy sitting on the back patio (which was highly unusual).  She seemed a little out of sorts.  Immediatly I ran thru the last few days in my mind to try to figure out what I might have done.  Couldn't think of anything....

I asked what she was doing?  She just looked at me and said "I'm pregnant".

The phrase "knocked me over with a feather" came to mind, but a feather is way to dense. 

Maybe a little background is needed...

Amy and I have been married for 11 years, it's been a great marriage.  She sensible, direct, responsible, where I have none of those qualities.  That's probably why it works for us....

About five years ago, we decided that we wanted children.  We tried and tried (trying is my favorite part), but didn't have any luck.  so, we started seeing doctors.  Testing occurred, I got a little too familiar with a specimin cup, all said and done we couldn't have children.  It just wasn't going to happen for us. 

With this news in hand, we talked and cried it out, and decided that it is what it is, we would live vicariously through the nephews and spoil them rotten, as uncles and aunties so often do.
