2012 - The year of the Baby.

2012 is the year.  No, seriously - this kid will be here in 4 months.  If you haven't started to freak out yet, now is the time.  No, wait, what? I'm the only one thinking that after all of the doctor visits, the fingerprinting, the background checks, the waiting, did I mention the waiting? that it still caught me somewhat by surprise.  I guess it started to feel like it might not ever happen for us. Just when I kind of tried to put it out of my mind - SURPRISE - BABY!

Ok, I'm not really complaining.  I am sooo excited to be a parent.  I think the next 4 months might kill me.  Mostly because I live with a pregnant woman, but also because I'M TIRED OF WAITING.  I want to meet my son.  I think about the things I want to show him, to teach him.  And I just can't wait to be a part of his life and watch him grow. It's amazing how he isn't even born yet and I love him so much.

Now we get to iron out all of the small details - you know the things that don't matter, like a name?  We have it narrowed down to our favorites, but I know that the idea of "thinking" about it will only lead us to the name that has already been chosen - Lincoln.   Love it or hate it, it will probably be our son!  It has gotten mixed reviews, but we'll see.

Since we can't play sports currently, we are trying to fill time by taking Spanish classes down on the Edmonds Water front.  I love it!  Si! Hablo Espanol.  Hopefully we will do well. We both have a few years of Spanish classes in our past (High school/college) but obviously since we are taking classes - it didn't stay with us for long. 

Anyway, I wanted to write a real quick update and get back into the blogging world.  We had disappeared - but good things were being accomplished.
