First Attempt.

So I'm gonna give this blogging thing a shot. I've never been one to write down or even verbalize my feelings or what's going through my head, which is probably a good thing for most people, but I'm sitting here at work at 1:15 in the morning waiting on some SQL scripts to run so I figured I would at least attempt it.

A few months ago my gf and I found out she was pregnant, I was scared and excited all in the same breath. I was scared because between us we already have 6 kids and I'm not sure that we could handle another. It's a big responsibility to bring a life into this world, especially since we aren't exactly in the greatest of shape financially. On the other hand I was really excited because I love babies and I had thought about wanting another one for quite some time. A lot of people, especially family members thought we were crazy for letting it happen, but at that point it wasn't going to change the fact that she was pregnant.

As her and I have gone through this pregnancy and have shared the experience with the kids, hers and mine, I believe it has drawn us closer. On the 10th of November, we went to the doctor and had an ultrasound done and found out that our miracle of life is going to be a girl. I can't even begin to describe the emotions that ran through me when the ultrasound tech told us it was a girl and begin to show us how she could tell through the grainy black and white images being displayed on the screen in front of our eyes.

For years I have thought no matter what I did, I would always be blessed with boys over girls. Most guys probably wouldn't complain about that, but I always wanted to have a daughter, a daddy's little girl. I just didn't think it would happen, but it did and I'm thrilled about that.

I am ready for March to get here so I can hold my precious lil girl in my arms, at least I think I'm ready, lol
