It's about time

Well, my wife has been talking about doing a family blog for a while now and I finally listened. How much it will get updated...I guess we'll find out as we go.

For now we do have news though. I'm home. I'm not at work. Baby #3 is coming on Thursday so I've been working at home this week helping out around the house and with Kietlyn (she's sick). Trying to be a good dad and husband.

What's been interesting and different about this pregnancy though is the element of surprise. I never really thought it would be this "surprising" but we have not found out what we are having. We already have a boy and a girl so I just wanted to experience surprise. We found out with the other two. Jenise, with tons of convincing on my part, has gone along with it. Last week the doctor did an ultrasound-38 weeks into it--and the first words out of my mouth to the doc were "We don't want to know what we're having, so stay away from that area." The excitement this has brought to me for this pregnancy is great. I don't have the joys of knowing there is a life inside of me growing or feeling every little movement and every pound gained like my wife does. Don't get me wrong, I'd be excited no matter what but the mystery of what this child is has peaked my interest. For a week now I've been on edge for this baby to come. I don't remember being like that for the other two. Maybe because I knew what was coming. It's like Christmas eve/Birthday eve all wrapped up into one. I'm just excited to see what God is going to bring us in 2 days.

If I could put a poll on here I would but haven't figured out how yet so here is my unofficial poll. Comment and let us know what you think it is.

Here's our count:

Josh thinks (and really hopes) it's a boy.
Jenise: Girl
Caleb: Boy (because he already has a sister)
Kiet: Girl (because she already has a brother)

So we're 50/50. Break the tie. Let us know what you think we're having. We'll let you know on Thursday!

  2. Glad you started a blog. It is so nice to see pics and hear what is going on in Jon and Haverlee's life. Now we will get in glimpse into yours! It helps so much not getting to see you.
    Having one of each, I am just praying for a healthy baby! It will be loved and cherished no matter what the Lord gives you! Praying for you all and send our love your way!
