That&#8217;s all I can say is wow.  After over two and a half years of trying,<br \/>\nwe finally did it.  Jenn is pregnant.  Pregnant I tell you (whoever you is).<br \/>\nAll the surgeries, all the waiting, all the emotions, and, finally, bam.<br \/>\nI still can&#8217;t believe it.  Heck, I may not believe it until the kid is 10.<\/p>\n<p>What a rollercoaster this last week has been.  It&#8217;s been all about our<br \/>\npending bundle of joy.  We&#8217;ve been letting this new found knowledge settle<br \/>\nin (no, it hasn&#8217;t), sharing this bit of knowledge with those who we love and<br \/>\ntrust (to Jenn&#8217;s family &#8211; do we have a surprise for you), and learning all about<br \/>\nthe road ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Shew and what a road it will be.  Twists and turns, ups and downs, worries and joys.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m as happy as I am nervous, as scared as I am excited.<\/p>\n<p>Now come the tests.  The first, an initial visit with the fertility doctor, went<br \/>\nby just this Friday.  The relief we felt when an actual doctor confirmed the<br \/>\npregnancy can only be imagined and guess what?  We still don&#8217;t really believe it.<br \/>\nThe second, an initial sonogram, comes up just next week.  This one will check to<br \/>\nmake sure the baby isn&#8217;t in the tube but in the uterus where it should be.<br \/>\nWe hit the OB doctor in a couple of weeks, she has several rounds of blood<br \/>\ntests, and then &#8230; well and then we&#8217;ll take it one step at a time.  The first three months<br \/>\nare the most risky and you better believe we are nervous.<\/p>\n<p>And there is more to come.  Much more.  Morning sickness, emotional turmoil,<br \/>\npainting, shopping for baby clothes, shopping for baby toys,<br \/>\nshopping for clothes for her, building baby furniture, visiting the doctor,<br \/>\ntests upon tests, the baby shower, and tons of stuff I left out.<\/p>\n<p>But you know what? We&#8217;ve been waiting for this for more than two years.  Strap me in.<br \/>\nPut down the lap bar.  Let&#8217;s go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wow!
