We may have found the reason your wife has been throwing up in the morning...Congratulations Mr. Leonard. DOH!

The title may be a little misleading because Erin has never been sick. However, the end result is still the same. Oops. Oh Well, it goes without saying, and I'm sure you all know by now, that this was not planned. Am I upset? Not at all. Am I worried. Not yet. Just kidding. Everything is going to be OK. God has a plan and I guess it is his plan for us to have a child. The way I look at it goes something like this: I have been trying to plan out how certain things are suppose to happen at certain times throughout my life, but never wind up panning out how they were suppose to. All the good things that have happened to me in my life have come unplanned. The best example is my lovely wife Erin. Unsuspecting I meet a nice, pretty girl when I'm working at the zoo, and the rest is history. So, I know that this is going to be something great. I have no worries because I know Erin is going to be a fantastic mother. She is such an amazing woman, and I am so lucky to be married to her. God has blessed me with so much in my life. I'm a lucky man.
I really wanted to write something on this blog because I also wanted to share with everyone how happy I feel that I am going to be a father. It may not always show when I talk to people, but words cannot describe the elation I feel. I would be very happy no matter what, but I think it means even more to me since my father just recently passed away. Sometimes I think to myself that this is dad talking to me and saying that it is time for me to grow up and take responsibility for my life. What better way to give the gift of a child. I know he will be watching over me and helping me, and that is also why I have no worries. If I can be half as good a father he was for me everything will be OK. Thank you dad. I love you. Thank you to all my family and friends. Without you I am nothing. You make me the person I am. I love you all.

MY DREAM!!

My Grammy's name is SANDRA, and she passed away 3 years ago. Months before I was even pregnant I had this dream about her...I was at Mayfair Mall and Grammy was on the bottom floor just standing there kind of looking around. I was on the top floor and I saw her so I yelled down to her..."GRAMMY look!" I held up this big baby and said, "You're a Great Grandma...her name is Rosalie Sandra!" She looked up and smiled and nodded.

I thought it was a cool dream, and kind of weird that a whole name just came out of my mouth! Maybe it was a premonition or something. But if it's a girl I think I will name her that...and she will have a pretty cool story behind her name and about her Great Grandma!

HELLO!!!

Well...this is pretty much where it started. I peed on a stick and HELLO!!! This is what it said!

Did I expect this?...no, but I've had time for it to sink in and I feel pretty happy about it now.

I feel a little guilty being that honest about it, but it's true, this was pretty unplanned. I wasn't really ready for it, but someone else sure thought I was. I take great comfort in that. And if God thinks I'm ready for this Great Journey then I'm ready! God has blessed me with a great support system of EXCITED family, friends and a GREAT husband! And that is really all I need!
