Ready, Set, Nest!

I never understood until recently what "nesting" really meant or why people did it but now I think that I finally understand. For the last week or so I have had this unreal feeling like I need to have every little thing in my home clean and in place for no apparent reason. After getting the main part of the house clean I thought that the feeling might go away but then it got even worse when I realized that it probably wouldn't stop. I have been cleaning and organizing like a mad man for the last week, and now since it is getting warm outside it has shifted to getting the yard looking good and having things ready for the baby.

Whenever I think about being a dad or having a baby of my own I start to have this overwhelming feeling of excitement and nervousness at the same time. On one hand I want the baby to be here and to see her face but on the other I am so nervous because I have no idea of how to take care of a baby. I have so many things that I want to make sure I do as a father and so many things that I don't want to mess up. I just hope that she loves me as much as I already love her.

Emily has been a real trooper with all of her emotions going completely haywire. We have a few arguments over stupid things but all in all things are going well. I love her so much and I am so glad that she is as excited as I am to have her in our lives. She is already such a blessing and we know that she is our little miracle in our lives. We know things might get hard but we will do whatever we have to do to provide for her. (even get up at 3:15 AM to go to work)

A name ... We finally chose a name!

So Emily is now 7 Months Pregnant and she is as miserable as ever but still going strong. We have been working on the nursery and getting it ready though there is not a lot in it right now.

For months now since we found out it was a girl we have been trying to come up with a name for her and we just couldn't come to any conclusion or final name to call her but we finally decided that the name we are going to give to her is "LYDIA GRACE JONES". Emily has actually had that name pick out for a number of years but as we talked about other names she couldn't just decide. I really love the name and am glad that it is not a common name right now. Also we are very excited because one of our friends that we play games with is also having a girl and hopefully they will become good friends.

Well, as I promised I have Photos from the ultrasounds. I hope you enjoy them as much as we are.
