Ephesians 5:1,2

" Follow God's example in everything you do, because you are his dear children. Live a life filled with love for others, following the example of Christ, who loved you and gave himself as a sacrifice to take away your sins. And God was pleased, because that sacrifice was like a sweet perfume to Him."

My prayer is to follow God's example (Jesus) to the best of my ability with the help of the Holy Spirit. I believe the more I am like Christ, the better father I will be. Learning how to live a life loving others is a great desire of mine. When I think about loving my kid (I already do and it continues to grow), it blows me away. I get a glimpse on how God may feel about Jesus. That last verse 'And God was pleased, because that sacrifice was like a sweet perfume to Him,' I'm finding I can relate to more and more. Our baby is already a like a sweet perfume to me that is ever growing in it's permanence. Just thinking about him/her brings me joy and excitement along with a desire to one day meet.

21 Weeks :)

Wow! Time went by so fast that I didn't even to get to post our 20weeks. So this is kind of a catch up as well. We had a doctor's appointment this past Monday (8/18) and had a sonogram. Unbelievable! Our baby looked so amazing! The Baby is in excellent health and is also about 5 days ahead of schedule in development. The baby weighs 15oz and is around a foot in length:) I have felt the Baby kick a couple of times now and it feels like the kicks are getting stronger (Christy feels them for sure) :) We appreciate all your prayers and support! God Bless!

19 Weeks!

19 Weeks Already! I actually think I felt the baby kick just the other night and it was unreal! Our baby is the size of a large heirloom tomato (pic on right), weighs about 8 1/2 ounces, and about 6 inches in length top to bottom. The Baby's sensory development is well underway (smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch)! There is a chance the baby can hear our voices now so we are trying to speak to the baby in Spanish (never to early):) Christy may experience rapid growth in the weeks to come (she still looks amazing) and the baby is still having fun jumping on her bladder. Pregnancy is one awesome journey!

Pregnancy so far - 18weeks

Wow!!! We are about half way there already...time flew by. Coming up on 19 weeks this Friday (8/8) :). So far, the pregnancy has been pretty exciting. A new experience for both of us. Christy can feel the baby move and kick and I'm trying to catch it kicking to see if I can feel it. I think it's still too early but you never know. According to babycenter.com the baby is about 5.5 inches long; 7 oz; and about the size of a bell pepper. Every doctor's appointment we have been to shows the baby has a strong heartbeat and is actually growing a little ahead of schedule. Christy says the baby likes to sit on her bladder a lot :). Well, until next time, please continue praying for us as we continue this awesome journy!

Deut. 4:9

I'm gona try and post a verse every week that I feel will help prepare me for fatherhood. The more I come to know God as a father, the more I want to be one.

Deuteronomy 4:9
Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them.
