If I had to count on my fingers, a post with the title of Big News would be any of the following: a move, a new job, building a house, buying a yacht, or a new baby. I should make you all try to figure out what the big news is, but since a lot of people already know, it wouldn't be much fun.
So. Prepare yourself.
Brianna and I are having a BABY! Yup, you read that correctly. In mid-April we will be the proud parents of a bouncing baby! We won't know the sex for awhile, but we do intend on finding out.
Brianna has started nesting. She has already been scouring Kijiji for deals on used baby items. Right after we found out, she discovered a full nursery set for a little under half price! We made the trip to Red Deer and fit it all into our Caliber! I was quite pleased and surprised that it all fit. Advantages to having a hatchback. Once we know if it's a boy or a girl, she'll be able to put her plans into action!
We told our parents right away. It just happened that her parents were celebrating their anniversary the same day we found out. We told them that night out at the lake and they were surprised and quite happy! Then we told my parents over video chat. I really wish we had recorded that, because their faces were priceless! Then we worked our way out and have told the Facebook world.
It's quite exciting! I've always wanted to be a Dad and I have a special place in my heart for kids, so now that I'm going to have one of my own, it makes me burst with joy! Brianna is especially excited! This is something she has dreamed and asked for, for a long time. She can't wait to meet our little Peanut!
We will be happy if it's a boy or a girl or even a Klingon, but our friends are almost all thinking it's a girl. What do you think? My desire is split, but I wouldn't mind having a little girl to take on daddy dates.
