We went to the lake with the Rodgers and the Lubichs on Saturday. We rode up to the lake with the Lubichs, and Jeremy had made a comment like “this time next year I wonder if any of us will start having kids” – Emily and I looked at each other and almost told him, but we resisted.

Later on Emily and I were with Jen and we told her – it was a lot of fun to tell a friend – she was very excited. We told Jeremy when we got back into the car to go home, and Jen said it was so hard for her to keep quiet the whole day They were both very happy for us.

We’re still keeping our secret quiet for a little while longer. Sometimes it is very hard not to just shout it out, but we somehow manage.

It is still hard to believe that we are going to have a baby, but we are getting more and more excited. I often wonder what kind of a dad will I be? If it’s a little girl, it will be very hard to enforce the rules, I think
