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

Emily and I were thinking that we should probably tell Dr. Rob our chiropractor sometime soon that we were going to have a baby. Emily got to tell someone already, so she said it was my turn. So when I went in yesterday I was trying to think of a way to bring it up. But Dr. Rob was talking about something and said “… so when the time comes when you think you are going to start a family…” I just said, “Well… actually…” It was pretty funny, because he said, “Are you???”

He was very happy for us, and I think he can make some good recommendations (like nutrition, etc) for Emily.
