This week has been exciting. We went to the doctor Monday for our scheduled ultrasound. We were going to find out the baby's gender. After checking in a nurse ushered us into the Ultrasound room. We were both anxious and excited. Liz really wanted a girl and at first the Ultrasound technician was having trouble seeing if the baby had a penis. I could see on Liz's face that she thought it might be a girl. The tech told Liz to lie on her side until the doctor came in. Apparently that would cause the baby to move and possible give a good look at his or her genital area.The doctor came in and after using the ultrasound machine to do a cross-section of the area. She quickly and emphatically said it's a boy. I was very happy but I could see that Liz was stifling her emotion. After the doctor talked to us and we printed off the ultrasound pictures Liz and I separated. I went to a small waiting room and Liz went to the bathroom to get a sample of urine for the doctor's office. ...

My wife is now approximately 20 weeks pregnant. We will find out the gender of the baby on Monday. While my initial desire was to wait to find out the way my parents waited for their children, Liz really wants to know. As a result we have an appointment with an ultrasound scheduled. I'm excited. I know that whatever gender the Lord has plans for this child. In other news Matthew and I went to the doctor today. He had to have a planter's wort treated for the second time with liquid nitrogen to freeze the tissue. Interestingly I have a planter's wort on my foot in a similar position to Matt's. It is very likely that he got it from me. Matthew made sure to tell the doctor that I probably gave him the wort. When the doctor found out that I had a similar wort he offered to treat me with the liquid nitrogen free of charge. So there we were father and son sitting on the table with butcher paper with one sock off. We took turns holding each other's hands as we endured the s...

I can't believe Christmas is over. It went pretty well. Liz's mother stayed over the night before and the four of us opened presents together. Then Liz, Matthew and I went to the Whites were we open more presents with the extended family. We stayed there the rest of the day. I've had a good Christmas. It has taken me a while to get my Sirius radio working. I had to get a home kit. Even with that it didn't work until I put the antenna through the window and outside the house about three feet. But it is working now and I understand the multifaceted approach the radio offers with Satellite and Internet listening. Outside of that we have a lot going on. Liz is 17 weeks pregnant. She's doing pretty well but she has been suffering from headaches. Liz and I both have sore throats right now. Anyway the new semester is coming up fast. It's the last one.

In less than two weeks we'll be leaving for D.C. and my grandparents 50th anniversary party. I'm looking forward to it. I think Liz and Matthew are too. As of today Liz is nine weeks pregnant. Just a few days ago we were given a gift for the baby: little cowboy boots. They look pretty cool. Liz and Matthew are asleep right now. It's Friday night. Today we saw Bee Movie. It wasn't very good. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't good either. Liz just mumbled from the other room that she was dreaming. I'd have to agree with her.

Well, we're having a baby. We're so happy. I can't believe it. Matthew is going to be a big brother. We will be going to the doctor for our first visit in just a few weeks. Liz is about two months pregnant right now. We have basically settled on the names for either a boy or a girl already. That may change. Liz wants to know what the gender is as soon as we can find out. However in my family we don't usually find out. So against my better wishes I think that I am going to have capitulate. Well, I am so happy. I'm learning so much about pregnancy and babies. However I feel like I know so little.

Well it was a long six weeks. There was a lot of intensity as we conducted a field school in Cleveland, Tennessee. Eight churches from the surrounding area were involved. We had between 10-15 baptisms. However we had around 40 decisions for baptism in the near future. I helped with giving out the lessons and materials throughout the meetings. We had the meetings in the Bradley Square Mall. It definitely was a learning experience. While I was there I lived in a mother-in-law suite in someone's house. I had my own living room, dining area, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. Liz and Matthew were able to come down twice for a few days each time. I'm really glad to be back home. I'll be going back to classes tomorrow.

I haven't written for a while. It's not that there isn't a lot going on. I'm just lazy. Liz and Matthew are over at Karen's. I'm about to go and watch a new episode of Man vs. Wild.
