Yes, it it now official. Krista announced during our NABS prayer time this morning that we are expecting a baby! I bet some people were wondering when we would start a family, and now the time is ‘right’ for us to do so.

We actually found out during the weekend that my mom visited town, but we did not want to tell everyone until we had confirmation from the doctors and until we had a chance to tell some of our close friends first. Krista had her first doctors appointment – which went well. Apparently her due date is June 15th, although apparently that might be slightly modified. In any case, her due date will be sometime in early to mid June.

Of course we are really excited about this news, although it has not yet fully ‘hit me’ as of yet. A few of my colleagues at the seminary have greeted me with a ‘hi dad’, which seems quite strange. I am sure that I will get used to that as time goes on, but it still sounds rather bizarre. In speaking with a friend, I think that it will ‘hit home’ once Krista begins to ‘show’ – I am guessing that that will be in a few months.

God is good.
