Well we got our first ultrasound yesterday. I must say that is the best thing ever. You know you're going to be a dad but it seems surreal then you see this little thing bouncing around on the screen. I had to hold myself back from crying; I was just so happy. I can't totally describe the feeling but it's just like awwww...and it's odd because you kinda step back and take a breath and realize, "Hey, I think I'm turning into an adult." I just feel young and old all at the same time. I see myself now as just a very responsible kid.

This year I think I'm going to try to see how green my thumb is. My dad and his dad before him were both pretty good in the garden. I'm hoping I got some of that ability the make things grow grow grow like crazy. I'm hoping to really fill the beds this summer with some flowers and maybe some bushes. At some point we're going to relandscape the yard but that is quite a bit more effort and we're still trying to figure out what we like. It's funny but I think I forgot how much I like to dig holes. Truthfully though it bring a story to mind which relates to an episode of friends where they go to the beach and Joey digs a big hole. I used to make some monster holes at the beach when I was a kid; no castles for me thank you very much. Well best of luck to me and this hopefully green thumb.

The moosehead story:

On this day my lovely bride wanted a little something called mooseheads. She called to the restaurant beforehand to ask if they offered take out of the fun desserts. Well they had no idea what take out means so we ended up with a reservation. We figured we would just explain what the term take out means in person as the phone conversation did not go over well. You see they also serve a beer in a cart out front called moosehead so this made it all more confusing initially. Once we were there we tried explaining the situation to the employees up front and well they did not understand that we did not want to sit there for a couple hours for dessert. There were people there trying to get in at the time and since this placed is usually booked well in advance they were all turned away. Finally after about 45min of trying to explain what take out means. Finally someone sent in one of the managers and they got it after about 7min. and they said "sure no problem." Meanwhile a nice gentlemen and his wife, who was in a wheelchair, came along and was trying to get in. He did not know how popular this place was so seemed bummed that he was not able to get in. We luckily had this reservation for dinner that we did not need to we gave it to them and they seemed very happy with that. While we waited for out mooseheads the man popped out and haded us a $20 which we tried to give back but he insisted so that pretty much covered the cost of the mooseheads. It was quite the ordeal for this tasty treat but it worked out.

So they gave my wife this book at the doctors office with everything and anything you can think of during this "ordeal" I can't think of a nicer way to put it, anyway some of the info well does she really need to know. I guess it is entertaining to watch her make these horrific faces over all the stuff in there but does a pregnany woman need more stress?

Well hey first trimester woohoo, 1/3 down 2/3 to go.
