Okay, this will probably be the biggest news you will ever find on my blog.
I am going to be a daddy again. Amie is currently at week 16 in the latest addition to our family. This has been a very rocky 16 weeks. From about week 6 to week 12 we were high risk and were going to the doctors pretty much weekly for sonograms, ultrasounds and whatever else they could throw our way. Then at week twelve they told us everything looked good and to try to treat it like a normal pregnancy. Well, we or at least I did. Then Saturday we had another little scare and it continued through Sunday and this morning we finally found out everything is okay.
If you are a parent or have every been through a pregnancy, just a normal pregnancy is kind of crazy. There are so many things going on and you really don't know how to deal with any of them. Well, going through a high risk pregnancy, even though it was for only 6 weeks, is brutal. It is hard on your wife, it is hard on you, it is hard on your family, it is hard on everyone who surrounds you. It was the longest and probably one of the hardest six weeks of my life. It's hard when life puts you in a situation you have absolutely no control over. No matter how bad you want to help someone or make things better you can't do anything. The worst feeling in the world is getting a phone call from your wife, who can barely talk because she is crying so hard, and finding out something is wrong. You jump in your car, rush to pick her up, and then rush to the ER the whole time not really knowing what to say or do to comfort her. For just about every minute of that whole six weeks, I was angry, scared, sad, disappointed and I'm sure a million other things. It was a very hard time for the three of us. We were very lucky though because we both have great families who didn't hesitate to step in and help anywhere they could. I can't imagine going through something like that without people there to help hold you up.
Today, everything is okay. Everything will be okay tomorrow and each day after that.
