Father's Day

Ben and I decided to celebrate Mother's Day and Father's Day this year even though we don't have an outside baby yet. I know some people don't celebrate but we wanted to this year. Ben got a watch this year (of course to time my contractions with!). It turns out it's the same one I got his as an engagement present (that he left at school one day) and I didn't even know. I just thought it looked liked something he would like. I made him dinner (he wanted cheese burgers) and didn't ask him to do any work all day (except get down on the kitchen floor and reach into the back of the cabinet for me). He took a nap (I did too!) and played his computer games...it was a relaxing afternoon (though hotter than heck!) Then we went with his family bowling (I sat this one out since I'm already carrying around a bowling ball) and someone got the idea to put a bowling ball under their shirt and look like me- so then we had to get a picture of it...hilarious! I thought it was so funny! It was a great day and I know Ben's going to be a great dad in just a few short weeks!

My adorable husband

My Sweetie posted this on his Myspace Blog - he's going to be such a good Daddy.

Fatherhood, graduation, what’s next?
A lot can happen in two months - and a lot has happened since I last blogged! First thing is, I found out that I'm going to be a dad :) It's a pretty mind-blowing feeling when you find out that you're going to be responsible for the life of another human being. Sometimes I feel so ready for it, other times it's pretty overwhelming, but never in a bad way. Steph and I still won't know whether it will be a boy or girl for at least another month, probably more, but we did get to have an ultrasound a couple weeks ago - that was really amazing :) For now, we're calling the baby "Sprout" ;)
Also, since I last blogged, I FINALLY graduated from UNM with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science. Sometimes it feels like it went by really fast, other times, it really feels like 4 1/2 years... hehe. I probably would feel more accomplished than I do if I weren't going straight to grad school, but it still feels great to have the longest stretch of school done. Just two more years, and I'll be officially done with school. Seems so far off... My kid will be walking and probably talking by then - weird!
Kinda funny how when you have kids, your perspective on life changes. You start to think about every major event in your life by what milestones your child will reach at those times. And you really start thinking about how what you do, say, and live every day will affect their life. It's pretty awesome, and I feel totally blessed that God would entrust me with someone else's life. Words just don't do it justice - that's just the best I can do to describe how I feel about it ;)
Well... I'm outta here... I've still got a lot of sleep to catch up on from the semester!
