After many months of negative pregnancy tests, a couple weeks ago I was woken up to my wife smiling from ear to ear with a positive test in hand. Things are happening and if everything goes well, I should get to meet my son/daughter early 2017. I still have a hard time believing it.

I've since been reading all about pregnancy, and educating myself. I know we have all learned about it in school, but I didn't really care at that time. Now, when I am reading up on everything, it's an absolute miracle how everything happens. It's magical to think that inside my wife is a little grape with a beating heart and that grape will form in to a living, breathing baby.

My wife is so happy. Her breasts are sore, she is eating like a horse, and goes to bed early. We have our first ultrasound at the end of June. It's an exciting time.

I told my mom (things are still early, and the chance of a miscarriage is still there), and she cried with joy. She is having a hard time not telling anyone and keeping it all inside. My dad doesn't know yet (he is on vacation), but I plan on telling him when he returns.

I'm still seeing the girl I wrote about in the last entry. She has been really busy, and it has been tough finding time to spend together. We saw each other last night, and had a great night of talking, play, and cuddling. I let her know that my wife was pregnant (she knew we were trying), and she was happy for us.

I really like this girl. She is definitely someone that I could (and am) fall hard and fast for. She is smart, sexy and level-headed -- the same things that I love about my wife. I think we may be looking for different things though... I am looking for a full relationship. I would like to see her regularly and ideally grow a deep relationship. I think that she is ideally looking for something more casual, but really enjoys the time she spends with me. I think that there may be an imbalance of power (I think I'm more invested that she is), but I just can't stop myself -- I really like her. I'm really enjoying this ride, but I have a feeling that I'm going to have my heart broken.
