Wow, maybe I'll revive my Blog....

So I discovered that it has been almost 2 years since I've posted on my blog. Well, now my life becomes more interesting. My wonderful wife and I have 2 children, an 11 yr old boy and a 7yr old girl. After 7 years of saying we were done, we decided to have one more child. My wife is now 12.5 weeks pregnant, and this past Thursday we found out we are expecting twins! This is very exciting and very scary at the same time. I have done some looking and discovered that most of the blogs out there by parents are "mommy blogs" Specially the twin related ones. They really focus on the womans point of view and on the things a woman/mom is going through. Well I decided to put a twist on it and try to write one from a guys/dads perspective. We will see how I do, and if there is any interest. So check back as I try to document my wifes pregnancy, and then as we add these two precious little ones to our family. Right now its been fun watching my older two kids react to the news of Mom being pregnant first of all, and then later discovering that they are getting not one but TWO! siblings. This is a planned pregnancy so it was not a surprise to us, but when we sat the kids down to tell them that they were getting a sibling, it was obvious that it was the last thing they expected. In fact when we called them into the living room for a chat, they thought they were in trouble! After making them try to guess, we told our son that we were going to finish the basement and make a room for him down there. He was excited because he has been begging for this for a while. He exclaimed , "awesome, I thought you were going to tell us Mommy was pregnant or something." I said,"your right, Mommy is pregnant!" His jaw about hit the floor, and he went running upstairs. I called him back down and by then it had hit our daughter! She screamed and was very happy and excited. Our son being the grown up 11yr old exclaimed, "thats freaky!" all settled down and they quickly became very excited about the prospect. We overheard our daughter that same night whispering to herself, "my dream came true!" apparently she has been wanting a younger sibbling for some time. Now on Thursday we found out we were having twins, so we quickly told them and showed them the ultrasound pictures. Once again our son kind of freaked out, and our daughter was instantly thrilled. So for the last few days we've been having fun trying to pick out more names, and running through ideas for how we will cope with not one but two babies at the same time.
