My son

I want to talk about the different experiences we've gone through with kids.I'll start with our first pregnancy. (Don't worry, I won't bore you by making it long) We had decided to wait until starting a family until we had been married a bit longer. No sooner had we decided that, then we were pregnant. Well, my wife was, but you know what I mean. We ended up having countelss ultrasounds, doctors appointments, my wife was hospitalized twice... it was tough. Various doctors had told us multiple times that our baby was dead and even if it wasn't, it would not make it to term. We never expected to even see our baby live. We just kept praying that the baby would make it through one more day! It was totally by God's grace that our son was born. When he came into the world, we knew that we needed to name him Emmanuel. For those that don't know, that means "God with us". It was amazing to finally be a dad! I remember that as a kid, I would dream about it. What it would feel like to see a little person running around and know that part of them was you. I remember praying that my future children would find good spouses and that I would be a good dad. When I was 7 or 8, I made a list of my biggest fears. Number 2 on the list was that I would find the right woman to marry and number one was that I would be a good father to my children. Anyway, that brings me to the end of pregnancy one.
