Welcome to my world!

Hi, I'm Matt! I decided to start this blog so that people could hear a male's perspective about impending fatherhood and married life in general. My wife and I have been married since October 2007. We are a happily married couple expecting our first child, a daughter. We are now officially 72.5% through our pregnancy or 29 weeks. I truly thank God that everything has progressed as smoothly as it has thus far. Every doctors visit I have been on "pins and needles" hoping for nothing but normal to good news.

My wife and I recently started childbirth classes in anticipation of our baby girl. Our first class taught us (mostly me) about the benefits of breastfeeding a new born. It's amazing how many positives there are to breastfeeding a baby. I unfortunately was a formula only baby, but I turned out okay :).

Tomorrow is our second childbirth class and I'm really starting to feel involved in the whole birthing process. As a male it's sometimes difficult to understand what a woman's body is going through during a pregnancy. I find myself asking God to provide me with the patience and discipline to support my wife through it. I know in my heart I have all the right intentions to be a good daddy but caring for a newborn will be challenge for me,but I'm ready for it to happen (gulp!).

Well its off to bed for me. My wife and I are participating in a Ronald McDonald charity walk for kids tomorrow morning.

I look forward to telling you all about it tomorrow.

Bye for now..
