I'd like to introduce you...

This is my friend 'Confidence'. We haven't seen each other in a while but we have become aquatinted again!
(How long has it been?)... Oh, let's see, March was it? Yeah, March! After the 1/2 marathon... So ya, almost 2 months!
(how did u get reacquainted?) well it's a funny story. I did a brick (bike & run) one morning... Bike: 15 miles, 48:00... Treadmill: 3.1 miles, 26:30... Which was fantastic for me and my confidence meter was rising. However, the swimming always seemed to be 'Debbie Downer'. Until today!!! I swam 3 laps (25m pool, 50m total in a lap) to warm up. Then swam 500m non stop in ~12:00. Took a breather and then swam 7 laps with breaks working on technique... That's 20 laps total!
I'm not bragging on my new friend, ok maybe a little, but it has been so long since I have felt this good! I just wanted to share in my excitement.
-----
Speaking of excitment... I have someone else I would like for you to meet! This is 13 week old baby Garrett! I had the pleasure of seeing him/her earlier this week and I didn't realize I could smile so big! (FYI: those are legs, at least that's what the professionals tell me)

Big.... Daddy?

As most of you now know, and if you don't, Kelli and I are expecting our first child in October. We are beyond excited! We have known for some time now, but have just started to let the world share in our excitement.... To say that we are happy is an understatement. To say that I'm scared, may be a bigger one. Any free thoughts throughout the day are consumed by the upcoming little bundle and I hope that I can do 1/2 the job my parents did!

If you remember, Kelli was in an accident a few weeks ago. You should to go back and read my last entry "That Moment..." and while you read, remember we knew that Kelli was about 9-10 weeks pregnant... After the ER and the OB appt everything checked out. Shortly after the close call we decided to start telling people. We told our parents and Kelli's sisters the week before and weren't going to start telling people until after the 12th week. But since many questions were starting to arise about the details we decided to start telling people. We started with the grandparents, then other family and then the next day we released the info on the interweb... We received so much love and support that it was truly a blessing to see.

We go this week for another Ultrasound. This one will be my first one to ever hear, see and be apart of. It will be an amazing experience, one that I will never forget. Thank you all for your love and support! Any advice along the way will be greatly appreciated.

"May the road rise up... wind be at your back... Until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand."
