Half way and Baby K is giving high fives!

Erin is in grad class and I have hijacked her blog to share some things with you.  I could not be more blessed.  I have a beautiful wife who is glowing more and more each day as we are getting closer to Baby K's arrival.  Our family is experiencing God's love in real time as have become parents.  I am privileged to have a sideline view of God's work as He forms Baby K and I am loving it. 

For the longest time Erin has wanted to be a mom and now that she is she couldn't be happier.  This has been a crazy cool experience for me also.  Even though I am not carrying our child, I am becoming very attached to him/her emotionally.  We have had two sonograms now and the differences in such a short time are incredible.  Our child's growth from week 9 to week 20 is amazing.  Now we could see bones and each chamber of the heart among other things.  I saw our child moving on the monitor during both sonograms and was anticipating the opportunity to feel him/her kick.

Recently Erin began to feel movements and would describe them to me.  She was excited for me to feel kicks once they were significant enough.  About a week ago our child gave me a high five!  I was super excited in that moment.  Erin told me that it was probably a foot or something but I like to think it was a hand.  

Erin is now half way along in the pregnancy.  I can't imagine what God has in store for us in the second half.  I am becoming more excited than a kid on Christmas morning for the moment when I get to hold our child for the first time.
