Great news, I am going to be a Daddy!

Many of you know that the wife and I have had a lot of problems through the years, and well we tried fertility, wise men secrets, prayers, you name it. The wife has a brain tumor that is not cancerous but never had it removed do to it killing any chance of having a child of our own. Well a few months back at a check up the doc said that if he knew better he would say that my wife was pregnant. Now not going into too many details she was told that she was experiencing menopause at 33 yrs of age. OK, that is life.

The last time we were at the fertility guy was 2006. The last few months the wife was putting a little weight on but I never am one to point out something like that--the reason I am still married and together for 20 years this coming May. Anyway, my wife says she thinks she is pregnant because the test says so but the tumor has caused false readings before. Sunday I had practice and after practice my wife picked me up. She complained of stomach cramps. We headed to the ER. After talking to the doctor he decided to do a bedside ultra-sound and what I heard/saw made me start crying. Yes I said crying! I saw our first child, like I said we tried and had given up hope. The Lord is great. The doctor decided to take my wife to the maternity floor since she is a high risk pregnancy, funny thing is she is 7 months along. I was called daddy by the nurse and I loved the sound of that. The ultra-sound and heart beat, tests, everything shows that I am going to be a father of a boy. Right now he is on track, healthy, and looking good.

Monday we went to the specialist that helped with the fertility and he just laughed. We did too. Talk about short notice, 2 months if she goes full term. My wife has a couple visits a week from here on out, but it is worth it. Looks like I will be passing some fine steel down in the future.

I am so stoked! I need to get a Scrapivore and have it painted blue--but i guess I better start saving for diapers <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the thoughts and prayers. I know this much, I can't wait for him to get here!

Great news Jeff! Congratulations! I almost started to cry when I read your post. Didn´t know about all the problems you´ve encountered.

All my best to you, your wife and your baby!

That is awesome Jeff!

I know you and I have talked in the past about the road down fertility lane and man can it be a long and bumpy road. I'm so happy for you and your wife and may the future be bright and healthy for your family.

Congrats!! Prayer sent for mamma and child and there health!!!

Congratulations Jeff! We will keep your wife/child in our prayers. Back when we met, I was in the same boat having been told that I should never expect to procreate. After being told that, a son is probably the greatest gift a guy will ever receive. Mine has greatly changed my life for the better just in his first year and every day it gets more fun.

Congrats brother!

Thanks again guys. Everyday seems like it is dragging but in reality it is flying by. You guys know what I mean!
