Whoa! How'd That Happen?

Not a single entry for this blog so far in 2010, but that's ok, because I think I've found a new use for it.

Breaking news here in the Heying house: We're in the process of adding a new resident, and I'm not talking about a third cat.

Teresa and I are having a baby!

These home tests don't lie. It took all of 30 seconds for this word to pop up. The most exciting aspect of this for Teresa was that she had a $3 off coupon for the home pregnancy test. You can take the girl out of the farm, but you can't take the farm out of the girl.

Dr. Bradley is going to see us through this joyful process and that's pretty great. Dr. Bradley was already a personal friend of ours and having him helping us and answering the thousands of questions these first-time parents have is a relief. The only drawback? Having a Kansas State alum deliver our first-born. I suppose I'll let it slide.


Teresa always said she wanted twins. About a year from now, I guarantee you she's going be saying "Thanks God we didn't have twins."

Here are the answers to the obvious questions you all have:
1. No, we won't find out if it's a boy or a girl.
2. Arrival time is latter half of September
3. Yes. I am the father.
4. We haven't picked names. But bids on naming rights begin at $50,000.
5. Yes. We're elated.

WOO-HOO!!!!!!! I just want to go on the record and state that although will have be provided with a normal "Bob" or "Jane" name...I will put money on Teresa calling the kid nub, toot, or snuggy before this is all over. Congratulations...

Dude, a big high-five / slap on the back / hearty handshake to you. I owe you a drink in St. Louis.

I am so happy for you two! Wow. And yay! Baby B. is thrilled to have a friend to play with soon, too. (Our little one literally is kicking me as I type this!)

Teresa, no wonder you looked so beautiful and happy when I saw you at WSU on Thursday!

Can't wait to have a set of first-time parents nearby so we can share our experiences!

Hugs to the growing family!

Lori & Brian

I hope said doctor did not get his M.D. at K-State... those are called Vets. Though I have often considered they are probably the more skillful of the two. Congratulations. We are so happy for you two. Get ready for lots of unsolicited, but well-meaning, advice. hahaa
