I don't know if this can really be considered much of a blog since I only blogged once and then left this alone for almost a year. Anyway, since being on here last I haven't really raced seriously or what I would call seriously. But more importantly Emily and I are expecting! This is a huge answered prayer and I thank God everyday for the great gift he has bestowed upon us to care for. The miracle of pregnancy continues to amaze me everyday. Our child has reached its first milestone this week by graduating from an embryo to a fetus, as well as losing its tail this week. At least I hope our little Pat did. We are calling our fetus Pat for the time being since we do not know if it is a boy or a girl yet. Our due date is April 2nd and seems like an eternity away. Luckly we do get check-ups along the way that help ease the anticipation like our 8 week ultrasound. There we were able to not only see our child but hear the heartbeat and see it move. It can move! At the size of a grape it is just now begining to look like a child in there. Our next appointment is September 17 and we are told that it will look even more human at that ultrasound. I like having ultrasounds for two reasons: First and foremost it gives me a chance to see my baby and second it contains one of my favorite words(ultra). Speaking of ultra I don't have one directly on the schedule but I am training some and maybe can make a transition into a race between now and April if it is Gods will to do so.
