From out of nowhere...............

It's been a while since I have updated, mainly because I started another blog dedicated to an entirely seperate aspect of my life that was important enough that it have it's own "space". I am going to be a father, and being inspired by another parent's blog which I frequent daily (www.dooce.com), I decided to satrt a blog for my baby. One day, I hope the Baby will read the posts Chelle and I have written about this wonderful journey that has became a family. The blog is located at www.incelebrationofyou.blogspot.com. I will still update here from time to time, but it seems to me that the Baby, not myself, is the new focus of my heart and attention.
Honestly, I didn't believe it at first. The little line on the test was so faint, I told Chelle it was just the outline of where the line should be. But then her period never came, and the Second testing period, which consisted of three test over two days, were undeniable. When the first of these tests showed a darker line, I said Shit while standing in the bathroom looking at the test. I am excited to be a Daddy, it is a blessing and only came to be when I finally met the women who I was meant to be with.
I am almost completely recovered from my motorcycle accident, I just finished being treated for a pinched sciatic nerve that I had thought was a torn hamstring because of the pain I was having in my right leg. My ribs have healed, my collarbone has mended, even though it looks odd protruding from my shoulder the way it does now. My neighbor told me that the accident set my life on a different course. In the aftermath of it I conceived a child, started a different job, and have been trying to make more progress in my emotional growth with Chelle. It's funny how in life even the accidents serve a purpose, sometimes in the moment we cannot see just how profund the changes can be. Many positive things have occured between Chelle and I since we learned that we would be parents. Most notably the party has come to an end, no more alcohol every night, and even though I am not a big drinker, my nightly appointment with my smirnoff and cranberry juice was getting to be a ritual. But in the process of drinking every night Chelle and I were putting progress on our relationship on hold, and I for one am glad to see things back on track.
This is just the beginning of something wonderful, which is funny because I already felt that just from the fact that I was sharing my life with such an amazing woman. We don't know if it is going to be a boy or girl yet, but nevertheless it will be loved and cared for just the same. When we ate Chinese buffet a few weeks back, we used the astrology calendar to figure out what sign the baby would be born under. It's going to be a Rat, with a Snake for a Daddy and a Dragon for a Mommy. It's going to be interesting, I cannot wait! :)
