I am hopeful because.. well, I'll let one of the ungranted wishes from Super Mario RPG do the talking for me..
"I hope my baby's cute!"
That's right. I'm going to be a dad!
We found out yesterday, though she's been thinking she might be pregnant for at least two weeks now: she's been unusually tired everynight for the past two weeks, and decided on a whim to take a pregnancy test. It said yes, and we've been to the doctor since and they confirmed it.
We won't know anything like gender or if she's carrying more than one for a while yet, but it's still exciting news. Her due date is pretty funny: June 1st, 09. One day over a year after we've been married. The date is subject to change, of course, but we thought it would be a nice anniversary present.
