Mr. Leavell Joins the Blog

If you have visited our blog before, you probably already know that all of the posts have been written by Jenn. Well, that is about to change. Please give a warm welcome to Mr. Leavell.

My previous obligation to this blog was simply to read the posts after Jenn wrote each one. Now if you think you are going to get the wit from me that my wife brings to the table, you are in for a huge disappointment. All I plan to bring to the table is my day-to-day experiences that you will hopefully enjoy reading about.

As you may already know, Jenn and I are expecting our first child next month and I will be the first one to say that I am very excited about it (the one downfall to not knowing the gender--we have an "it" baby) but extremely nervous at the same time. I am still wondering what my reaction is going to be when the baby arrives, and even though I don't know what that is at the moment, everyone around me seems to have that figured out already. Those reactions have varied from, "Cool, now what's the Colts score?" to "Awesome, let's go home" or me simply passing out. Well, if the baby arrives on a Sunday, then that first one might be accurate, but I will do my best to put the Colts on the back burner for at least one Sunday.

Even though I don't know what my reaction is going to be, I do know this: I can't wait for our first child to arrive. I can't think of anything else that could possibly bring all of these emotions going through me all at one time: scared, happy, nervous, excited. These past 8 months have been incredible and as the last one creeps closer and closer I can't help but think about one thing all of the time: how amazing my wife is and how lucky I am to have someone like her in my life. And soon, I'll have two.
