    i had not been visiting the board for some time until just recently, so a lot of you don't even know me, but i wanted to announce that my wife and i are having a baby. we just found out not too long ago. today, though, was amazing! we had our first ultrasound. this is our first child, and to see it actually moving even though it is so tiny, well, i just can't describe it. i am so stoked! it made it so much more real than it already was. our due date is august 23rd...wow, i still can't get over it! anyway, hope all of you are happy and well, i myself couldn't be happier this evening. - nate

    CONGRADULATIONS!

    I hope you enjoy being a parent as much as I have. My first was born in an Army hospital in Germany and I was allowed to be in the delivery room, that was 1972. The second was a hospital in North Carolina, and they wouldn't allow me in, made me wait four floors below. I didn't care much for that, naturally.

    To me, having my daughters and watching them grow and now, seeing them as adults having their own families makes my life grand. I can't tell you how tickled I am that neither one followed me in getting involved with the JWs and now, they are tickled that I have left them.

    Enjoy the kids, they do make life worthwhile, even the bad times (like messy diapers)
