We had Thanksgiving dinner at my sister-in-law's place. We discussed not telling anyone until the first trimester had passed but she couldn't resist.
Everyone there was happy to hear the news.
My wife asked her niece to be the godmother of the baby. On the way home I mentioned to her that perhaps her twin sister might have wanted to be the godmother.
She doesn't think it's a big deal, but we'll find out.

Thanksgiving
We have much to be thankful for. However, we're wondering whether to inform family members about the pregnancy since we haven't yet completed the first trimester. We probably will.
On a different note, never have I received so much advice from so many different people. Everyone wants to share their experiences.
Biggest question i've received: Do you want to know the sex of the child?
First time i was asked this question, without pause I answered with the staple response: Doesn't matter which just as long as it's healthy.
I didn't really think about it but i guess that's everyone's feeling on the matter...until they start thinking about their lives with a child, boy or girl. Hm...maybe one of each.
On a completely off topic subject: My vote for the Celebrity Porn Video pool: Christina Aguilera. With such a dramatic change from her initial appearance on the celebrity radar, i wouldn't be surprised.

A week ago my wife informed me she was pregnant. I thought about it for the last couple of days and decided to create this to give us a glimpse of what will be happening to us.
Which way we look at it, whether from an expectant father or a clueless husband, we will see.
Yesterday we had our first sonogram. We found out that my wife is no more than 5 weeks pregnant since about the 6th week is when the instruments can detect a heartbeat, the number of babies to expect and the shape of the "occupant" as the technician put it.
My wife found it as somewhat of a downer because she expected something other than "I don't know" but as they explained it's just too early to say anything definitive except that the sack is just where it's supposed to be and that her right ovary is where the egg came from.
