The best thing I ever made.

Around two weeks ago, Terri stopped me as i was going to the kitchen. She was holding on to the door of our funky bathroom, beaming me a look as though she had either broken my bass or had done something really cool. Well, the latter happened.

(We) are pregnant.

My biological part of the job is done for now.

I have been going through a roller coaster of emotions. I have been trying to figure out what it is to become a father and can only sight the two examples of dads that I have, my awesome father and my equally awesome step father.

But, it's something i'll have to work on and the eighteen to twenty year road ahead of me is going to be just as much of a learning experience for Terri and i, as it is for our child.

To tell you the truth, up until last Wednesday I was scared shit less.

That's when we went for the ultrasound.

Somewhere between the two cross hairs, is our embryo. Secure in a sack of amniotic fluid with a heart. A heart!

The little thing looked like a baby alien but it's a product of our love for each other and it's also the best thing I ever made.

All of my fears have fallen to the wayside. I am beyond happy and my goal until September 16th is to be there for Terri at the drop of a hat, maintain our home and learn as much as I can about children and being a dad.

I will be posting blogs (Matt you aren't the only one, Mr. Fancy Pants!) under the PRE WAR CONDITION moniker for you to see.

I think it's also going to be the name of my musical project...woah, lost my train of though here.

O.k.
