Double-D: Amatuer Writer

Obviously, I wrote some posts before we were ready to make the big announcement.

For every New Year, I usually like to make predictions of the year ahead of us. This is the first year that seems overwhelming and mostly unknown to me. I’m not one to like surprises but it seems like the next 20+ years are all going to a surprise.

Somedays, I bounce between being very excited and happy and being scared shitless. I doubt that I will be good at this parenting thing. I’m not so good at this pregnancy thing. I whine a lot and I let the symptoms get to me a lot of the time. I’m a worrier by nature and that only makes it all worse.

This year, I will tackle a lot of things. David and I are starting a brand new adventure that neither us have experience before. It’s like going extreme bungee jumping over a lake of fire that’s filled with snapping alligators. It’s frightening and exhilarating. Everyday is a new test of our strengths and is stretching our personalities and our skills. I only hope that each day gets more exciting and I’m completely up for the challenge.
