He's Alive...And That's Not All...

Yep....it's been 73 days since I lasted posted....and even worse....exactly 90 days since I last exercised. I say that to simply say that I've slacked off and taken several steps backwards. But, for this post, that's all I'm going to say about what I have or haven't done.

Some 32 years ago, around 7:00am on a Saturday morning, I made my grand entrance into this world. Yep, that's right, today is my Birthday. I'm not big on birthdays, especially my own, so on to other matters.

Some 75 days ago, January 26th, (yep, BEFORE my last post) my wife surprised me with this...


Yep! You guessed it we're expecting!! There's a little Disney Geek on the way!

Here's the first ultrasound from February 25th.


I still think I see either some Mickey ears or a Hidden Mickey in there somewhere!!

Our little Geek's due date is September 29th. So, Magic Meets is out, MouseFest is a probably not, but the 1/2 marathon is still on!

Melanie is into the 2nd trimester now and we heard the heartbeat a couple weeks ago. Several people we have told have asked us if this was a surprise. Well....yes and no. No, in the sense that we have been through 4+ years of doctors visits, tests, procedures and on the verge of spending several thousand dollars on in vetro. However, it was very much a surprise in that we had taken an almost 2 year break from the tests and procedures with the doctors and were not necessarily trying to conceive. So, needless to say we were both quite shocked and surprised to see those 2 blue lines after all we have been through.

As you can imagine, it's been a crazy last couple of months. But not nearly as crazy as what is to come!!!

Till Next Time...Keep Moving Forward!!!
