Teaching Myself a Lesson

Well, the baby is now 14 weeks along and seems pretty healthy, although I'm not a doctor so I guess we'll know for sure again on the 26th. We have still been doing what we can to get things ready for it's arrival. Stephanie just witnessed two of our friends give birth a day apart last week. Seeing the pictures of those babies helps to make it hit home. We're really ready to get all of our things in order and have been trying to take big steps forward in doing so.

Yesterday, we visited 3 houses in the Hartselle/Priceville area. After doing so, we've come to realize that we really like one in Hartselle that we had first seen a couple of weeks ago (pics in the slideshow section to the right). This will definitely be a learning experience about foreclosures for both of us. We may be making an offer soon after we see what the bank's stipulations are, etc. In case this doesn't work out, we definitely know the type of house we are looking for, and it looks there are some decent alternatives in the area.

Next week I will get the joy of working full-time and taking 6 hours of classes. Until now I have only taken a single class per semester. Although, I'm hoping this won't be too bad since one of the classes is practically review and done online. I am definitely going to have more of an insight on what I can handle when we have the baby around. My guess thus far is that I may be able to squeeze out one class in the spring if I can work it out to be online. However, the baby is priority numero uno and there's no rush in finishing up if Stephanie doesn't think it's a good idea.

As I progress in my blog maturity, along with possibly refreshing myself in some HTML, I will try to add little things to each entry. For starters, I am going to start having a comic strip/quote that allows myself or anyone else interested to foresee what I as a future dad have to look forward to. Today, I will start with a Baby Blues comic:
