What A Cute Little Man

Any Advice?

What an awesome privilege it is to be entrusted with a little baby girl. Kristin and I are so excited to be parents. I am sure that there will be good times, bad times, hard times, and fun times. At this point we are still trucking along in our well ordered lives and I have a feeling that our lives will look much much much different in about 4 months. If any parents out there have any advice that they would like to leave here as "comments" we would love to read it.

Large Onion

The little one is officially the size of a large onion. We are not talking about a small onion, a green onion, or even a medium sized onion. We are talking about a LARGE onion!

This whole pregnancy thing sure is an educational experience for a guy. For instance I had no idea that a little baby could be compared to so many different fruits and foods. I have also learned the benefits of squatting during pregnancy to help in child birth. Many things I have learned would probably be inappropriate to share on this here blog.

10th Week

Kristin actually heard a tiny little heartbeat inside of her a couple of days ago. We are getting more and more excited as time moves on. So far, I haven't experienced any morning sickness... just one of the benefits of being a man I guess. Kristin, however, hasn't been so fortunate. It certainly could be worse, but she has had a few days of feeling bad.

Baby Crouch on the way!!!

It's true, we're pregnant! Actually it is mostly Kristin who is pregnant, but you know what I mean. We are expecting around June 24th. We are hoping that it will be a boy or a girl. I have read that in the 5th week (now) it looks more like an extra small tadpole than a baby and it is the size of a sesame seed. Pretty wild huh? We serve an amazing God.

Psalm 139:13-14
For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
