I would like to introduce you to my son/daughter. Kuulei is about 12 weeks along. We want to name him Ezekiel or name her Alette. I am really excited to be a new dad. I don't know anything about babies other than I know how to make them smile at me. I suppose that is what matters most, the rest I will pick up as I go along. I have always wanted to be a dad and I am happy that finally I can be. Our little angel coming soon has made Kuulei really sick though. She has had to go back to Utah without me in order to have better medical care. It is ok though, Kuulei can always use that as a guilt trip when our kid becomes a teen. The world has a lot of scary things that I know my child will be exposed to. I worry about that and wonder what sort of things I could do to help. At the same time, I know a lot of good things will happen too. What sort of things will my child accomplish, what sort of person will he/she become? What will he/she look like!? I bet he/she will have Kuulei's eyes. I think Forrest Gump said it best, "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are gonna get." With all the anxiety and wonder that I am starting to experience I think a good idea is to just enjoy the chocolate for what it is despite it's flavors. I am just looking forward to finding out if he/she will be a he or she so I won't have to say he/she anymore!

Congrats! Congrats! I already told you this but you can never hear it enough.
I love how excited you are to be a daddy. You're going to make a fantastic dad. I showed Anna a picture of you and Kuulei the other day and said, "Do you remember Nick the Knife?" And she really did! She even said, "That makes me a little bit sad." I think she was trying to say that it made her miss you but she didn't know how to say it. Congratulations - I'm excited to find out if he/she is a he or she, too!
It's so awesome when you reach the 12 week mark! You must feel proud! All the best - hope Kuulei is feeling better. Let us know if you guys need anything!
Oh my gosh that breaks my heart about Anna! I can tell you I miss her too. Who knows we may see her again if I end up at St. B's. Tell her Nick the Knife says hello.
Nick, Awwwe, you will be a great dad. I could not belive the adoration I felt for my children once they were born. Basically, they poop, eat, sleep and one day they smile, talk, crawl, walk and then that is when you should worry! J/K. The lucky thing is that they dont do it all at once. You get to start by just keeping your child warm, fed and loved. Everything else kinda just goes from there. Before you know it you are giving advice to a new parent to be. My advice is love them fiercely. Even if it means you look foolish to others. Follow your gutt!!! You will make a million mistakes (we all do) and if they know you love them they will forgive you and love you anyway! You and Kuulei will be fantastic! Make sure that you dote on her forever though. She is the mommy and deserves to be adored anyway. Tell her god luck with the sickness. Have her call me if she wants to complain about it. I TOTALLY KNOW HOW IT GOES!!! We love you guys! -Sarah
