Parenthood Martin

I guess it’s the 21st century when you’re communicating pregnancy announcements via weblog.  We’ve been keeping it pretty quiet, but at this point we’re excited to share the news.  According to the plastic dial in the OBGYN office, Rachel and I will be entering the world of parenthood on November 3rd, 2009.

We won’t know gender for a few weeks, but we do know that all the signs point to a healthy baby.  We’ve seen our little fella’ squirm on a black and white screen, we heard the heartbeat on Tuesday, and last night Rachel felt a little flutter in her belly.  It’s all starting to feel very real at this point.  So I thought I would send a quick note to our future child….

Dear [Insert Future Name Here] Ash-  If this blog is still live 6 years from now when you’re reading, know that this is the day we told the world you were on the way.  If this blog  is still live 15 years from now, you’re probably deathly embarrassed that it exists.  If it’s still around 30 years from now, you’re as old as I was when I wrote this entry.

But as I write this today, you’re just the size of an apple with a heart beating 150 times per minute inside Rachel’s belly, and we’re both really excited to meet you.

Oh, and if by chance we haven’t introduced you to him yet, that’s Steve Martin in the picture up top from the movie Parenthood.  We plan to use that movie as a parenting guide, so you’ll have to let us know how that turns out.

See you soon..
