OK . . . so in the very beginning Jeff and I kept asking the question, Are we really ready for this little one that is going to be coming in our lives? We ponder the thought of being parents and both know that even though people thought we were ready and that we would make great parents, we really felt unprepared to be parents. My one true fear in life is that I would not be a parent that my child needed. That is the one thing that scared me the most is that my one failure in life is not raising my child to respect others and be their own person at the same time. Would my child follow in Gods footsteps? All these questions that go through my head and work there way into scaring me at night sometimes. Jeff and I at one point thought we had a handle on this emotion but the other day we went baby registering at Babies-R-Us and found our selfs scared out of our minds. Not to mention overwhelmed in the thought of what we need to prepare the house and our selves with for the baby. Jeff and I had some sort of practice with Lexi, Kyle and Jacob sometimes but we were hoping for more practice moments before we even thought of having a little one of our own. I know Jeff and I will be fine and I thank those people who were willing to listen to us and give us some helpful pointers. So this message is more of a ramble session then anything else. Thanks for your time.

the thing Allison and i have learned is that you're never ready. no one is until you do it. you just jump in with both feet and have a lot of on the job training.
you and Jeff will be great parents. i'm excited for you guys!
Don't worry kid, you'll do fine. Your mother and I are still learning how to raise you kids, just like your grandparents are still learning (although grandma might say different). The thing to remember is that all the books, videos, and talk shows should be used for reference.
