Baby On Board

So I woke up this morning and had a revelation, I am an adult. Being 22 you would think that I would have realized this just a tad bit soon, but truthfully though I may have thought it a few times I dont think that it truly hit me until today. I think that it was a little kick that brought this revelation to my attention. My wife and I were sitting in the living room, watching one of the many home remodeling shows that we are both insanely addicted to, when she called me over to feel the baby kick. Oh, by the way, for those of you who are not "in the know" my wife Kyleigh and I are expecting a little girl in April. So, after pulling myself out of a bathroom remodeling trance I walked over to the couch and put my hand on her stomach. I have gone through this a few times in the last few weeks but up to that point I had felt nothing. But as I sat there pondering why the couple on TV ever thought that pink tile was the way to go I felt a small kick.

The power behind that little kick amazed me. It was as if she was saying " hey I am here and I will be out there soon so you better be ready." At this juncture I would like to make one think clear. I have not been living in a closet the last 5 months. I did know that my wife was pregnant and that the end result of that would be a baby that I was responsible for. I had seen the sonograms at the doctors office, where they pointed out the little hands and feet and told us the gender. But, at that moment when she kick my hand it was as if it all became unbeleivably real.

Now I begin to wonder how am I going to mold this young mind that I am bringing into the world. How will I know what to do with a child when sometimes I feel as though I am still one? As I pondered these things I began to realize that there was only one thing to do in this situation, run from the room screaming, no not really. But I did realize that turning this over to the Lord was the only option in this situation. Many times that does not even cross our minds when we encounter hardship. Instead we wonder what it is that we will do next and how it will affect us.

So there is a baby on the way in the Brewer household and we are more then just excited. But I am warning you to be ready. Because in a few months you might be sitting at home and here the phone ring. When you answer it I might be on the other end screaming. So be ready because I am putting everyone on speed dial.
