Derek's First Post

Hey folks, I want a lot of comments out of this. Before I can have my dinner Amy wants me to write a post to the blog. We had a nice day to take a picture and Amy's comment was "the last one you took is very nice because I don't look absolutely hideous." I told her that she never looks absolutely hideous.

It's been really neat the past couple of weeks because I've actually been able to feel the little guys moving around. Kind of weird feeling something poking out of my wife's stomach! Actually saw a little jab as well with a little bubble popping up on Amy's belly. At night Amy sometimes tells me that they're being active and that she just wants to go to sleep. I'll put my hand on her belly to see if I can feel them and then they stop before I even put my hand on there. I guess they know when Dad's around they'd better shape up and stop messing around. I really don't think anybody is going to mistake me for the disciplinarian between the two of us and it's not going to be a household where Amy is frustrated and says "wait until your dad gets home." That is the one thing I'm most nervous about is when they are old enough to talk back and how I'll respond. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

We're starting to get the nursery around. We know what we're going to do with the colors (so I've been told). It's just amazing the amount of stuff 2 little people require. I haven't even heard of half of the stuff we've registered for but if the boss says we need it, well then by golly we need it.

I guess that's it. I don't have too much more to say. If you want to know anything that I didn't say above, go ahead and ask a question in the comment section.
