Hormones are Crazy!
Came home from dropping a kid off after church... Jane was on the couch bawling her eyes out. She was reading a book and the husband character had an anniversary evening planned for his wife in their back yard in a teepee. Apparantly, teepees are romantic. She cried for at least ten minutes. (note to self: figure out how to get a teepee to fit in our 5' x 8' apartment patio by next April)

We're Already the Lazy Bloggers!!
How typical...man and woman find out they are pregnant, man and women get excited, man and woman create blog, man and woman fail to utilize blog; thus leaving a vast number of people in the dark as to the latest happenings with the Lillie baby and parentals!
And with that out of the way, Jane and I went to our first appointment this morning. :) And as exciting as it was, I now know why they told her that I didn't need to come to this appt. The appt. consisted of going into a small room where a lady gave Jane a giant stack of papers to fill out. I think the only question on any of the forms that Jane needed any assistance on was "what countries are ancestors of the father from?" It was cool, however, to be identified as the father. I have been thinking a lot about fathers lately and what that role really entails. I love Jesus' use of the word Father every time he talked to God. To reflect to the love of the ultimate Father seems such a daunting task, yet such a noble calling.
After watching Jane beautifully fill out a stack of papers, I went to the lab with her and watched her give some blood. I love the testimony Jane gets to share with people when it becomes apparent that she has maintained an unusual (by the world's standards) purity through her life. The lab tech was truly befuddled at how one can maintain a lifestyle of sexual purity in today's world. :)
June 8th is our first ultrasound appointment. We will find out (as exactly as possible) how many weeks along we are, and if there is one or more babies in there! For whatever reason, I think it would be cool to have twins. Jane thinks one would be enough. But seriously, if we could have more kids with fewer pregnancies, I'm down for that!
Continue to pray with us for our baby, it's health, Jane's health, and our future.

Bloggin' It
So here it is...this is the beginning of the blog that will revolutionize the blogging world! The Blog will never be the same following the entry of the Lillie family into the blogosphere. Since both of us have family in places other than the suburban paradise known as Livermore, CA, we decided it was time to begin the blogination of our yet-to-be-born baby. We hope that our blog is a place where the people close to us (yet geographically distant) can enjoy our baby and can be a part of his or her life! Be sure that there is more to come!
