A New McCall
Being called Daddy is a consideration that is by far the furthest thing from my mind as Dana and I count down the days to leave for Africa. Or at least it was the furthest thing. Dana woke up on July 1 not feeling so well. To motivate curiosity was the fact that she was also late on her cycle. To Walgreen’s I went. Did you know there are digital pregnancy tests?! Cool.
By the end of the day our lives had changed, once again. Dana is (by our guesstimate) about 5 weeks pregnant. According to two online calculators, this puts her due date at February 29, 2008. Missionary. Moving to Africa. Daddy. I am really looking forward to taking care of my Dana and my baby. It is of GREAT relief to have the One who made life itself to be my strength. Wow, what a life I tell ya…

Huge congratulations!
Feb 29, 2008!!?? Do you realise that means your bub could be one of those people who takes four years to turn one year older???
Thanks, Paul!
Nat-I did just realise that means the lil freeloader won’t leave the house until 2080…
Any suggestions on how to induce labor on the 28th?
Wait til the first of March, I reckon. (You know, one of the preggo books I was reading said that if your baby arrives on its due date then you’re just showing off. So you’d get a double whammy if it really came on the 29th!)
Congratulations!!!
Congratulations! I am so excited for you both. Children are such a blessing from God! And having nine months to get used to the idea of being a parent is a blessing from God as well…
Congrats!!! daddy and mommy
