How exciting is that!

Hello everyone! We've created this blog to try and keep everyone up-to-date on the Watson family happenings. Betsy and I have been married for ~8 and 1/2 years now (May 1999). On Thursday, September 20, 2007, we discovered we were pregnant (See below)! The due date is May 27th, 2008, roughly 9 years after we married. We had an appointment with Kathy Jantz, a Vanderbilt nurse, on Friday. Betsy wanted a specialist to see a positive and confirm that yes, indeed, she was pregnant, but the nurse felt that wasn't necessary. They did provide us with the forms we need to meet with a doctor at Vanderbilt. We used some of Saturday to look at Pregnancy books. On Sunday, we went to Toys 'R' Us and checked out baby clothes and toys. The delivery date is so far away that it just doesn't seem real. I'm fairly nervous -- how do you take care of a baby? I have no clue. Well, at least we have 9 months to develop a strategy. Betsy is hard at work finishing up her dissertation. We hope that she will be finished by March 2008. I'm searching for a post-doc and enjoying my time in the Miller lab. I'll post more as we discover new things about our newest family member.
