We're having a baby! That's right, Jeni and I are on our way to becoming very proud parents. We're very happy about this decision which we have been thinking over and praying about seriously for several months. We're not very far along yet, just about 7 weeks, and the baby is due in early September. (For those of you keeping track, that means that August through October is going to be birthday party central at the Prices'.) Jeni will continue vet school as I take on the responsibility of caring for our new child, who goes by the pre-natal nickname 'Nessie.' This means that in addition to being your source for news about Jeni's adventures in vet school, Scotvet.net will also be the place to get all the updates on our journey to parenthood. Over the next week or so I will write about how we came to the decision to try to have a baby and what our plans are now that we're having one. We hope this will be a good way to share our lives and experiences with our friends and family, even though most of you are half a world away.
