I originally wrote this the night we found out we were pregnant, its time to share it.

I cant post this yet, which is torture, but I needed to write it down now, so this was actually written Monday May 7th 2007.

So this weekend goes down in the memory books as one of the biggest and life changing events so far in the life of Greg and Jackie. In the days leading up to Sunday night my heart was telling me that something was true, the signs where there, but the proof was not. We needed the proof. So Jackie bought a Pregnancy test, and 3 minutes turned into a life time. The result? and there you have it. Sometime in January 2008 a new member of the Hogan family will appear. I said I knew in my heart long before the test confirmed that it was true, I have known in my heart for about 3 days. Seeing Joey and Kelly with Danny this weekend, as he sat on the table taking his first real bites of food I knew I wanted to be a Dad, I needed to be a Dad. My life is changing, my heart is growing, and God has decided that now is the time. We did not plan this, God planned this. This reminded us that we are not in control, as much as we like to think we are. But God has new plans, bigger plans, and now we will honor those plans. It’s time to change course, and bring some new love into the world.

How do I feel? Thrilled, overwhelmed, excited, scared, mellowed, serious, calm, nervous…the list goes on, but over all I feel blessed and am very proud of my wife. I look forward to our family.
