Suprises Like Lying?

As I sit here, part of me just wants the weekend to come and Go...

The Baby Shower will be over and at least until closer to Kay's B-day or Christmas, there will be no more surprises i have to keep from her. 1. I am terrible at it, I almost blow the surprise all the time, just wanting to tell her cuz i am so excited and 2. I feel like i am keeping something from my wife, something I do not like to do at all... Open and Honest is our relationship, and I feel surprises are almost like lying, cuz at times I even have to do that to save the surprise.
I know its not like flat out lying, but at the same time, she asks me a question that I have to skirt the issue or flat out lie to her, I cannot help but feel bad.

I love my wife, and I want the surprises to be special and make the shower all the more special, but i cant help but feel guilty for not telling the whole truth...

Am I stupid for feeling this way?

Returning

I may only write this for myself, it may never get read, but I have decided to use this blog as a way to put my feelings down on virtual paper, if you will, and chronicle my life in the last trimester and into the birth of my daughter. Balancing my new family, my extended family, my job, my church, and the ministries God has placed me in.
So if you are interested at all in me, or to see what happens on this journey join me....


HERE WE GO...

We are officially in the third trimester, however if you go off the second due date we were given we are a week into it...
I feel a rush of emotions, excitement leads the pack, as well as a feeling of anxiousness, or impatience i guess waiting for the day to arrive. I would be lying if i were to say there was no nerves, or fright as it comes. I have never been a dad, and although i have been around lots of kids and did a lot of baby sitting, newborns are a little out of my realm of comfortably.
We received good news yesterday, Bentlie Grace's kidneys are measuring a lot closer to normal, and the doc at St. Luke's says there may be no issue at all, we will return Nov 8, for a follow up, but prayers are being answered and the princess seems to be coming along just fine.

That's all for now, be Blessed
