Nina, dear friend- thank you for your congratulations and prayers, they mean alot to me.
Raven, David, Mike, Isabella, and Tigg - thank you so much for your prayers and congratulations, you all rock
Shannon - Yes, we already have 3 midwifes in mind that we want to interview, one of the ladies goes to my parish. I think you would enjoy talking to my wife she holds many of the same birthing and parenting philosophies as you do. Also I will take a look at your book recommendation.
Helen - Thank you for the congratulations and the book recommendation, I will definitely check it out.
All - I would be remiss if I didn't recommend something that has been of great benefit to me and my spiritual life. Please check out this site:

On there you will find great homilies by FSSP priests. The most recent one is on spiritual fatherhood. I listened to it yesterday while at work, and thought it to be so edifying, that I emailed the homily to all the fathers and fathers-to-be that I knew.
Little did I know that later that night my wife would tell me that I am no longer a father-to-be but actually am now a father.
My heart lept with so much joy.
I hope to come on here once or twice more before the birth with updates. And come late February/March, I hope to share pictures with you all.
Pax tecum,
Brian
