Today, we got the official news! My wife is pregnant. Love for this not-yet-whole being has already shaken my heart so why not blog about it!
For part of our honeymoon, my wife and I went to the beautiful Island of Lesbos (how awesomely cliche?!). Lesbos is the birthplace of Sappho, a wonderfully romantic Greek poet from 6th century BCE who partook in the love of women (a very good choice, if you ask me). For each posting, I am going to attempt to attach a quote from one of Sappho's pieces. We shall see how it goes!!
It has been quite a journey to get here so please feel free to follow the story of our adventure into motherhood as it unfolds.

Love shook my heart
Like the wind on the mountain
rushing over the oak trees.
