So, here we are just a few weeks away from the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me in my life....Jeremiah Justus McCoy. Wow, this is the first time that I've seen his name written. Just seeing his name for the first time has got me all choked up. It's the same name that will be on his Christmas stocking, his report card, his football jersey, and someday his driver's liscence. I hope he likes it. If not, it was Keely's idea!
I've decided to start this blog so that those whom we love, yet live so far away, can share in this miraculous moment with us. Let me just recap the last 8 months with you: Keely feels sick, Keely loses appetite, Keely gets moody, Keely gets appetite back, Keely gets moody, Keely's ankles swell up, Keely feels woozy, Keely gets moody, Keely wants to punch Brad in the face. So here I sit with a black eye waiting eagerly for my little boy to come and end all of this madness. God bless my wife, though. She's had to cope with her changing body and emotions while raising a 10 year old boy and his thickheaded father. She's an amazing woman and that's why I love her.
So with this inaugaral address I'll leave you with this: THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS. I've been reading books and trying to prepare myself to care for this little life that is going to cling to me and rely on me for everything. I'm amazed, confused, anxious, scared, excited, nervous and Caleb and I are ready to recrute our newest member of the "No Girls Allowed" club. Poor Keely. Now I can begin to see what it was like for my mother!
Stay tuned for updates and photos.

Great idea, Brad. Now you'll be able to keep those of us out on the west coast updated. I expect DAILY pictures of the wee one.
Brad, Keely, (and JJ),
My trip for this Wed, Thu, & Fri has been scratched. Our bags are packed and we are waiting for "the call". We are so excited!! Judy is also a little apprehensive. She just hopes she remembers all the little do's and don'ts of childcare for infants. It has been over 25 years, you know. Oh well, you McCoy boys are a pretty tough lot and managed to survive are of the litte mistakes that we made with you. We'll probably call you tonight for an update.
Love,
Dad
Hey you guys! I am so excited for the arrival of the little one. We've got a package together to send to you, and it should be in the mail on Thursday. Sorry it's so late! Take special care of our Keely, Brad! Love you all!
