Friday Link Love – Bun In the Oven Edition

If you’ve stumbled upon my blog even once this week, you know that my wife and I just found out we’re expecting our 2nd child. This week has brought me the full range of emotions and right now I’m sitting on joy.

Joy because I know I’m going to be a better father this time around as I correct the mistakes from my last 16 months. Joy because we’re stable enough financially to welcome our new child with little pain. Joy because I don’t want to be anything but joyful about my new son or daughter.

I can’t wait to be a new dad all over again!
