The Announcement
I have known the information I’m about to share for a couple of weeks now. To be completely honest it has been absolutely killing me that I couldn’t share it with everyone. If I had my way I would have been posting this little tidbit of information the day after I found out, but I knew that wasn’t the best way to go about it. Now that we have verfication though, I feel it is time. So without further adoo…
After trying for what seemed like an eternity, but was only about a year, and almost giving up, I am happy to say that I am going to be able to share all of my outdoor experiences with a little one of my own. In case you missed it, what I’m saying is we’re pregnant!!!!!!
I am so completely excited. I can hardly contain myself to be honest. This is something that the wife and I have been wanting for quite a while and we were starting to think that maybe it wasn’t going to happen, but god proved us wrong once again. Did I mention I’m soooo excited?
I love that now I will be able to have a chance to share in the experiences that Jeff, Kris, and plenty of other bloggers have had. It seemed I was always leaving comments on different sites about how I couldn’t wait to have kids so that I could share my love of the outdoors with them. Well guess what? Now I can and it is so awesome.
I am a little nervous too, but that is to be expected. I just can’t wait to have a kid of my own and be able to pass down the things that I love so much. A little buddy to take fishing, hunting, and everywhere else we decide to go. I truly can’t believe it is happening and it is a dream come true.
Right now I have to be honest and say that I’m rooting for a girl, but I will take whatever comes my way. I have a feeling it is a girl, but we will just have to wait and see. We went to our first doctor’s appointment tonight and the due date is October 18th. A fall baby and that is sooooo sweet! I’m like a little kid at Christmas. I just can’t help it.
So I am sorry I teased everyone yesterday and I hope I didn’t disappoint. My post was completely true though, because our mission statement does involve kids and we always try and gets kids involved and this news just takes that to a whole new level.
SimplyOutdoors will never be the same and I am absolutely fine with that. Jenn and I are going to appreciate every minute of it!

CONGRATULATIONS to you both!!! How exciting and you are sure showing it. And rooting for a girl? How cute is that!
Best of luck to you both and keep us posted on all the upcoming exciting months.
Congratulations,
but if I had known it would make you so happy, I would have given you a couple of mine.
Congrats Arthur!
It really is great to have a little one to share your love of the outdoors with! they certainly change your life!
Arthur,
That is awesome! Congratulations to you both.
Having children is truly one of life’s biggest blessings, so I am stoked that you will get to experience it. And we ended up with two boys, but I always said that it didn’t matter to me… as long as they were healthy, that was all I could ask.
Congratulations! Plan on hunting as much as you can before Oct. 18 because you can forget about the rest of the season. But seriously, that’s great news.
Congratulations to you and Jenn. That is awesome news.
I’m willing to guess that everyone is a little nervous at first, but I know you and Jenn will be great parents. I can’t wait to read all your stories about introducing your son or daughter to the outdoors. How cool will that be?
I’m excited for you both. Make sure you give us frequent updates.
By the way, are you going to find out if it is a boy or a girl before the baby comes?
As a proud mom and grandmother–having children is the best thing that will happen to you–except for a few months when you never get any sleep; and when they’re teenagers, when you never know what will happen next. As everyone will tell you, your life will never be the same–but you know that, that’s why you want children! Congratulations.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
I am very excited for you! First the bathroom reno and now this!
Congratulations!
It will change your life in ways you can’t imagine now, but it will be awesome! I’m excited for you and hoping that your wife isn’t as sick as I was…
Great news! I had an inkling that was what you were leading upto. Catching your mission statement to get young ones involved with the outdoors. A whole lot of good things to happen in the future. Congrats to you and your wife!
Congrats, again!!! You know, I think that you might want to reconsider the girl thing:) I will let you have Kylie for a weekend and see if that changes your mind!!! Just kiddin. Havin a girl will change your life completely.
That is awesome news, the best is yet to come.
Great news Arthur. Congratulations.
