It is VERY EARLY in the pregnancy.&#160; Yvonne is only 5 weeks along, so anything can happen at this point.&#160; That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s why we covet your prayers.&#160; Yvonne will be seeing the OB shortly, so we can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t confirm until then that the baby is good to go.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well this weekend I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve had quite a number of surprises.&#160; Yvonne for Father\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Day has been doing a multi-part father\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s day gift.&#160; For part one of four, on Thursday Yvonne gave me a great shirt.&#160; No, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not a Bucks shirt.&#160; It was a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Proud Daddy\u00e2\u20ac\u009d t-shirt.&#160; And yes, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m a proud daddy.
