My first wish and hope for our child is that he (I can say that now) be born healthy. I am truly excited to be having a baby boy and have someone coming along to carry on the Gregory name and to fish, hunt, workout, and play with in the years to come. My second hope is that Brittnee and I can raise him to be a good son, possibly a good big brother one day, and a faithful man of God.
I don't know how to be a father yet. I'm not sure that any of us ever really know how to be a perfect parent...or even that there is one perfect plan for all families that would work. I am blessed to have a dad that raised me and my brother and sister in the church. We were raised very early on to believe that everyone went to church and that's just the way it was. I'm thankful for that because without my Christian faith I would not have made it to where I am in life. I'm grateful for the lessons my dad has taught me about hard work (somebody can show him my FB post from June 2013 on Father's Day). I'm also thankful to have a mom who has always been there and willing to help me out in any way possible, whether is was with school work, financially, or needing a ride somewhere. I hope that Brittnee and I can be the parents to our son that y'all have been to me.
I can only wonder what kind of trouble our son and his big cousin Wilson will get into over the next few years. I have a feeling that mom and dad will go gray in a hurry! But I do look forward to our little one getting to learn from Wilson and having him, Kat, and Caleb to watch and learn from since they're a couple years ahead of us on all this parenting stuff.
The name we have chosen is meaningful to Brittnee and me. Thomas Dean Gregory. Thomas is after her grandpa, Dean is from Deanie my grandma.

We are thankful for all of the love and support that we have from our families and we will need much more of it over the months and years to come.
