Becoming a Dad and Realizing It!

Over the past four months learning that I am going to be dad has been quite a roller coaster of emotion for me! Those that know me well, know that I have always been very excited and could not wait to have children. At the very same time that I was excited, I started thinking: Would I be a good father? Could I provide for my family, take care of my wife and now, new child? Would I get it? I mean seriously, you have to have a license to drive, a permit to build, permission to sell hot dogs on the corner, get approval from the City Counselor and Board of Health to have a restaurant, and the only prerequisite to having a child is, well NOTHING!

There is so much to take into consideration. I have been recently reading “The Expectant Father”, which has taken me slowly but surely through the steps of fathers that are expecting. Reading it month by month during the pregnancy has put some fears behind me, and has comforted me that all I am thinking and feeling is normal! Well, that’s certainly a relief!

None-the-less, I am very excited about our Baby Girl! Thinking about being a father brings so much joy to my heart, but it makes me even more in love with my wife (don’t worry sweetheart, I haven’t already forgotten about you in all of this ;)
