24 weeks until I'm a Daddy

Daddy Excerpt #1: Erin gets a lot of attention at the doctor's offices, the midwife meetings, the prental classes and from the various family phone calls. Of course this makes sense. She's the one the tests need to be carried out on and the one we need to make sure is healthy and happy. Her hair will become healthier, her skin will glow, her cheeks become rosier, all as her belly gets bigger. In the background, Dad sits, stands and smiles : ) I have posted just once thus far, but we have negotiated sharing the keyboard once every two weeks so I can try to explain the fulfilling life of Dad as he sits, stands and smiles : )

I think Erin has told you already that she occasionally sees a 'belly' when the light is just right or when the tides are in. The sonograms were nice. Gave us pictures of what's going on inside, but is it still in there? Was it trick photography? No, it's true!!! I can finally 'see' the first real signs that we're pregnant. Her belly is really showing, so I know it's not the brownies or the pasta or the late night ice cream. The books tell you morning sickness, uncontrollable burps, pallet changes and tenderness are signs of hormonal changes and pregnancy, but none of that becomes real until you 'see' it. I'm going to be a Dad and that little bump is all I need to keep me smiling : )
