Here's another thing on a huge list of things I never thought of when becoming a dad......the emotions you feel just before you meet your new baby.
I know that by this time next week, when I blog to all you guys, I should have my baby boy or girl next to me and I start thinking am I as good a person as I think I am? Just how much will my life change? Even more than it has already......
I'd like to think people see me as an honest, fun loving, relaxed sort of guy. Who is willing to give hugs out for free, to having a listening ear for anyone who needs it and to be never too busy that work gets in the way of living.
I know I'll cry when I see this baby! Any one who knows me, knows that I wear my heart on my sleeve and I know there is no shame in this but I didn't think that already I would be so protective over this little one and when I am having my quiet times, that the only thing I think about is this little one, what they look like? What they will be like? Here's hoping they have my wife's beautiful looks, brains and compassion, with a small scattering of things from me. This all tears me up, I can feel it coming over me and there is little I can do about it. I could be walking the dogs, driving, anything and all I think of is already I would give my life for this little one.
So......am I a good person? I am. Ofcourse I could be better and I will strive to be the best I can be, never to busy to play, help, listen and give hugs & kisses when needed to this little one.
Each day gets me closer to being the man I want my baby to grow wanting to be or to have in their life.
Enough of this rambling, I could be here all day waffling. We are now +3 and hoping not too much longer to go.
Becoming Dad......
