Elvis is leaving the building!
Things are progressing rather quickly these days. Seems like Thanksgiving was just last week, but guess what, Christmas is just 10 days from now. Very busy time of the year with all the shopping and trying to see family and so on.
But there is something else going on in our life right now. Something that will literally change life as we know it, a baby is coming. Ya! That’s right for those that don’t know it we are pregnant with our first child, a baby boy (Reese) that will be here very, very soon. Carly had a doctor’s appointment today and was told that the baby has/is in the process of dropping. Looks like the little fella is starting to head out! We just may have ourselves a Christmas baby.
Gotta be honest with you, its a little scary knowing that in a week or so we will have a kid. Not just a kid, but OUR child, my son, our first born. Wow! I’m just so excited, nervous, anxious, proud and a whole bunch of other feelings wrapped up into one.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what it means to be a father, about what a responsibility it is. I’ve been digging through my life and trying to decide if the things I find are qualities I want my child to see in his father. I’ve come up with things I need to change in my life, some things I need to continue in doing, and some that I need to be more diligent in doing.
Glad to know I am not the only one that was having those fears/thoughts/concerns/panic attacks.
I am sure as the day gets closer it has to become more and more real (scary). Always know that Jenny and I will be here to help in anyway we can, as for me, knowing that the support system of our friends being there has allowed me to stay sain =).
