Nothing can prepare you for the birth of your first child. Not books or parents or well intentioned friends. Not siblings or grandparents. Of all the firsts in my life, this was by far the scariest, most exciting, private experience two people could share.
Honey, I have great news! I think I'm pregnant!
Are you sure? Have you seen the doctor? Do you need to sit down? I think I need to sit down!
I'm not sure we can afford it. Sure we can. What's one more tiny mouth to feed anyways. Should we tell our folks?Let this be our secret for now. Wow! Wow!
I want to do so much for my family. I have great dreams for this child. Oh God, please make it healthy with all it's fingers and toes. Please, please take great care with my wife. I am trusting you to do that.
We have to start planning for rooms, furniture, baby clothes, maternity clothes. I wonder what my wife will look like when she is really pregnant? God I love her! Look what we done!!
I can get a second job if I have to. My baby will have everything it needs. My baby will have the best of everything it needs. I'm going to be a father, a dad. I'm going to be a coach! We will be so happy!
How do I explain how wonderful I feel to anyone. I'm not sure I can even put my feelings into words. I'm not sure I can explain to the woman that I love so very much exactlly how I am feeling right now. My heart could burst with joy at this very moment. I could cry with joy and I don't care who see's me. What an awesome responsibility we have just taken on. Hadn't thought about that. So many feelings! Wow! Wow!
Nothing prepared me for this---wow!
