Father to be.

Post by Redleafe »

So my girlfriend Jennifer and I have recently discovered that we are expecting, needless to say it was not planned but none the less a pleasant surprise. I've awoken every day since with an assortment of diverse thoughts that vary, this doesn't look to change I'm sure.

I can honestly say I haven't been more complexed as to how I feel about this as compared to anything else in my life, excited, anxious, scared, worried, surprise....this all sets in day after day in different tones. I find myself thinking about things I hadn't imagined I'd ever think about, but I know this comes with such territory, atleast now I do :wink: .

I have always wanted to be a father, something has always appealed to me about the honor of being able to bring a child into this world to provide for and love boundlessley. I am going to be a Dad, and I say this only to remind myself. The responsibility and sacrifice that is to come with this has not fully set in just yet, but in time it surely will, I know this much.

I frequent the forums from time to time and I have always found a connection with those of this community, be it new or older faces I have always had a long enduring respect for this place and relaying this news here has giving me some remote comfort in all of this.

I will surely keep in touch as I have always, relaying the process.

Good night Dasaria, truly.

~Eric

Grats to you! More Dasarian babies! Good luck, I'm certain you'll probably need it.

Congratulations!

Alot (Alot!) of work ahead of you but you will receive such awards you never could have dreamed existed.

And sooner or later when your new family routines are set you will find the time to come back and relax in the Dasarian realm as well. :wink:

Every day you see your baby's face either suckling at the bottle or when they get older looking up at you and smiling because they know you are the one that is caring for them just brings more wonder. I don't think the sense of responsibility will ever set in because it changes each day with each knew insight.

I now understand why my parents did or chose to do some of the things they did.

Congratulations and welcome to the soon to be world of fatherhood.

I know everyone else is being positive. But damn eric, this is why you always double bag it.

You have permanently changed your life. Because even if you were planning on marrying this girl, it's a whole different tenor on the relationship when you are permanently bound together with a kid.

So I'm not going to congratulate you (because, I mean, you don't congratulate people for accidents) but I will wish you luck with your new family. I hope you have a happy healty kid that can grow up with two loving parents.
I'm always right. I'm also a jerk. It's not my fault you can't get over the latter to see the former.

Hurray for Me!

The question I am constantly asking myself since I became a father is, "Why am I suddenly so wet?" :)

Seriously, fatherhood is the best thing that could ever happen to a guy. Congratulations!

Congratulations! My husband and I are also expecting in January!

Pregnancy is a ride that's for sure and those thoughts you are having are normal. You should witness the craziness that is my brain sometimes and I know my husband feels the same way.

I'm on the last leg here at 28 weeks and looking forward to the due date, this pregnancy thing hasn't been easy for me but it will all be worth it! Just wait until you can feel the kicks with your hand on your girlfriends belly :) The look on my husband's face was priceless!
