A blog about being a dad. And life.
My have you grown.
Pre-pregnancy you were a nice perky B.
She could run and do practically any activity she wanted without having to really worry about you.
Now though, as you may know, you’ve grown to a D in just a handful of months.
You are still perky as could be (she says thanks, by the way), but you’re everywhere and a force to be reckoned with.
It’s quickly become clear that there are two general reactions people have when they find out I’m having a child.
These reactions come from all walks of life and no matter who the person is, their response almost always fits in one of two buckets.
Here’s what they are.
“Oh. My. Gosh. I’m terrified.”
That’s exactly what came to mind when I rounded the corner at Buy Buy Baby today and saw what you see below — a sea of strollers.
It’s as if I immediately realized I knew a lot about life, but that I didn’t know a lick about babies, especially when it has to do with strollers and getting from point A to B.
Dear Son,
Your mom and I recently went to your 20-week checkup.
The purpose of this appointment, and ones before it, are to make sure you are growing as you should and that nothing is looking out of the sorts medically. Thankfully, we’ve only received good news and your mom is also doing well.
Two days ago I published a post titled Dear Son: Learning to Ride A Bike.
It’s a cutesy letter to my unborn son about learning to ride a bike.
Once I hit the publish button and starting thinking about sharing the post with my friends and family… I paused.
I suddenly became nervous.
