Daddy's Corner

Happy 21 weeks everyone! 

This week the future Daddy is the author of the blog.  Misty thought it would be a great idea for me to give my two cents about how my life has been changing and my excitement as that eventful day in June comes closer and closer.

First off, when I found out that I was a father to be, excitement came over me like it has never done before.  That was quickly overshadowed by my new job... taking care of my morning sick (all day) wife!  From early November through... now, Misty has been sick as could be.  At one point she was so sick, I thought I was going to have to take her to the hospital.  She started to come around by Thanksgiving but not well enough to make dinner for the guests.  As part of my new job, I took over and made it all for the first time EVER.  Misty has gotten better over time though.  She wasn't as sick on our Christmas vacation in SLC. 

Excitement continued to grow as things progressed.  In December we were able to hear the babies heart beat, even for only a split second.  We went in one more time to listen to the heart beat before going to SLC and could hear it a lot stronger the second time around.  It was an amazing experience hearing my baby alive and well.  We continued to set up more and more appointments with the midwives and doctors.

As you know just two weeks ago was the most amazing part of my life so far.  I got to see my future daughter waving at us through the ultrasounds.  I can not wait till I get to actually meet her in person. but for now, I get to just enjoy feeling her through Misty's belly.  After the ultrasound Misty was able to start feeling her kicking, just a flutter.  Not two weeks later, she is using my hand as a soccer ball, but only during the night hours when Misty is trying to sleep. 

I still do my best to take care of my pregnant wife, but it is all on her when she has to wake up in the middle of the night to pee, about 5 times a night.  The rest of this weeks blog may continue, but you may have to wait till next week after we get back from our little vacation.
