So...yesterday was the wife's first ultrasound for the little stinker on the way. She is 14 weeks starting so we will not know what the sex of the baby is for a few more weeks yet...bummer.
But as I stood in the room waiting for the doctor (Dr. Murphy is our OB/GYN, and he is awesome) to move out of the way of the machine so I could get a look I found myself neither worried or scared (like I thought I might be)....but happy. I had a huge smile on my face that I could not have removed had I wanted to. Hit me right then and there that I was for real going to be a father. And I like that.
While the task of being a good parent is often challenging and frustrating...ask my parents. I am looking forward to holding the little crap-head in my arms, and trying to be the best daddy I can be. I take comfort in the fact that I am in so very many ways exactly like my father...and he did a darn good job if you ask me!
