One Week To Go!
I can't believe that on Tuesday, your official arrival date will be one week away! The concept that the world population will increase by one human being is still foreign to me. I cannot even imagine what to expect and what's to come.
The feelings I'm having are:
Curiosity: I am curious to see what has been moving around so much in the womb.
Excitement: I am extremely excited and eager to be the best father and husband I can be. You are the means to that end.
Apprehension: I have been living a life without much care in the world. Financially and health, I've been pretty fortunate. I've really only had to worry about myself. In one week, my well-being will come in third place, followed by you and then your mother.
Anxiety: Giving birth isn't a small task. It's an ordeal... for you and especially your mother. I'm worried that I'll say or do the wrong thing. I'm worried that I won't be a good coach for your mom. Ultimately, I'm worried about the health and well-being of you and your mom during the traumatic birth process.
Bewilderment: I still haven't come to terms that I will have to care for you for the rest of my life... and this life-changing event will occur in one week. The house is still in dissary with kitchen remodel occuring right now. I still have to prep, prime and paint the kitchen. And we still don't have our living room furniture yet. Almost forgot that we'll be getting a new stove. It's crazy. I'm going nuts. I'm running amok.
Those are the electro-chemical occurances that are taking space in my neural net at the moment. I'm sure when I'm racing your mom to the hospital, a whole new set of emotions will take over.
We're not even packed for the hospital yet. Today is your mom's last day of work. I'm hoping that we can get packed tonight.
I hope you are not an early baby. Please stay in the womb until October 6. Thank you.
