Ok, so this is scary! My daughter might be sleepin (or not sleeping) in our home in 8-10 weeks. Her due date is April 30th which is 10 weeks from now, but the doctor said if things go well like they have been, he'll probably want her to come a couple of weeks early???
Emma, I can't wait for you to get here, but....am ready to be your father? Fathers do things like pray for their daughters--I do that. They read to them--I'm hardly read to myself! They sing to them--totally have that covered. They are old--I don't know about old but I just had a birthday. They worry about them--checkmark! It is amost completely unfathomable to think that soon I will be attending father-daughter events at church and school...WHAT?!? Is anyone else reading this? Father? I think deep down, I've always wanted to be a father, but now that I'm about to be one, I realize that fathers don't have a clue worth a crap what they're doing and the ones who think they do are probably the bad fathers who turn out girls with low self-esteems! Oh Lord, please let me be the kind of father she needs in order to see the kind of love that you provide your children so that she will fall in love with you before all else! Oh and don't even get me started on boys! She just better plan on staying single until I get crazy from being old or that I go blind so they can trick me into thinking that she just has a girl roommate one day and not a husband! Oh baby girl, I might not be ready to be a perfect daddy and I might not ever be, but i do know that I cant wait to meet you and to fall in love with my little baby from the moment our eyes meet! Your mommy and I love you and can't wait to hold you and raise you and show you God's love in our family!

So proud of you, Jody! Emma is already blessed because YOU are her father! I love you!
what do you mean, fathers are OLD? .... you won't ever feel "ready," but you will find it a pretty natural transition. their poop doesn't smell till about day 5, and they don't really cry that loud until 3-4 months. and at this point you don't need to be too tough on the boys. they're pretty little and easy to fight off. you can flick their nose and they cry.... sissy boys
