I've gotten to grow and mature alot as a person in the last year or so. I've gotten a "real job", quit my "real job", gotten married, bought my wife a car, moved out of my parents house, and then moved a hundred and fifty-seven thousand miles away from them (none of that necessarily in that order). But by far the thing that I've grown from the most would have to be finding out that I'm going to be a daddy.
It's the craziest thing in the world. Gone are the nights of, what do you call it? Oh yeah, sleep. Now it's, "Wake up! It's moving!", which you had better watch, feel, ohh, ahh, wiggle and giggle like your life depends on it, 'cause you're sleeping on the couch if you don't. I even have to help her into and out of my beautiful car, which I bought and fixed up when I didn't realize I was gonna be loading this much stuff in and out of it. And I have to make all the midnight runs for the craziest crap you can imagine... At first, I wanted to just so I could say that I had. Now I'm not real worried about it.
I now get to look forward to the long nights of trying to get the baby to sleep, worrying about it because it's actually being quiet, rocking it, helping feed it, change it, clothe it, change it, feed it, change it, and put it to sleep again. I'm sure I'll miss all the runs to the store "just to walk around", going to the movies "just because we can", and sleeping in on Saturdays "just because". But it'll all be worth it in the end.

ReplyDeletehey buddy! kids are awesome! sure they make you crazy...but the great thing about being crazy is that you think its normal!
ReplyDeletedon't worry about all the "sacrifices, stuff you can't do, stuff you have to do, etc. etc."
all my life folks have been telling me how much something I looked forward too would not be as great as I expected...sometimes they were right... but more often I have been surprised that it was exactly as fun and great as I had anticipated or even more!
love you guys!
