Fatherhood

So what does fatherhood mean to you?!

First and foremost – Huh?!?! Really?!?! Don’t tell me it’s positive (preggie test) and then tell me it’s just false alarm, I can’t take it!! So it’s true!?!? That little black dot there is my baby?!?! (ultrasound scan)……….sms family to inform them…….

Then what? Watching other fathers walking with their kids and proudly told myself – I’m gonna have one of mine too. This takes months to sink in and finally accepted the fact that there is a little me that will be calling me daddy.

Getting fat!! Slowly realizing that pants are getting tighter and tighter. Every person who hasn’t seen me for a few months would say that I have put on weight. It’s time to exercise and shed of some of those fats.

Pregnancy for dummies – Start reading pregnancy guides. Being fascinated by how a little dot grows to become a human being and all the other scary part of labor.

Shopping – Never realized how cute they are until I open up the drawers and see those mini size t-shirts, pants, overalls lying there. They are like clothing for teddy bears. So, lots of shopping for clothes, milk bottles, bottle warmers, more clothes, diapers, toys and all other essential stuff…..




Lastly, the most amazing experience is feeling the baby’s kicks and punches. My favorite thing to do nowadays is to put my face on mommy’s tummy and feel the baby’s punch on the face. Never been punched and yet feel so good!
