The Day I Found Out About You

I would like to only focus on you and not all the drama at this time good and bad that came before. The happiest moments in my life have always been hearing that I had a small part in bringing a life to the planet. When I was told that I was going to be a Father again I was ecstatic about the possibilities and apprehensive about my age. I am only telling you this because it was no different with the first to only then I was thinking I am so young now I am thinking I am so old. The whole point is that it is not about be but what I can do for you when you are growing. Can I still help you with sports, camping, hunting, fishing, and all the other pursuits that you might want to do but at no time was this about me only what I would be able to help you with so I could help you in this world. I know most would say that it is just me being there that makes it. I want to be very active in all parts of your life and never want to think that my age held you back or that as you get older you would have to slow down for me. I got over it within minutes and went back to the pure joy of having another child. I will catch hell from my guy friends about this but I enjoy all parts of parenthood from diapers to late night feedings and I don't want to miss a minute of it. I was at all of the appointments and saw all the ultrasounds, bought diapers and wipes, along with camouflage clothes. I sang to you in the womb, I talked to you the same, and I rubbed you hoping to calm you down when you got active in the middle of the night. I loved setting up your room and really waited on pins and needles until the day I knew you would be in my arms. (I even read books even though I already had 2 other kids) Mostly I just marveled about the you that was going to be.
