Father to Be


It has been quite a while since I have posted my innermost emotions on this blog, so here goes. I am a Father to Be! Each day that passes makes me even more excited about entering this new chapter of our lives, but each day that passes also brings me closer to the reality that I am going to be a dad (Internal Scream!) This is scary unchartered territory for me. I want to be the best dad that I can and am ready to give it everything I have.

January 2nd is our 20 week ultrasound where we'll find out if we will be having a girl or boy baby. I had always thought that I wouldn't want to know ahead of time, but this has all changed for me. The thought that there is this piece of information I can find out about my baby is driving me nuts. I want to know now! I want to know if I will be taking my kid soccer or ballet lessons. Actually, one of my main goals is to not steer my child into a "typical" gender role. I must confess that as a young boy I wanted to take ballet classes and was steered towards karate. I could have been a primo ballerino... Except for the one time I got to break a board I hated every minute of it.
