Mary has been feeling bad the last week with the sickness and the aches/pains. We are both impatiently waiting for the 2nd trimester where we are told it gets easier for a few months. She seems to be keeping down alot more lately and getting the extra sleep she needs.
I spend alot of time wondering what it will be like with a baby in the house? Will I be a good father? How will it affect our relationship? To help me answer these questions I do alot of reading. Not many people know that I love to read, and it was not always that way, but after college I started to read almost a book a week. My current reading consists of pregnancy magazines and books and all of my questions seem to be normal for a first time father.
The reading does get me excited about having a child, forming our family, and putting my stamp on this world. In my mind Mary and I are a team throughout the process, although she deals with alot more physically and mentally then I have to. My goal is to make her feel as good as possible throughout the pregnancy.
Our next Doctors appointment is Friday for the 12 week ultrasound. We get to hear the babys heartbeat and see him/her again!
Mary is not showing much yet, but we expect the tummy to grow in the next month. I will definately get some pics up if she lets me.
