Now, I have to admit that since that day, I've been prone to some really unusual thoughts and feelings. In my entire life, I've never been more in touch with my sensitive side - kinda makes me feel a bit weird. It's to the point that I could even write a good country song if I tried hard enough. But I refrain, and leave the sappy love songs to the men who get paid to write them.
Anyway, that thought that I mentioned back at the beginning caused me to realize how quickly time is moving. Remembering the day we found out is like looking at a photo album - I can see snapshots of things that stood out to me and with each snapshot, a flood of emotions reminds me of how I felt on that day. Anticipation, excitement, anxiety, joy, and fear rush me all at once. Kinda leaves me breathless a lot of the time.
The other thing I realized is how slowly time is moving. As much as I remember it like it was yesterday, it was almost half a year ago. Half a year...shouldn't I have a little girl to hold by now? (My wife tells me that God made it take 9 months for a reason, but I certainly don't see it. I tell her she needs to turn up the heat and I make her take warm baths to make the whole thing go faster. She tells me that it doesn't work like that. I guess she's right - she probably knows a bit more about it than I do.)
Anyway, I guess I'll have to sit and wait for June and continue going through this emotional roller coaster every day of my life. Or I could write that sappy country song I've been wanting to write...
My wife's a mom
And I'm her man
And waiting's just part of the plan
I'll have to hold on if I can...
That's just the way things go when you're in love.
I know it makes no sense - but I'm ADD so get over it.
