Every time I talk to someone or read about any part of the baby process a very small part of me freaks out, very small. It is a great way to prepare, I know that I may not have the exact same experience as others but it is very awakening. I have checked for the obvious signs of change in my skin waiting for the inevitable or maybe what I believe is going to occur, my face is the part of the worry but part of the ah we are okay. I know that I may never be fully prepared for the entrance of our child's life into this world but sometimes reading the scary things and thinking on them helps me feel a little better, not certain why exactly but after initial shock of "my body is going to do…" I just think about the fact that we will become a family of three and how great of a dad Darren is going to be every day.
I am learning my boundaries, cannot bend over like a normal person and having to make adjustments in order to be comfortable and not feel like I am squishing the baby. I cannot take too long between my snacks and meals, continuing to keep a well rounded healthy lifestyle from foods to exercise. I can hide under my layers at the gym but when it comes to most activities I realize that my legs do not come up as high on the bicycle due to being stopped by my belly, not going to do a few things because they felt awkward just 3 months in and being bigger would only make me more uncomfortable. Most of all the sleep, getting enough sleep makes me a much happier person and even more ready to take on the day but my weekend naps are still getting fit in whenever possible. Waking up from that sleep to use the restroom, not my favorite part.
We are just over the halfway mark and so much more will come to light as we hit additional milestones.
