Reflections from a new father

There's nothing like an approaching birth to change your opinion on kids.

I've always loved kids. I've always known I was going to be a father someday - and I looked forward to that... someday.

Even last fall, I wasn't sure I was ready - I wanted to "wait a little longer". Pauline and I decided we'd just let nature take it's couse. I assumed that course would run a little longer. Then Pauline came down from the bathroom one night and said "I think I'm pregnant!" and my entire reality changed.

It took a day or two for the news to sink in. By the time the doctor's office confirmed we were expecting a little bundle of joy, I was starting to get a little excited. Then after the first ultrasound - when we found out it was twins - I was pumped.

My attitutde has done a 180. I can't wait to be a father! (Let's see how I feel after the first two weeks, right?)
