our future child

Well today your Mother and I got tell important people to us and hopefully important to you, about your pending arrival. We are both so very excited, I have wanted to be a Daddy for awhile now, your mother has had the itch to be a mommy since we got engaged. But I am very scared and I cant seem to figure out why? There are so many things I am wondering about, I cant even put my finger on it. I am nervous yet excited am I ready to be a Dad, YES. I know your mother is ready she is a natrual with babies. I know your grandmothers are freaking so excited. I hope your mom reliezes that I am excited about this major event, I just dont know what to say or do I am sort of lost. I am going to be a Dad, I will no longer be the son I am taking on a new role in the family. It means things are coming full circle I guess. I hope I can be the father you want the one I never had until I was adopted. I am going to try to keep writing until your born but it may not be frequent so please understand. I will try to keep your Big yellow brother Tucker ready for your arrival he is good with his foster brother Timber so lets hope he is as happy to see you too. I get to go with mom to her first prenatal Dr.s appt. I will write more then to you about it.....

Thanks for making me CRY honey! LOL At least I didn't have any eye makeup on.

You will be THE BEST Daddy ever. I know it from the bottom of my heart. And it's okay to be scared. :-) I love you!

I don't think you have to worry about being a good Dad, Daryl. It is a big and scary step...but sometimes I think just acknowledging that makes it so much easier.

Your little one is a lucky little, guy...oh yeah, I'm thinking BOY!

You'll be a great dad!!

My hubby was just like you. When the nurse handed him our baby it was like he held a million before her. It'll just be right. And that baby will love you from the minute your eyes meet!!

Congrats Daddy
S0 VERY happy for you two!!

Congrats to you and April. I met April in person for the first time yesterday (at the pampered chef party) and hopefully one day can meet you too.

Be as involved as you can in this pregnancy. Touch April's belly even before you can feel anything. Talk to your "cashew" when ever you can (they can begin to make out voices around 4-5 months).

As mother's we are blessed with feeling our little ones inside of us, allowing for a bonding that you as Dad's don't get, because of that you should sit around every night watching TV and keep your hand on that belly....

Congrats!
