First Heart Beats Strong as a Freight Train
This morning, my wife and I heard our baby’s heart-beat for the first-time–It was even more amazing than seeing the baby on the ultra-sound a four weeks back. The baby’s heart sound like a freight-train and I just imagined it filled with all the necessities to create a life–hormones, vitamins, blood, and all the other things most men know nothing about. It was such a rush to hear my wife’s second heart-beat. I can’t imagine having that much activity in my body–no wonder she is a bit tired
. The doctor said we can now tell they world about the pregnancy. Over Thanksgiving Dinner, we revealed our secret to my four-sisters, my mom, and close friends. We are the first in our families to get pregnant, so the tears were as plentiful and joyful as the food. It was definitely a great moment. My sister’s boyfriend caught-on to my ability to still make things about myself–I revealed the secret by touting my abilities to keep a secret. Anyway, having a baby is a very exciting and thought-provoking time. As my blog progresses, I will be sure to include cogent, emotionally-gripping, and thrilling insights into my transition from whatever I am now to fatherhood. I will try to use a lot of humor and honesty in describing it
We are on week 11, about 30 more to go Stay tuned!

Alice.
