What a thing to learn your wife is pregnant. Its kind of anti-climactic. I imagine the birth is a bigger deal, but similarly just a moment that comes and goes. This will be our first, and we are very excited! I suggested to my wife that we take time each evening before bed to start listening to a books together, and she thought that was a swell idea. So, we started listening to The Power of Showing Up, a book I saw suggested on Reddit. Interested to see what sorts of things we learn together and any discussions / differing ideas we have when it comes to child rearing.
I’m excited to be a dad, I think I’ll be pretty good at it, and I’m excited to see how my ever-optimizing brain handles parenting.
Excited for the next chapter when we enter parenthood!
