The Daddy Letters
This is a guest post from A Mom's Impression.
Dear TJ,I want to tell you about the time I heard you existed. It was on a Saturday morning at about 7am. I had been up too late on that Friday night. I don’t know if I had a gig or if I was just out with some friends. But I probably drank too much and was in a deep sleep. Your mother came running in, turned on the light in the bedroom, and waved the pregnancy test in my face. “I’m pregnant!” she yelled. She had never seemed more alive.
I thought that I did pretty well. Handling that…. Yes, we had been trying to get pregnant. Yes, I was ready to be a father. But… Wow…. I didn’t that that it would actually work! Or that it would happen that fast. So there I was at the crack of dawn on a Saturday morning with a touch of a hangover clouding my head. I got up and went into the bathroom. I closed the door. I turned on the light. I looked at my face in the mirror for a long time.
Your mother left me alone. I was in there for about 10 minutes. I was just trying to get caught up, you know? I came out and we hugged. We talked about it for a couple more minutes. Will it be a boy? A girl? Healthy? We assured ourselves that we were ready. Then we really didn’t talk about it for the rest of the day. It just didn’t seem real. But you never left my mind.

Sweet. My husband dropped a profanity and then started cry laughing. It was memorable!
I will forever love my husband for the way he handled it, and handled me, when I told him I was pregnant. We were only dating, you see. We had been friends for months and then, badaboom, we weren't just friends anymore, and a month later I was pregnant. We were also neighbors, so when I got the positive test, I walked to his apartment and knocked.
He saw that I was upset and instantly took me inside and asked me what was wrong. I told him, point blank, then I busted out crying. And this wonderful man simply picked me up, hugged me, and put me on the kitchen counter and kept hugging me. He told me over and over again that it was a good thing, that he was happy about it, that everything was going to be ok.
He was right. We've been married now for almost 6 years. And we're the proud parents of a 5 year old girl and 2 year old boy. (I was 5 months pregnant when we got married).
aww :) what a lovely reaction.
my fiance was shocked, because our baby was unplanned, but after the initial shock of the news he was over the moon :) now we're just 10 weeks away from meeting our baby girl :)! (fingers crossed she'll arrive before/on her due date) we couldn't be happier! :)
Very sweet. I hope my future child has such a caring and loving father.
