Bonus entry: A father's perspective

The following pregnancy post was composed by my love and baby-daddy, Billy. I hope you enjoy his take on our pregnancy as much as I did! 

How far along?
How far along with what? Oh, you're talking about the baby. If my memory serves me correctly we have exactly 46 days, 4 hours, 36 minutes, and 36 seconds until the due date.

Total weight gain:
My total weight gain during Sara's pregnancy is ever changing. On days that we are low on food I'm about 10 pounds heavier, but when Sara makes her potato soup, I'm about 15 pounds heavier.  

Maternity clothes: 
Nope, that's outside the budget.

Image result for daddy and daughter quotesSleep: Yes, I sleep pretty well...except when Sara wakes me up screaming that she has a cramp and I jump up and start rubbing her hamstring, but then she yells "my calf". But other than that I sleep well.

Miss anything: 
I miss Sara being comfortable. 

Best moment this week:
My last semester of college started this week. Can't believe how fast it has gone.

Movement: 
I try to move at least once a day but that's about it. Oh you mean the baby! Sara says she moves all the time; I get to see it every once in a while and even feel her punch Sara in the stomach.

Gender:  
The lady at our gender appointment said girl so she must be a girl because doctors are never wrong!

Pregnancy symptoms: 
I have heart burn after I eat about 1 - 2 pounds worth of food at one sitting. Not sure if that's a symptom or me just overeating. 

Emotional state: 
Excited to enjoy these last weeks of pregnancy with Sara.

Nervous about:  
Holding my daughter for the first time, changing diapers, and if she will like me.

Looking forward to:
Meeting our baby in person and Sara holding her for the first time.

Anything you'd like to say to the baby: 
Daddy will always be there for you, forever.
