For those of you who don't know, me and Kathy are going to be parents in 8 months! YAY! News like that affects you in a big way (duh); it completely changed my perspective, goals and mindset on life. My wife became much more beautiful to me after I found out the news, it's hard to explain. My financial situation suddenly became a much more urgent thing to fix. Any family problems I had became more servere; I want my family to be able to bond over the new little one when he/she enters the world. My job is no longer a pain in the butt, it is now the means by which Baby Branning will be taken care of. My dreams haven't subsided, to the contrary my desire to pursue them has grown even more so that I can give Baby B a comfortable life without poverty.
This news has also really changed my perspective on myself. I've begun evaluating myself and my new role as a father: am I cut out for it? Am I ready for it? Will I be a good father? Will I continue to be a good husband? How will I change? Am I mature enough for this? What characteristics should I focus on changing before I become a daddy?
I am SO excited to meet my child. I love the idea of being a parent, I'm excited for the opportunity to be a parent, I'm scared of the responsibilities I'll have being a parent and I can't wait to experience the joy of being a parent. I know Kathy will make a great mother (or else I wouldn't have married her); I just hope she doesn't forget about her husband! :P
