One Day Closer, One Day Older

Another day closer to being a father and today was an eye opening day for me about the importance of being a good father. Children need their parents. Just the pressence of two loving parents provide so much to a child. With God leading us, I pray that we both can be there for our child. Yes I 've done the math; I will be 37 at the birth, 55 at the high school graduation, and (dare I say) 60 plus after graduate school. (And the numbers are even more staggering if we decide to have a second child a couple years later.) I love the opportunity and I know God has a plan for us. (And I know He knows how old I am).

I even had a chance to go grocery shopping by myself for Kandis. And like always, I may have over did it just a little bit. I always buy more than I should when I shop alone. Plus, I want Kandis to have more than enough. I felt like telling the other women at the store, "I'm shopping for my wife, she's pregnant." I had a chance to tell one of the employees, but I didn't. But I have seven more months to tell people.

I must admit that I am starting to get a hang of this "expecting dad" thing. And I know that a big part of being a good father is being there. And I plan on being there.
