we're waiting for you, we're waiting for you

So we have been eagerly awaiting the coming of our little guy, but it seems the time is crawling by. Our due date isn't until August 27th ( its the 15 right now) but by the end of pregnancy all you want is the baby to come. Your partner is sick of being pregnant and probably really wants it to be done, but in my experience its slightly different for a dad to be.

My biggest issue has been the want to connect with the little guy. MW has been carrying him around for almost 9 months now. She feels him kick every time and feels him moving around in there. I can feel him kick (which is awesome) but feel slightly disjointed from the whole experience. For the dad there is a lot of hurry up and wait in the pregnancy process. I am excited to get to the part that I can be directly involved in the babies life!

Although waiting is a bit tedious, just keep on trucking. Eventually he will come and I expect there will be times where I will yearn for the quiet of pregnancy again.
