Turning Point. A Milestone.

I, will be a father in about 7 months. I can still hardly believe it sometimes. I will have a child of my own. Mitch and I had been to the doctor yesterday and the ultrasound images only show a very small fetus but it's our baby! Lord almighty, I'm gonna be a daddy!

We're hoping it'd be a girl. I find myself hoping for it too. We've a name ready just in case. Sure we were caught unprepared but heck, we will welcome our baby with open arms. I'll have a little bairn of my own to cuddle... Sometimes the thought brings tears to my eyes. I guess the fact my family's messed up made me yearn for a family of my own that won't have the same history I did. I had vowed long ago my children will never know what it's like to grow up without a father; they will never know how it is to be disappointed by the people you trust the most.

Sure it will be expensive. But for the price of seeing my own baby smile and laugh and play? It's a price well worth paying many times over.
