Our First Father’s Day - Sort Of

June 15, 2008

Today is Father’s Day.  For me, it’s a difficult one, as I no longer have my dad with me to celebrate and spend time with.  I woke up feeling sad, which I’m sure will always be the case, no matter how much time goes by.  My dad would be so proud of us and everything we’ve gone through, and I can just see the smile on his face and the joy in his heart at finding out that we are going to be parents.

This is also the first time, on Father’s Day, that Collin is a Daddy-to-be!  Even though our baby is not here in our arms yet, I still thought it was a good idea to celebrate.  Normally, we spend the day with Collin’s parents, but they are in New York with Collin’s brother, Parker and his family.  Since it was just the two of us, I decided to take Collin to an Angel’s game.  This is one of his favorite things to do, and he hasn’t been able to go in a long while.  We had a great time, and the Angels won, which made it even better!

I had a blood test on Thursday, and my numbers are still looking great.  They no longer check my Beta, since we have heard the heartbeat and we know it’s a viable pregnancy.  This coming Thursday we have another ultrasound which we’re so excited about.   It’s the most amazing thing to see our little baby on the same monitor that just a couple of months ago showed cysts and growing follicles.

I’ve been feeling much better this week, thank God!  To be honest, it makes me nervous to be feeling so well, because my immediate reaction is, “Is everything OK with the baby?”.  According to my blood tests and recent numbers, not only is everything OK with the baby, but everything is great with the baby.  I’m trying to stay positive and not find things to worry about, especially when things really are looking good.  Collin is constantly reminding me to stay positive and thank God for how far He’s brought us.

Daily, we are praying for our baby to continue to be healthy and to grow and develop the way it should.  We ask that you also pray for our little blob and for us as we prepare to be parents.  January seems like a long way off, but I’m sure it’s going to be here before we know it!

Happy Father’s Day to every dad and daddy-to-be out there!  You are truly a gift to your children no matter how young or old they may be.
