It's been a while since my last post but nothing much has changed since my last post yet everything has. It's a slow process but I have seen some changes in me as we'll as my wife.
First off the bump has got much bigger from a few weeks ago. This new size is having an effect on how much my wife can do for example if we walk anywhere we have to stop allot and she is getting more tired much like the first trimester. All these are pretty text book changes for the mother but what about me?
The first thing I noticed is I often now well up a little when something reminds me I am having a daughter. This could be watching an advert for one born every minute to reading a book which mentions a daughter. This is strange for me as I don't cry often (I have even been accused of having a whole where my heart is) however it only lasts a moment and I can often pass it off as an issue with my contact lenses.
The second thing I have noticed is I treat my baby as a normal person, such as saying hello when I come in from work to talking to it before I go to bed. You would think such things would make you feel silly but it feels so natural and reading facts such as the hearing is now developed and sounds at this stage will be familiar once it is born
The final thing is the concept of looking after someone else and never having free time again is becoming less scary and even desirable. I think as it is a long process I am now ready for my daughter to be here and almost wish she was here now.
