So all my gals who are blooming moms .. so far things are ok I mean, moderately exciting. But after your First Ultra Sound... it'll be something you never anticipated!!!
The first picture of your baby, is not comparable to anything!!! The little wonder so tiny, so delicate... don't be surprised if u find yourself wiping a tear drop from your cheek.. or finding it difficult to let your eyes blink. Believe it, feel it and let it sink in. These are the few moments when it feels great to be born as a woman.. not that its not great otherwise.. but yes it's that feeling you know, no man can ever know or experience because he was not designed to have a womb.
But that is no excuse for not being excited on being a father!!! We as women experience our babies since we conceive, men on the other hand start a clock in their life.. a clock that is ticking towards their new life which they are getting ready to embrace as Fathers. They too will have their own unique way of care and concern. Some will be over careful ('most'will be more appropriate word, hope you girls agree). And some clueless and confused. Yet, all this apart, they will have their own way to show the baby that they are there. It thus can't be a coincidence that, as fathers symbolise to be the strong shoulders that protect, this journey of protection starts as the care, concern, understanding and learning of the clock of pregnancy. Their support makes you content. It completes the woman nature in you that feels happiness in seeing others happy around her.
From all that I have seen and read fatherhood is a bigger wait. They wait longer than us. The fact being that their real experience will only begin after the baby's birth. Till then it is their longing that makes them go through this long wait to touch the miracle of life. It's about making themselves into a father is what counts. Listening to their thoughts of how they would want their child to be, what they would want to do and go through for them is all a part of their genetic arrangement. Many a times it will be noticed that they build more dreams than women.. because those dreams will make their fatherhood come alive and learning at every step will only make them more confident.
More to come in my next blog.
