Exiting times
It’s about time I let you in on my thoughts again.
Somehow time flies. It feels like it was yesterday I wrote a blog last time, but as Ilook here it was more than four months ago. (If the announcement of thepictures of last year doesn’t count).
Many things happen in four months.
Some things stay the same.
Life is great!
We have fixed our home to be more accommodating to a kid.
We’ve enjoyed a vacation without leaving the country.
Now it’s less than three weeks to the calculated due day. That is soon. Still it feels like it’s far away.
In a way itis. Not because of the fact that 18 days is that long, but because of all the change that the little one will bring. All the things I really can’t prepare for. I’ve tried to prepare all I can. I even got the number to Försäkringskassan (that is the government agency that gives out parental money)so that I don’t have to look it up when the day comes.
It also feels like so soon.
In the beginning of October some good friends are getting married, we had to tell them we come with a kid. That’s just a little more than a month from now.
Susanna is at home now, giving me a warm welcome when I get back from work. She is good at that. (She is good at hugging too). I feel so lazy when I get home. I should change that. But I guess that will come naturally; there will just be so much to do.
She will be home for a year. After that it will be my turn.
I’m also happy for my friends. Especially for the ones that also are fathers, they have given me much input and advice. I’m looking forward to put it to use.
I don’t know if I ever will feel like a good father, I just will try to do my best. Even if I feel like a disaster I’ll try again. One thing I know: I will be proud. I’m proud already, even if the kid isn’t born yet. When I listen to its hart-beat trough Susanna’s belly. When I feel its kicks.
Okay, this is it, this time. I doubt it will be four month to the next update. I think you all want one when the kid is born. (I might write some more before that but don’t count on it).
