14 weeks down. How many weeks to go?

Dear Baby,
Charlotte, your mom, is now 14 weeks pregnant. I guess she is starting on her 2nd trimester. I feel like time has slowed down so much since I found out she was pregnant. I found out she was pregnant the day after Thanksgiving 2009. That is quite a gift to get for me on Black Friday! I can honestly say that this is the most exciting time of my life thus far. I can' wait until you get here. I have never been so excited and scared at the same time. Excited because I am going to be a dad and scared because I am going to be a dad. When I found out you were on the way, I cried. I don't think I have ever cried because I was so happy. The very next day, I was tripping out! I was dizzy, I wanted to throw up, and I felt sick. When your mom asked me what was wrong, I told her that the pregnancy symptoms were starting. I felt that way because I was worried about wanting everything perfect for you. I hope we have enough money. I hope you will have a wonderful home to live and grow up in. I want to give you everything I didn't have. I want to teach you to be good person. I want you to know right from wrong. How will you turn out? If you are anything like me and you mom than you'll be beautiful, smart, charming, caring, and everyone will love you. I know I will. No matter how you turn out. People always tell me that I am going to be a great dad. But are they just saying that because I am going to be dad, or do they really mean it? I think they mean it. Besides me and you mom, you will have a great support system of people that will love you.
We went to the doctor last week to check up on how you were doing and the doctor said that you were doing great and that you had a very strong heartbeat. He took a sonogram of you and you now have legs and arms. You were in the fetal position when you were on the monitor but I swear you knew we were watching because you suddenly jumped up and extended you your arm. It looked like you wanted to give your daddy a high five! It was amazing. You are amazing. Your mother is amazing. I am truly blessed that you are a part of my life. Just remember not to be too hard on me when you are growing up because this is my first time raising a child. I in turn will try not to be too hard on you because you will be learning to grow as a child. I love you. That is why I am starting this blog. It will be a series of accounts to chronicle your life, to chronicle our lives. Maybe one day in the future when you are a mad at me for something, you can look back on these writings and realize that I do love you and I do want the best for you. I can't wait to meet you.

Love,

DAD
