DAD SODA DAD THOUGHTS

GROWN CHILD

[dadsodadadthoughts-blog]

Second Trimester.

So for an umemployed first time dad, a prego wifey can be difficult. We currently live with family while I've been picking up odd jobs on the side, just until I get a job. Aside from this limiting funds, it takes out the fun of getting to make those 3 am trips the grocery store for random snacks. That being said, I HAVE MADE MORE PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICHES WITH SOUR CREAM AND ONION CHIPS ON THEM THAN MOST ADULT MEN. 

It has been fun. Really a bonding experience for her and me. It's falling asleep with your hand on her belly and feeling her insides tick, wondering if you're just feeling the baby move around, hoping for that moment. Also being farted on. Don't feed me that it's the baby passing gas shit either. He is a fetus and I've only heard  A GROWN ASS MAN FART LIKE THAT.

From what I read, this is the most enjoyable time in the pregnancy though. The old lady is back to herself, and just waiting for the crazy third tri. God help us (me).

You're a dad. Or going to be a dad. Or something. I know the feeling, I'm about to be a dad too. As a 23 year old with a pregnant fiancé, I feel like life has really come at me fast. I like cigarettes, beer, hockey, music, video games, and concerts. None of these really strike me as things dads do. My dad works construction, listens to terrible music, and works on things in a shed. Dad does not seem like something that describes me. And I think that's the story for a lot of us out there. The idea of becoming a real adult is weird. 

This blog is for you. The adult boy who hasn't grown quiet up. I know I haven't. I post occasionally with my new thoughts as fiancé's stomach grows and as my son finds new ways to wake me up in the middle of the night before he's even born.
