[Daniel] At A Loss...

***WARNING!*** - Read Moriah's post first.



Wow. The events of the last couple days have been crazy. Finding out that Moriah is pregnant and that we're soon to be parents was quite the unexpected shock, but it is most welcome. I actually never thought this day would come, when I would coming to terms with becoming a father within the next couple months.



It has put so very many things in perspective within the last couple days. Things will be somewhat tight financially but it looks doable so far. Moriah and I's ideas of where we are and where we're going have been turned 180* in what was mere hours. And I have so many questions. Will the baby be healthy? Will it arrive on time? Is it a boy or a girl? What is it's name going to be? Will I be a good father?



I know Moriah will be a good mother. I can see it already, from the moment I saw her when she picked me up from work yesterday (first time we had seen each other after she found out for sure), to the look on her face in the ultrasound room, to how she described the situation to everyone. I could not pick someone better to have and raise a child.



And I know that the child will be well protected. Bear seems to have already shifted his behaviors, as thought he can sense what has changed and is preparing for it. He is already spending time sitting on Moriah's lap, something he has never done before the last week. With the previous interactions he's had with kids, I know I have nothing to fear there either.



I can only look to the future in wonder and enjoy the present as much as I can. It's going to be a crazy ride.
