After years of trying unsuccessfully, sharing the pains and the strain together, the discovery of my wife's pregnancy sure felt like I was as much as pregnant as she.
Somehow, it doesn't feel like how everyone makes it out to be.
I'm not jumping for joy... I'm not taken unaware with a shock... I'm not itching to go let everyone know... I'm not worried and afraid of the unknowns ahead...
...if anything, I'm relieved and just somewhat satisfied... for now.
I think it's more like a series of big reliefs at every stage, to see and be re-assured of more and more, and awaiting in anticipation for more to come. In a way, it feels all expected, in a way, it sometimes also feels so uncertain. Can't tell gender yet, but the assurance so far is for a normally developing head, body, limbs and movements, so it's great to hear.
awww... did tears of joy fell?
