Maternity Shots at the Shakespearean Gardens


Blogged by: New Papa to be (aka Sash)
Seeing as I'm partially responsible for all the mayhem that lay ahead in the coming weeks, I figure it's only fair for me to blog...for the first time...ever! I've gone through a few phases since finding out that we're going to have a baby. First it was shock and disbelief, quickly followed by holy shit can I actually do this, then the excitment settled in. Now I'm just plain ready. I've never held a newborn for more than 15 seconds, let alone changed a diaper. In fact that first and last time I held a baby I was 20 years old and she puked all over me. Hopefully Milan takes it easy on me until I figure things out.
We've got a couple weeks left (20 days according to our midwife, but I don't believe her) and have been trying to enjoy the last of our time together as a childless couple. We went to Stratford over the weekend to take advantage of the nice weather and to squeeze in those ever-important maternity photos that every first time parents should have. The photo above is one of the many beautiful shots of Danielle in her verrry pregnant state. I can only pray that the labour goes as well as this pregnancy has...knock on wood, but things have gone well. I hope this is a good sign of things to come for us and little Milan.
That's it for now, but this blogging thing is kinda cool, so I'll try to jump on from time to time and share some more thoughts from a future sleep deprived proud papa. Now back to the couch to rest my legs after playing a grueling game of basketball; 25 minutes of one-on-zero took it's toll on me :)
