The kid is already like me. It was poking my wife in the side repeatedly at work yesterday. Of course, when I do it it’s metaphorical.
This is the first time she noticed this happening during the day. Usually if she’s felt anything so far, it’s been during the night. The baby’s been moving throughout, but according to the pregnancy app on my phone, it now weighs 7 ounces and is about 7 inches from head to foot, so it’s finally getting big enough to notice. As my wife said, “It’s cute now but wait until it starts doing Tae-Kwon-Do in there.”
And I’m having more frequent moments of “What the hell are we doing?!” or “How many ways will I screw up our kid?”
But then I calm myself by watching videos of babies laughing. Like this one. I’m not sure what chemical change happens in my body but videos like these have a calming effect. I can only imagine the effect it will have when it is my own baby.
