Becoming a dad was not a topic I had thought about that much until we found out we are expecting, some 12 weeks ago. Ever since, it has gradually become more of a reality, and a wonderful one at that. Of course, the emotions go in cycles, from excitement to fear (am I ready for this?, what if something goes wrong? what if this…what if that?) to a sense of calm, gratitude and satisfaction to give you a few examples. Nonetheless, it was not until today, when mommy had a second ultrasound that it really became a tangible reality. There he/she was….around 6 inches (15 cm)…with heartbeat, arm, legs, eyes, ears…everything and he/she even streched during the ultrasound which just awoke an indescribable feeling of joy to see our first child alive.

It’s has been hard not to mention anything until now, but in case you haven’t heard, Neda and I are going to be parents!! Mommy is doing very well and is a trooper and I am very proud of her.
