Letters To Baby - The Cat Is Out of the Bag!

As you might have guessed based on the title of this post we finally went public to the world with news that you are on the way my boy.  I was having a really difficult time with keeping our little secret.  From the time we got the results of your genetic screening back I was READY to shout it from the rooftops.  Mom even accused me of intentionally talking to loudly while we were in public so that random strangers could hear the news (crazy!). We made it Facebook official with the picture posted below (Note: It is doubtful but this may not be a thing by the time you become tech savvy so if you have questions I can fill you in).     

At any rate, I think it is safe to say that the world will no longer be the same.  I know our lives won’t be haha.  But as far as you are concerned all you need to know is that the list of people who care about you and love you just got a little bit longer.  You are still a long way off but you pretty much all we are working on for the time being.  I have a lot of questions about what I need to do, or not do, when you get here so I am trying to study up.  I can’t believe you are making me read self help (parenting) books…not something I subscribe to usually but in this case I will make an exception. So far so good though. 

Your Mom loves you so much already.  I think you may have already taken me down a rung on the ladder.  Now I am somewhere in Hendrix’s territory. He is your first dog by the way, and I’m pretty sure he is also the greatest dog in history. I am really, really excited for the two of you to meet. I am pretty sure you will be best buddies. This makes us pretty lucky as parents.  Now we’ll have the world’s greatest dog and the world’s greatest baby too. Mom and I are truly blessed.  

Love, 
Dad
