Meet My Baby-Daddy


*(Side note--he's dancing, not being obscene...just in case you were wondering).
This is Mr. ABC123, and this is his personality in a picture. He is such a cartoon character...he's soooo animated. Not in an annoying way, like has-to-be-the-center-of-attention....just sincere and enthusiastic. I guess that's why he's good at working with teenagers.

I nominate him for "Father-To-Be Of the Year." I'm telling you--I don't know how he has lived with me over the past three months and remained not only sane, but downright pleasant and loveable. I was telling another pregnant friend this week that we (pregnant women) must be SO HARD to live with! I've been little more than a blob of whining, nauseous flesh that doesn't cook, clean, or do anything "extracurricular." I freak out at the smell of any food, and when I even think I might be hungry, hehastogetmefoodrightnowandImeanNOW.

He never hesitates to take over the chores and keep the house functioning. Even the days when I have a liiiiiiittle bit of energy and try to do some household chores, he utters his now-classic line, "You're growing a child inside of you!," and directs me back to the couch from whence I crawled. He has made more "fruit and chocolate milk" runs to the grocery store at all hours of the day and night than I care to count.

I'm so deeply appreciative of everything he does. I really don't think that if the roles were reversed, I could remain as kind, pleasant, and attentive as he has. Our baby is so lucky to get him as a dad!
