Today I had a day of vacation and it made it possible to join my beautiful wife Tiffany at the Dr’s. So far, I have been able to go to every single doctor’s appointment throughout the pregnancy and I am semi certain I won’t miss any of the major ones until our little baby girl arrives. I will be going to the US for business at the end of August and might cut it very close to be home in time for the next appointment – but so far it’s looking good.
The doctor, an older gentleman who has been delivering babies for the past 30 years, still doesn’t really acknowledge my presence at the appoints, assured us that everything was ok and the baby is developing beautifully. He is now 100+% certain it’s a girl – and we could see my little baby girls unmentionables on the ultra sound screen. Definitely a girl!
As an old saying goes “When you are having a boy you need to worry about one penis, if you have a girl you have to worry about all penises”. This saying definitely hits home, as this past weekend the biggest annual event of the year our little hometown took place. Lantern Fest – a 4 day party ending tonight with a big fireworks display tonight. Since Friday night a beer tent, rides, nightly parties and night time parades brought our town of 2800 people to a stand still with non stop partying.
We have been doing our share of partying as well – with my wife staying away from alcohol of course – and had loads of fun. Pictures to follow in a separate post, I promise. Now with the stage set, you can imagine that a lot of young people have been joining the party giving me a chance to observe them a bit while enjoying a cold beer. I noticed the flirty behavior, scandalously short skirts and the juvenile attempts of boys trying to pick up the girls- all this on kids way too young.
Quite frankly, knowing that my little baby girl will be born at the end of November, it scares me. When will she start dating? What kind of Boys will she like? By what age will we need to have the birds and the bee talk. I know there are plenty of other issues which we will need to deal with until that time comes – thankfully – but still that old saying rings in my ear more than ever today after getting confirmation of the fact that daddy’s little girl will be here by Christmas.
