I will always remember that day, I received the call, “Honey we are pregnant!” A few gallons of salt and buckets of cold water later, I was taken back into consciousness. Pregnant, no way this guy is not. After all I never thought that I had what it took to create another human being. I was one of those who over the years to do what I wanted when I wanted, without ever having to take on the role penetrated unimaginable called fatherhood!

A look back at this day, I’m laughing at the raging stream of thoughts and emotions that went through my skull. Oh no, there goes my free way of life, how could I feed and raise another human being or even just change a diaper. . . . Are you crazy? Then the little man on my “bad” shoulder told me I could always change my blood type and social security number, and quietly leave at midnight for a long trip somewhere deep in the southern hemisphere.

Well, I inhabited 43 years and knew in my heart that God had sent me a message, Jeff Now you’ll do something a little more responsible and more rewarding than anything you’ve done on this point in your life. Well, nine months and literally flew through August 2009, we were blessed with beautiful, healthy little angel named Sofia.

Now, I was told by many parents that until you look in the eyes of your newborn that you just know the feeling of love. It turns out that they were right. Once I cut the cord and looked into her eyes soft little innocent, daddy was madly in love! Passing through the birth experience is a full stroke, the tide of emotion and sometimes almost indescribable panic. When little Sophie was in my arms and melt exceeded the peaceful calm and wipe any stressful or negative thoughts.

Of course, I was again bombarded by the negative, the hospital staff was wonderful, but they hit us with so much information about Sofie bring up that I felt hopelessly out, I remember thinking I can not remember everything every doctor or nurse told us when we bring home this precious cargo. How do I succeed as a parent has been my main concern. Well three days later little Sophie was introduced to his new family and she watched her father as to say, do not worry, I’ll be fine.

Everything was more than eight months. Our little princess is growing, growing, babbling bundle of joy! Time has passed so quickly its hard to remember Sophia wee bit like a toddler. It is his narrow onesies every two months and seems to learn new tricks every day. As I reflect on the past eight months, I must admit that even if there is no roadmap to raise a child, parents instincts kick in. Even if I know there will be many challenges, Whenever my little darling looks at me and gives me a daddy’s patented smiles it makes life worth it!
