My wife seems to think our family might be expanding soon. Despite not being where I had hoped I would when this happen I am still not unhappy about it at all.I guess I will find out if it's for real or not in a week or two.
Awesome!!!!!

It's really true. I don't think very many people are truly 100% sure or prepared to be parents. At some point, you just take the plunge or it is taken for you. lol As unplanned, inconvenient, unsure and scarey that all of this seems for many new parents to be and for all the confusing/conflicting thoughts and emotions, that you both may roller coaster around in, trust me.........once you see that sweet little face for the first time and hold your tiny child in your arms, (and I am not kidding or exaggerating here) you will immediately fall so deeply and so head over heels in love with him or her that you will astound yourself and there will be no words to describe the overwhelming joy and love that will wash over you like a tidal wave. Congrats!!!

You know, my Dad told me this would happen and I really just couldn't picture it. I expected my kid's Mom to feel this way......that is what Mom's do and who they are and they have lived with this baby already as a part of them and their lives for nine months. But men?
No one really understands this til it happens to them. No one really believes it will happen like that. It's quite the phenomena. Love with another person takes time to build and grow. Babies however, break all the damn rules. They hit you and produce a love in your soul that is so deep, so visceral, and so immediate and you have an instant bond with them. You love them like crazy from the first moment. You want to protect them and love them and cuddle them and soothe them and take care of them. They are yours. You connect with them. They are a part of you and and on some level, something so magical takes place, that you cannot even put it into words. Your entire life is changed (and for the better), in an instant.
What is even just as wonderful, is that you feel the exact same way about your grand kids when they are born. Yeah!!!!! I didn't want to hand my grandson back to my daughter in the hospital. I wanted to keep him. lmao
Congrats on your two as well. It's quite the ride isn't it?

It IS quite the ride.
Both my boys are teenagers now... and there have certainly been moments that I felt that I could have easily dispatched them as quickly as they had arrived. The phenomenon you so eloquently described above, though, is so overriding that nothing the boys have done or could ever do, at least as far as I believe, can supersede it. (That's why they still live.) It's truly an amazing thing and is something that you can never shed and will never forget. My Southern born and bred stepmother-in-law said it fairly succinctly... "They just melt your heart, don't they?"
