"At first you moved,
only a little.
I could always find you,
right in the middle.

As time went on,
you really started to grow.
It wasn't a whole lot,
in fact, it was rather slow.

Before I knew it,
you were all over the place.
It kind of felt like
you were running a race.

People would ask me
if you were a boy or a girl.
I would sit and wonder,
if you would have curls.

There are so many things
I really want to know.
But you are hidden inside,
so the answers don't show.

How much will you weigh?
How tall will you be?
What colour is your hair?
Will you even like me?

I hope and pray
you feel like you belong.
I never want you to feel
like you are alone.

Your Mother and I
planned you from the start.
You, my dear child,
were made straight from our hearts.

In about a week or so,
I'll meet you, for the first time.
For you are the product
of your mom's love and mine.

There will be no one like you,
not any place in the world.
It really doesn't matter
if you are a boy or a girl.

We are both so happy
that you even exist.
The gender doesn't matter.
you'll be hard to resist.

I hope I make you proud,
that I am your father every day.
Because, you have filled my dreams
in more ways than words can say.

It won't be long before
I can look you in the eyes.
I can feel the excitement growing,
I know I'm going to cry.

Don't worry my angel,
those tears will be of joy.
It won't matter to me
if you are a girl or a boy."

All this was pretty new to me.  I had taken an off from work till Louisa delivered. I didn't want Lou to stay out of my sight. I always wanted to be beside her especially now, but you can call me selfish but there was another reason. I wanted to experience each and every development of my child. I had heard that the child sometimes shows movement when inside the mother's womb. I wanted to experience that. I wanted to feel his presence. I was really new to this and was curious and Nervous as well. What If I'm not a good father ?. What if I can't give my child everything he or she needs?. All these questions sort of haunted me.

"You're going to be fine Will". Said Louisa lying on the bed smiling. "stop being so tensed and cute at the same time ". There I go again, blushing like a teenager who was just kissed by his crush. "I need to take care of you you know,both of you, so I think it's okay to be a little worried about it. I mean how will our child be ? . How do you take care of newborns?. Which school will he or she go ?. When he or she grows up we have to send them away and ...".
"Shhhhhh....". I couldn't complete my sentence. I couldn't complete my sentence Because Lou's finger was on my lips. "You're going to be fine ". She whispered softly.

She smiled. "don't worry okay?". She caressed my cheek. I nodded. She leaned in for a kiss. Sensations of satisfaction and relaxation went through in my body. Finally she pulled back. "you're going to be a father William". She said smiling wrapping her arms around my neck.
" Crossing another stage of life with you is all I ever wanted ". I said softly. She nodded back and smiled.  We kissed again. It was the next big thing. We were going to be parents....in a short while.
