Funny Story

I always thought about writing a book for dads. Something along the lines of the "mom book" titled What to Expect When You are Expecting.Italic I would just title mine: "What to Expect When Your Wife is Expecting". I could break it up into four quarters like a football game! Anyway, I thought of an opening line right away that always makes me laugh. It would go something like this:
During my wife's first pregnancy she asked my (perhaps hypothetically), "will I ever feel normal again?". I distinctly remember thinking: "God, I hope so".

That kind of sums up some of the uncertainty that newly pregnant moms and dads face. I am sure many moms and dads have felt this way during a pregnancy, desperately seeking that light at the end of the tunnel. I know now, the answer is YES! Things will never be the "same", but you will feel normal again, and things will be normal again. Just much busier!
