Full-Time Daddy

Today, Nina went back to work. She had been home on leave for seven weeks and I had gotten used to having her around. In fact. we have been together on a daily basis for much more of our married life than appart. Most couples don't spend that much time together. One or both go to work and thus, don't spend every day together. Well, not so for us.

So, being without Nina today was a little unfamiliar and a little sad. Not that I have issue with being alone for a bit, I'm OK with some of that. It's just that it has been quite nice for our little family to have each other to lean on. We are all there to keep each other together—we get along with each other so well. But now she goes off to work and I stay at home with the baby. Oh yeah, I'm now the full-time daddy.

Oh my God, I'm a full-time daddy.

Let me say it again...

"I'm a full-time daddy."

Whoa there. OK. I can do this. Yup. I am doing this. It is going to be great. Ian and I are getting along. We know what to do. We are going to have so much fun... Oops, he's screaming now, I guess there 's something I should do.

Did I mention I miss Nina?

I think you and Nina are amazingly wonderful, caring and compassionate parents. I know you will do well in this new venture. Thanks for sharing the journey with us.
