My Little Honeydew

I feel terrible. I haven't written a single post about Juliette. If I have, I don't remember. And, I don't think there were very many posts about Riley either. I guess when you're waiting for your first child, you have more time to think and more time to write. Also, there's a little less mystery involved. Every pregnancy is different, I'm sure. For the mother and for the father. I really do think that Lindsey and I need to talk about what's on our minds about this baby that's going to be in our life--is already--in our life.

We did get the chance to talk a little about this pregnancy last night. Both of us are surprised that this pregnancy is going by so quickly. I think it's all of the outside distractions. My job changes. Lindsey's job changes. Luke and Riley's antics. We've almost forgotten (at least I have) that we're going to have another human join our family.

I think the fact that we're expecting a girl this time has made me a little freaked out. Baby humans are baby humans. Right? Well, girls are different. It's nature. And I'm a dad and I can't wait to love my little daughter. I mean, I already do. But, I want to see her. I want to hold her. I want to get to know her. This is where I think Lindsey has the advantage. Everywhere she goes, Juliette goes. I know, pregnancy isn't easy. It's hard. I'll never know. And I want to be as supportive as I possibly can to Lindsey as she carries our baby.

According to my baby app, Juliette is the size of a honey dew melon. I'm going to read a bit more about what's going on in there. Some things don't change in pregnancy. Just like when we were expecting Luke, I'm wondering what she'll look like. What's her hair color? Eye color? Who's nose does she have? What's her personality like?

I'm so excited to meet our little girl. I'll try to write a few more posts before she's here. Due date is June 13th. :D
