Mr. Dad



Excited. That is what Aaron is.

He can hardly stand the waiting some days. He loves to watch my belly move at night when I'm conked out on the couch and he's watching tv. He's even been known to pull out his cell phone and shine the light on my belly to watch it move. Yeah, there's an alien or something in there.=) She moves crazily sometimes!!

We recently went to a weekend childbirth class. It was long...Aaron was MUCH better at sitting still than I was. (Surprise, suprise! I mean I can't sit still normally, especially not in an uncomfortable chair 8 months pregnant!) He also listenend, and probably learned, a lot more than I did! So, each couple got a baby. Aaron picked ours out. I think it may be Asian. He did all the work. He washed her, changed her diaper, and got her dressed. He was the BEST in the class at putting the diaper on! Seriously, those other Dads must have no clue. They were folding the top flap in, letting it sag, all kinds of crazy stuff! Aaron even folded down the front for her umbilical cordage. =)

He tried to tell people that he thought she'd be born in February. He's always saying he doesn't think I'll make it and she'll come early. Finally I asked him why he thought that and the truth finally came out...he just wants her here so he can hold her! Haha. How sweet! =)


Here's a few pics of him taking care of our baby doll...enjoy!

Listening, intently, on his baby care instructions...



Cleaning out the crevices...our plumper will SURELY have a lot of these!



He knows exactly how to get the corner of the washcloth and wipe the baby gently! Hah!

He LOVED it!!
