Expecting Dads Need Big Little Debbies

So I think I've decided that I want to dedicate more time specifically to documenting my experience as a dad-to-be right now. I figure this is probably the most exciting and unique thing that is really happening, a once in a life time kind of deal! You know! You're only a first time dad once, right?

My take is that expecting fathers are way too ignored. Seriously! It's hard being us expecting dads... All the attention goes to the mom and the baby... well, let's not forget how that baby got here!  ;)
The biggest change for moms-to-be are obviously their big bellies with a baby inside. All sorts of changes happen to them, physically, emotionally and so on. But the biggest changes for us dads are the moms. Being a dad-to-be is a huge responsibility. It's like being a one man emergency support team on call 24/7. Always caring disaster relief food and water, handling the belly-touching paparazzi, and waking up multiple times each night to retrieve ... chapstick, tums, or granola bars. And on top of that there are the weird cravings that may make us break into a local bakery just so she can have her bagel at ungodly hours...

Yeah us dad-to-be's are probably just under-appreciated superheroes of our time. Just saying. Recently Ems has been working on a mobile to hang over the baby bed. She just finished it and it looks great! Now for the first time in days I can walk through the living room without hearing the words "Don't Step on the Mobile!" :) "Yes dear"

In all seriousness though, its such a fun time of life and such a real pleasure to be able to serve my wife in real ways right now. A person who is usually pretty independent.... now actually needing you even more is kind of nice. You can easily begin to see how God created this whole Me, Her, Baby thing to work.


In other news! My world was just rocked as of a couple minutes ago!
I ripped open my freshly purchased box of Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies... and they're smaller than ever! Unreal.
I've noticed over the years how they've gotten smaller and smaller... (granted I grew up on the convenient store size... which are now smaller as-well)... and these ones are the smallest I have ever seen!
It is litterally redonculous.
As a life-long Little Debbie fan and supporter I've been shot in the heart. These things aren't much bigger than a silver-dollar!
