Father’s Day

My real man!

Today is Puck’s first Father’s Day, though admittedly in a year he’ll get to celebrate a first Father’s Day with our boys in his arms. Still, he’s already a dad. You just have to see the look on his face when he has his hands on my belly and feels his sons kick to know it; it’s one of the most blissfully happy looks I’ve ever seen.

And if you’ve been following the blog at all, you know that he’s not just into becoming a dad for the fun times. From the very beginning, Puck has been a full participant in our pregnancy journey. He’s insisted on shouldering more responsibilities around the house, researched pregnancy and parenting in books and online, prepared meals and snacks to keep me and the boys well fed, and kept a close eye on me to make sure that we’re taking care of me and our boys.

We are looking forward to meeting Dominic and Alexander face-to-face sometime in the next few weeks, and we both know that the first few months after our boys are born (dubbed the Twinsanity Interval by Puck) will be filled with new challenges – like sleeplessness, constant feedings and diaperings, and learning a range of new skills. It’s a truly wonderous feeling to be embarking on parenthood with a partner who is eager for both the joys of holding and playing with our sons and the new responsibilities as well.

Happy Father’s Day, my love!
