Thursday, August 22 Kris visited the doctor's office today. It was the second appointment since conception. All of the tests run using blood drawn at the first appointment came back normal and Kris is progressing well. I on the other hand don't seem to be progressing at all. Development of the fetus doesn't seem to be having the same emotional effect on me that it does Kris. I don't really know why that is. I'm extremely happy that we're having a baby and I'm excited that I'm going to be a father, I'm just not over the top, bouncing off the walls giddy. We heard the heartbeat today for the first time and while I was happy to hear it I wasn't overcome. Kris was overcome. She cried at hearing the heartbeat and seemed to think that I should have been more outwardly emotional. My thinking is, "you're pregnant, of course there's a heartbeat". That's not to sound cold, or removed from what's happening inside her body, it's just that the normal, expected, progression of things isn't stirring much emotion in me. Maybe this whole thing won't sink in until delivery. |
