Page 190 - FEAR

My wife is 8 weeks pregnant and yesterday at the doctor visit was the first time reality set in, i'm going to be a father! All of a sudden i'm sitting in the doctors office getting pamphlets and prenatal pills, and personal midwife phone numbers and new appointments so i can hear my child's heart beat at 10 weeks, it was too much for me. Hearing all these things brought wave after wave of emotions and concerns; would i be able to provide for my child, would my marriage survive because my parent's didn't why would mine?
My main concern was that i have a healthy and happy child i don't care if it's a boy or girl as long as i could make sure they were happy and healthy.Whats next? How will our lives change? Will my wife still enjoy all the little things i do for her? Will we still enjoy each others company? How am i going to learn how to be a Dad? When i think about it i'm unsure
of the answers to my questions and that's what scares me most.
