The Daddy Conversion

So, here's how a man gets converted to daddyhood.

You unceremoniously announce you're pregnant. Then, later, you ask him what he thinks of it all.

He says how he's scared of how he's going to do it all - school, work, church, home - but that he's also pretty excited because he'll be able to take "my daughter with me on hikes, and talk to her, and teach her how to fish." (He's convinced it's a girl.)

Then, last night, after the lights are out and you're going to bed, he leans over and says to your stomach "Hello Baby! Can you hear me?" You say "It doesn't have ears yet!" He says "yes it does!" and then directs back to the stomach and says "I love you!"

And that's how it happens.
