Today is an exciting day. Today we are going to the doctors to get our check up, well, not my check up but Eve’s. We have been blessed to have found a pediatrician who was willing to take us on. I realize that you don’t “need” one but when given the opportunity to use our family doctor and be referred whenever needed or to just have one, well… I’ll take the pediatrician and skip the referral step.

Eve checked out great! She is happy and healthy and that is all a father could ask for.

It’s time to head over to Grand-mère’s place and introduce Eve to her Great uncle and aunt from Calgary.

Once again we had a great visit and it was time to go home and rest. This was our first time out and about since being home from the hospital and it was surprising how much it took out of us.

The rest of our day was spent together as a family, at home. As I sat and looked at my daughter, I said to Sue “Life will never be the same”. It was at that moment that I realized what we had made together. We brought a life into this world, and she was my responsibility. I need to feed her, cloth her, help mold her and most importantly, protect her. The realization was SO strong I can’t even really quantify it.

As I stand over her crib and watch her sleep I am filled with so many emotions and I am so excited to get to know her as she grows and as I learn to be the father I’m called to be.
