\"\"<\/a>Well, if I was asked that question I would have to say my wife\u2026Annie. I\u2019ve known her for going on six years now but seeing her pregnant has shown me things about her that I would not have otherwise seen. It has been amazing to see just how in love she has been with this little dude that we have yet to meet and the process of being pregnant and \u201cbuilding\u201d him. She has been in tune and \u201cpresent\u201d every step of this journey, from our first pregnancy that ended in a miscarriage to this pregnancy that is now at 32.5 weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

I would not specifically point to one thing or use one adjective to describe my point, it has more to do with all the nuances and subtleties of her being her while carrying this human life. There are many men that have gone through this before me, but I wonder how in tune they have been. Since we, the men, aren\u2019t the \u201ccarrying case\u201d for these babies it can be hard I suppose, to be in touch with all that is going on. My response to men that have this issue is to be in tune with the woman; this can help if you are struggling to be in tune with the baby due to feeling a lack of connection. <\/span><\/p>\n

My personal situation has been an absolute dream, I suppose I have been extremely lucky. Annie is not a complainer nor is she the type to sit around and do nothing. During this entire process she has been ready and willing to live our normal life the best that she can\u2026she has been a trooper! She still works out at CrossFit two to four days per week and has been going to work like normal. And again, the words I\u2019m using just don\u2019t quite get my point across.<\/span><\/p>\n

I guess what I\u2019m talking about is the natural way in which Annie (and I\u2019m sure so many pregnant women) has taken to being pregnant and embracing it with every smile and loving rub of her belly. She loves this baby boy more than anything\u2026and for me to be able to have a front row seat to that makes me absolutely thrilled. Watching her be her, watching her interaction with this unborn bund connects me to the situation more than I can say. For a while I was trying to connect to the baby but it\u2019s simply difficult for the guy, but what I was ignoring was Annie. By being in tune with Annie I am automatically connected to the baby because she\u2019s my window to him.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s quite possible that I am not wording this as well as I would like to but the point here is that Annie has become my connection to the pregnancy and for some reason I was overlooking that and trying to be directly connected to the baby. This is Annie\u2019s time\u2026she is doing something that I will never be able to do and that\u2019s okay. Allowing her this time is only making the three of us stronger. I probably don\u2019t tell her as much as I should but it has been an absolute privilege to be front row. My hope is that other men have this opportunity in life, it\u2019s proof that love is endless and it reminds us just how short this journey is. Slow down, absorb this time and all these crazy moments\u2026they\u2019ll be gone before you know it.<\/span><\/p>\n
