Thanks again everyone.
To her and I this is something really special, our whole story, and marriage is. Meeting on a game like MS, where so many people play, and us finding eachother, is truly something that we cherish. Now with our first child on the way, it is reminding us of that all over again. Despite the fact that we don't really play anymore. But thanks again guys!
I guess I'm just overall worried.. I've always loved kids, and I am great with babies. Got a crying kid? Toss em to me for a bit, and they will brighten right up. Though I'm sure that won't always be the case with my own little bundle of joy lol. I remember being at my uncles place and his two daughters were about 3-4 at the time, and were running all around the house, and I just kept seeing table corners, and the fire place bricks, and everything they could fall or hit themselves on. So I finally mention it to him, cause he could see the worried look on my face, and he said something along the lines of, "At some point you just need to let go in a way, and trust them a bit" This is something I know I am going to struggle with.
Did any of you ever feel like you were being too overprotective of your child? I really don't want to be that kind of Dad, but it's in my nature to be really overprotective of those I love. For example with my wife.. whenever we walk down stairs, I grip her hand a bit tighter, ya know..just in case she slips! That kind of stuff. So how did all of you deal with that point where you kind of loosened your "worry leash" so to speak?
Thanks guys
