I'm going to be a daddy.

Just typing these words gives a new thrill. These words, and similar phrases, have been dancing in my head for the last month. What I can't put into words is any accurate reflection of the feelings this creates in me. I've had many significant moments in my life, Bar Mitzvah, graduations, my wedding, and accompanying these times is always a unique feeling of wonder, a sense of accomplishment. Now I have that feeling again, but it's indescribably different. There is a little person growing in Kate's belly, a new life that I helped to create. And he or she is already the object of so much love and affection.

I'm going to be a daddy.
