13 weeks

by

flyingtony.jpgTony was born 13 weeks ago today. Wow. It seems like just yesterday and, at the same time, It’s hard to remember life without him. I really can’t remember life without Jack.At the conference today I saw a baby and really missed Tony. I stopped just short of asking this guy if I could smell the babies head.Later I heard a little girl laughing and it sounded like Jack. This should have been my weekend with him. I made sure she had one of the rubber duckies a company was giving away as SWAG. I was talking to some college students today and told them about my wife…how great of an actress I think she is.

I wear the mantle of husband and father all the time. I’m just very proud of my family. Isn’t that the way it’s supposed to be? I miss them very much tonight.

Sarah called me during dinner and I could hear Tony crying in the background. My heart melted. They needed me and I was not there. It’s alot like the times my ex would call me with Jack screaming in the background. What do you say? I knew she needed answers, of which I had none. And keeping her on the phone wasn’t going to help at all. So she let me go, and I just had to wait…while she tries to figure out this c]screaming baby. And now I have all these questions. Fever? Maybe pressure from the weather? Ear infection? But bugging her is not the answer. I just have to wait.

About Sympathy Pain

The "Sympathy Pain" blog is a father's view of what is generally viewed as "woman only" territory, pregnancy. The blog also looks into the blended family and how a new addition affects that family. "Sympathy Pain" is not a battle of the sexes sight, but rather, an open forum for moms and dads.
