Every morning and every night, my baby is among my first and last thoughts. I wonder at what they will look like, which attributes they will have of mine and which of their mother.

I guess at what their interests will be and I have imaginary conversations with them, at different stages in their life. It’s really quite sappy, but I can’t wait to have a child and a friend at the same time.

The anticipation has of course made me wonder how my father was when he learned I was on the way.
