Is that a time bomb or is that my wife?

Guys I have to admit I have been looking at my wife strangely. It all started when we first suspected that she was pregnant. My wife and I had been trying to conceive for over 2 years and we had some close but no cigar moments. So when 5 months back when my wife was late we had learned to take it in stride. But then days went by and still she was late. So we decided to stop by the drug store one night and get one of those tests. We come back and get ready for bed. My wife takes the opportunity to use the test and low and behold it pops positive.

It was a strange feeling for me because I was ecstatic and skeptical at the same time. The doctors test would really prove that she was pregnant. But the funny thing was I kept looking at my wife as if she is going to explode. Like I keep waiting for something dramatic to happen to her. I am learning that the whole process is fairly deliberate and methodical but I can't seem to shake that feeling. Even now when we go to bed and I kiss my wife good night and say good night to the baby, it all seems a little surreal because she still looks rather normal but I know that our child is steadily growing in there. In less time than it takes for me to finish a project at work my mini me will be in this world.

I don't know how to really describe it. It is a really extreme mix of emotions. On one hand I can't wait for the baby to arrive, and on the other I want to be able to say STOP!!!! and control the whole process so that it all happens when I am ready. Then again the whole time we were trying I felt like I was ready, but when the magic happened I immediately questioned myself if I was really ready. I dunno its like all these feelings are switching around inside me like some sort of parental schizophrenic episode. Am I a freak or what?

So yeah, I keep looking at my wife like she is going to explode.
