In 2008, Thomas Beatie became the first male to become pregnant. In July of 2010, I followed in his footsteps by completing a Crossfit workout wearing a 50lb weight vest and a giant pillow under my shirt. The result? Humbling. People have been asking me if I'm getting nervous about having a kid. Nervous? No. Anxious? Yes. Pressure? Definitely. I met Jalah when she was on her final stages of potty training. She can hold a casual conversation with the most difficult politicians and discuss religions with the highest order clergy. And she can count to twenty five in Spanish but occasionally forgets 21. So is there pressure with our second kid? Absolutely. I was pumped about having a baby boy. Last week at our baby shower, we received so many gifts to which I do not know the use for. I was too busy in Toys R Us seeing how far I could shoot the gun at barcodes instead of listening to Shan. My expectations are that Jaxx is going to pop out, win a state title, and get a full ride to college while I'm wearing a ____University sweater at fall games. I hear it doesnt work that way. Two hours of sleep at a time at night? Baby boys have bad aim?? We shouldnt have gotten white couches because of the chocolate milk kisses, dirty hands, and leaky diapers?? Are you kidding me? But I'm up for the challenge. I mean how hard can it be, right? I've raised a hamster before. I'm qualified.
