Ok, to make a long story short, I haven't seen my father since Christmas of 2007. We stopped talking about 2 months before DH and I got married. He didn't come to my wedding, and we only just started speaking about a year ago.
Since he found out about Baby Mo, he has been calling a lot more often, and I really do think he is excited. I believe that this baby has made him realize what he is missing out on by not being a part of my life.
Well, he and his wife are coming to my house on Saturday. They have bought some stuff for the baby and he wants to make sure we get it before she is born.
I am SO nervous. He and I have never had the best relationship, but we always just worked it out. I don't know if there is anything that can be said, I just really needed to put it out there somewhere that I am freaking out.
I will say, though, that I am glad to be getting this initial meeting out of the way to avoid the awkwardness when Addie is born.
I guess if y'all could keep me in your thoughts and prayers this weekend that would be great. Thanks!
Re: Really Nervous!
Good Luck! I'll be thinking about you and I truely hope it works out for you.
MY father has never been a real dad and didn't come to the hospital to see Collin at all. I took Collin to see him when C was 2 weeks old to try and open the door. Needless to say it was slammed back in my face and he hasn't called to ask about C once.
Just go in with a open mind and I hope it works out for the both of you so Addie can have her Grandpa in her live.
