Hearing my wife say "I'm pregnant" while I stood with her in the bathroom...that was my "Woah. I'm a dad. B-b-but but but" moment. It was an unexpected and early blessing. By the time she was born, I was much more prepared in a "I've never done this before" sense.
This mini human was so delicate. I stared at her for a really really really really long time. It was amazing to witness. The sense of responsibility is what came immediately.
