Although it was very tempting to be a gushy dad and say how proud I am of being a dad to Matilda and soon the sprout, when I actually thought about it I’m proud of something even more fundamental and important, that dear reader is my little boys, my swimmers, my wing men if you like.
Those little chaps have proved that Matilda was no happy coincidence and done their stuff again. They took on that epic journey and at least one made it to the end past all the obstacles and challenges (like an episode of 41 degrees North only warmer).
So here in this week where we are prompted to provide a photo of ‘something we’re proud of’, I give you the result of my swimmers work (you didn’t think I was going to show a photo of ‘that’ did you?).

Lol this made me smile, of course you’re also proud of your partner for going through 9 months of hell completing the work your little swimmers started right? :p

Aaah now to think you could have posted a photo of your sperms. Thanks for refraining 😉

I was tempted but you know didn’t think that would really make me any friends in the mum community

Given it’s the only bit we are actually responsible for yes, lots of pressure on those few seconds 🙂

It’s nice to get a man’s perspective on the happiness that comes with the wonder that is creating children.
Than k goodness we didn’t get a picture of the swimmers!!
November 24, 2011 at 10:05 am
hehe but no one wants to see that do they?

It is truly amazing how much you can see at 12 weeks when it’s so tiny still
November 24, 2011 at 9:38 am
You are such a bloke 🙂

Well someone has to bring the mans point of view in amongst all the mums who are proud of their children
