BEAUTIFUL VIDEO: Bawling Dad-to-be

Erika always knew how she was going to tell Jacob they were expecting a child.

And she finally got her chance, giving her partner a print with a poem on the back, that read:

ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE (BY ERIKA JACKSON)

ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE!
I KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE
ALL MY GREATEST ADVENTURES
HAVE ALWAYS BEEN WITH YOU

ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE!
YOU ALWAYS MAKE IT SO
WHENEVER INHIBITION FINDS ME
YOU REMIND ME TO LET GO

ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE!
AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE
NOW THAT THE TWO OF US
ARE SOON BECOMING THREE!

Jacob’s reaction to finding out he is going to be a Dad is absolutely beautiful.

Check it out in the video below:

What a beautiful and novel way to let him know you’re having a baby. I got a bit teary eyed myself

My husband and I both bawled. After 4 years of trying and being totally in it together, we were in separate states. But, he had to be the first to know, so he cried in Melbourne and I cried in Cairns. It was amazing and exciting, and yet such a shame that we were not together when the Doctor called me.

Just gorgeous! Hubby was at my Dr appointment with me when the Dr told me I was pregnant. The second one neither of us believed it bug kind of did, so we learnt of it together again

I told my husband I couldn’t smoke cigarettes anymore and that I pro shouldn’t have a glass of wine. Took a few seconds then he got it.

We tried for a long time to fall pregnant and was on the door of the fertility clinic, however fell pregnant naturally. I found out with the call that day that we were pregnant, I asked my husband to meet me up the street and I seen him coming – my first instinct was to dive into the bookshop to my left quickly. I ask the attendant where the books on parenting were and found one about being a dad all something like that, it took hubby a minute or two but the reaction was priceless he burst into tears and we cried and hugged right the middle of the shop.

Gorgeous video! I sms my partner with a photo of the test. I can’t recall but I think it took him ages to work out what it meant!
