Summary:
At just six weeks into our pregnancy journey, my wife and I are trying to grasp the concept of having a baby. Our concerns vary greatly. I’m preoccupied with the financial and moral responsibilities of parenting, while my wife is understandably anxious about delivering something the size of a watermelon.Keywords:

Six weeks into our pregnancy, my wife and I are still trying to wrap our heads around this new chapter. Our thoughts on the matter are quite different. While I’m concerned about whether we can handle the financial and moral responsibilities of raising a child, my wife is more worried about the logistics of delivering a baby.
So far, we've kept our news to ourselves. Frankly, it doesn’t quite feel real yet. Despite my wife's mood swings, odd food cravings, and complaints about feeling bloated, this isn’t much different from the five years I've known her?"and I still married her.
Currently, our baby isn’t really a "he" or "she" to us?"more of an "it." We’ve been following several baby websites that compare our baby’s size to fruits. One week, it's "the size of a sesame seed," and a few weeks later, "the size of a raisin."
If these sites had their way, we'd all measure ourselves with produce. I’d be 8.4 carrots tall, and my weight would flash like a slot machine: 250 pumpkins, two oranges, and three cherries.
Every day, I check these sites and see that our baby is only the size of a grape. It’s hard to feel a deep connection to something so tiny, especially when it’s not even a fully developed grape. Right now, it's more like a little pink blob, resembling a squished grape.
Our baby is just beginning to develop organs, so we don't have much in common with our minuscule offspring. I may not be a complex guy, but I do enjoy lounging with a TV remote in one hand and a beer in the other. Currently, our baby doesn’t have hands to hold the remote, nor a liver to process beer.
This experience feels so surreal that my wife and I struggle to find the right words to talk about being pregnant. Saying "we’re pregnant" sounds like we're a set of Siamese twins sharing one body and engaging in unspeakable acts. My wife is the one who’s pregnant, and I’m just the guy who contributed (or so she claims).
We've cycled through various phrases for our situation, like "knocked up," "expecting," "got a bun in the oven," "violated," and even "been slimed." We'll likely need to edit some of these when we share the news with our families.
So here we are in the baby-making process. The baby exists, but right now, it's just a tiny, gooey thing with little personality and even less mass. I know fatherhood will eventually change my life, but at the moment, I'm not feeling it.
However, I’ve decided to avoid eating grapes until our baby grows to the size of a lime.
