"In nature, everything has a job. The job of the fog is to beautify further the existing beauties!" ~Mehmet Murat Ildan

When I say my eyes were drawn to them like a magnet!

Like he would videotape EVERYTHING, rant to the camera about how they're (the baby) is making you feel too cranky to cuddle, or- OR 🥺how he would try to adjust the camera from falling on the counter late at night before just leaning it on one of the jars you have and he would rant to it about how they (the baby) is causing you so many food cravings while prepping something for you to eat

Then when your water breaks, he's busy tryna talk to the camera about how's he's happy to see them and stuff but ends it abruptly when you yell at him to hurry tf up

Then the camera cuts to him in the hospital, however, you're the one recording this time since he fell asleep before you closed it to rest yourself. Finally, it cuts back to him holding the camera with you holding a bundle in your arms with tinier arms reaching out for you 🥺

SFAFDZNASKDF CRYING!!!

And, and, and alongside cravings and moods and all the snacks he makes... I bet he also documents how big your belly is getting with a hand on your tummy. He's got fat hands anyway but seeing them appear more and more normal-sized the bigger baby gets, he's so excited to compare every week or so.

He also always makes you both do little hauls with things you buy for them, too. All the clothes and socks and toys... and he definitely tries to record you both setting up the nursery (even if the video consists of more fighting about whether or not you can lift something than actual... work, BUT!!!).

I'M GOING CRAZY... just imagining the progression from like... awkward excitedness to being confident to jittery nerves again the further along you get. Part of him feels like documenting things via recording is so... silly, esp when you can hardly see your bump at first... but he ends up being so, SO HAPPY that he started early when your due date is right around the corner and everything is just a rush to make sure things go smoothly.

And in true dad-fashion, after you get your baby is home and you eventually go to watch the tapes back, Kiri starts BAWLING literally 2 minutes into the first clip.
