We had just sat down at a table at Marilyn’s, excited for the Tyrone Wells concert to start. I was wearing a little blue tunic, leggings, and my favorite black boots—feeling slightly cuter than my usual 8.5 month pregnant self. Despite the giant belly bump grazing the edge of our table, it felt like a real date. I smiled at Brett and told him I wanted to splurge on a fancy drink, like a diet cherry coke. He ordered one for each of us.
The opening act started and I moved my chair closer to Brett’s, grabbing his hand under the table.
“Are you okay?” he asked me.
“Yes….why?”
He looked at my belly, concerned.
“Do you think it’s too loud in here for him?”
I laughed. “No. He’s pretty well insulated.”
For the remainder of the concert I caught him stealing peeks at my belly, his eyes full of worry. I kept smiling, reassuring him that the baby was dancing and having a great time at his first concert.
Two hours later we walked out into the crisp cool air, raving about the show and laughing at the memory of the drunk cougar’s awesome dance moves. As we crossed K Street, Brett looked at my belly once again with anxious eyes.
“I’m just REALLY worried about his ears right now.”
I smiled.
….and that my friends, is how I know Brett will be a good dad.
On a related note, please enjoy this short video of Tyrone yodeling. Yes, I said yodeling…
Aww
My husband practiced diapering a stuffed dog to prepare for fatherhood. He also practiced putting the dog in the carseat … he’s an awesome dad 
That may just be the cutest thing I’ve ever heard!
How cute! I’m %110 positive he will be one of the best dads out there.
My mom went to a Santana concert the night before she had me. She actaully started having contractions at the concert, just minor ones. The next day at 4:20pm I made my arrival. Good thing Brett didn’t know this story, he would have had the directions to the hospital mapped out on his phone im sure. <3
I’m pretty sure Brett already has the hospital map memorized. That man is overly prepared
He is already being a great dad and the baby isn’t born yet.
So cute–bet the baby was loving the music.

Why does that not surprise me? I will always think of Jonathan as the guy who instructed me not to let Anna get water in her ears during bathtime.
Him and Brett were meant to be (overprotective) friends.
So sweet!
