I'm incredibly excited to tell you that my wife and I are expecting a baby in a few months. After spending so many years exploring my feminine side, I can't wait to welcome a new girl into our family and help her discover the world for herself.
It's bittersweet, because while I'm planning on spending as much time and energy as I can raising her, I won't have nearly as much time for crossdressing. While there will always be a feminine side of me, I can't see myself going out shopping, watching shows, or dancing on a regular basis. But I'm content with that.
One day when I was in university, I went to the mall dressed in a pink tank top and a miniskirt, and tried on some gorgeous evening gowns. I felt like a princess, and I thought that it surely was the most exciting thing I'd ever do while crossdressed. I couldn't have been more mistaken. Over the next decade, I had an sequence of one 'first time' after another. I went to dinners, concerts, musicals, and shows, and I traveled by train, boat, and plane to places around the world. I did girly things, like going for a mani/pedi, an ear piercing, a leg wax, a makeover, and a photoshoot. I ran, biked, and swam. I went to school and work. I practiced my voice, and I eventually felt confident enough to make friends. I went to Paint Nite, joined a dance team, and went out for social events, without anyone appearing to suspect that I hadn't been born female. I think I can honestly say that I've checked off every item on my bucket list.
I have a question for all of you. Before my little one arrives, I think I'll have the chance to go out once or twice more. I'm not going to purge, but I'm pretty certain that my priorities will be changing. If you knew that tomorrow would be the last time you went out crossdressed, what would you do? Dinner and a show? A makeover and photoshoot? Shopping - or at least, trying on clothes?
I've been so inspired by all of you on this site. Your stories, from cautiously sneaking out the door in a dress for the first time to partying it up in a Vegas nightclub, have encouraged me to live life to its fullest. Thank you for sharing your selves, and keep being you!
Love,
Andrea
