At times, we feel like the baby isn't anywhere near here yet, and other times, it feels like the impending birth is rushing towards us like ground in a freefall. Moments when you feel like you're losing you breath (because you've got to get a lady to watch the baby, and you've got to make all this room in your life, and you've got to bolt that piece of furniture to the wall, and what about that mattress pad, is it too thick) are matched by moments when you think you've got plenty of time. But I'm getting ahead of myself here.

I was thinking that it might be nice to write down some thoughts as we get close to the baby's birth. Once the little man is here, I'm sure I will have good intentions, but we'll see exactly how much blogging I do when there is a little person depending on my wife and me for every...single...aspect...of..its...existence.
