I began work on two new projects simultaneously -... Read>> Posted October 21, 2009
BRINGING UP A BABY GIRL So much to think about, so little experience! (As I mentioned a few blog posts ago, please slide or click your way through the new "Slideoo" image tool above to see all the pictures)
Megan and I just got back from the doctor and, through the wonders of modern science we were able to see our baby girl, moving around, on the screen, in real time.
Well it was pretty cool.
I guess I'm just like every other dad since the dawn of time that is secretly annoyed at all the fuss surrounding babies - until he has his own - and then everything changes.
Megan sort of thought that this baby would be a girl. I wasn't sure why but we could really only imagine good girl names, she started knitting a sweater (almost done!) that would really work best for a girl, and frequently chastised me for referring to "it" as a "he".
Well, after all of our wondering and hoping, we now can begin to strange process of planning for the arrival of an actual person. There is really nothing that can totally prepare someone for this event, so I'm not worried about being unprepared, I'm just sort of... shocked.
Why? I have no idea. But if bringing a real live human being into this world isn't enough to shock you, I don't know what is.
Now it's time to think about where the little kangaroo is gonna sleep, where her clothes are gonna go, what kind of strollers you need to buy, how much money to put in her college fund...
Yeah...
Bring it on.
p.s. If the second picture above is a bit hard to figure out, just scroll to the right and, if you look carefully, you should be able to make out a slightly clearer picture of our tiny kangaroo daughter. Posted April 01, 2010
