This is a weblog, a blog. It has a beginning, and like all good stories, it will have an end. This story's estimated ending is on November 1, my 35th birthday and also the due date of the newest addition to our family. It should without saying, but I will say it anyway, the wife and I are thrilled with the idea of sharing our life with a baby. I think we are probably as ready as people can be for such a big change. At the same time, it is becoming tougher to deny that we (and particularly me) are a little overwhelmed by what needs to be done between now and then. Not so much the furniture and teething toys, but more making sure I am in a good place to be fully present for this kid. In talking with Melissa (the wife), I realize that I need to take full advantage of the next 146 days (give or take).
In addition, I think documentation is good. Not only for the kid to see later, but also for Melissa and myself as we go through this big change in our life. In a way, I feel like I am little late with the documentation machine (she is already 19 weeks along), but I am pretty sure a daily weblog will be a good way to catch up.
My hope is that this is funny, interesting, and that we don’t look too stupid. That being said, it’s our first time through all of this, so you will have to cut us some slack.
So, without further ado, here goes nothing…
