Confessions of a New Dad To Be

6 months to go. Well technically 5.5 months. 5.5 months until our worlds forever change for the better. Don't get me wrong. Sarah and I love our time together, sitting on the couch or being able to just pick up and go where we want, when we want. But we often say to each other that our house feels kind of empty. When we have our nieces or nephews over, we love it. We love having someone else in that house to help fill it up. Yeah, a 100lb dog helps fills things up, and he'll forever be our 1st child and a part of our family, but the two legged kind is different. At least I hope it has two legs. Sarah recorded a show on Discover about Octopus Man. I couldn't watch it. I sure hope we don't have an octopus.

So anyway, let's see. We find out next month what we are having. I really think that will help me wrap my brain around this whole deal. Dance recitals or baseball games? Hair braids or buzz cuts? Barbie or GI Joe? Of course it is entirely possible we have a baby girl who likes baseball, wants short hair, and wants to play with GI Joe. Or a baby boy who wants to dance, has long hair he braids like Snoop, and has a strange fascination with Barbie. While either of those scenarios may cause Daddy some moments of disconcert, we'll manage just fine.

The trips to the doctor's are rather interesting to me. I find myself wondering about the lives of the people we see there. There is a couple that we always see, and it's crazy to think this couple will go through the same things we will, almost at the same time. You see young single girls, and you wonder if they have the same excitement we have, or are they scared out of their minds? It's all pretty much insane, but we love it. We'll keep everyone up to date on things from here out, and again vow to better at this whole blogging thing.
