… well for those that don’t know yet, we’re having a little one! Yes it’s true, Mr. “I don’t want kids” compromised and we’re having one. One little bambino. We found out that it’s going to be a girl. Hee Hee!

Truth be told, I’ve been spending the last year warming up to the idea of offspring. I can genuinely say that I’m excited. And not too worried either! (I knew these emotional suppression skills could be put to use one day!)

I’ve been doing some reading, some TV watching and a WHOLE LOT of observing trying to mentally prepare for the coming of the new soul. We’ve had the chance to pick up some second-hand stuff from one of Christine’s co-workers. We have treated ourselves with one item though, a “gliding” rocking chair. Christine figures we’ll a few years use out of it… which is good.

At this stage I feel pretty useless. It seems the mother-to-be is the one bearing a lot (pretty much all) the brunt and inconvenience of pregnancy. I’ve tried to be as supportive as I can, considering I’m a useless “man”. I think I’ll feel more useful when there is actually a separate little being to take care of. A little tummy I can tickle and a bum I can (uugghhhhh!) wipe. Little pooper.

Anyhoo… ’til next post!
