And now... the secret is out!

I am officially talking publicly about this.

Kristen is about 8 1/2 weeks pregnant. Estimates date of delivery is somewhere in late February, which means we get our very own Aquarius.

To be perfectly honest, I have.. alot of different feelings about what it's going to mean to be a person. At first, once it was confirmed, I was terrified. My life, such as I knew it, was about to change significantly and that's still, honestly, very scary. I don't know... well.. alot of things.

But... having had some time to think about it, I'm feeling pretty stoked. I don't think I have words to explain why, though I suspect every Dad reading this post knows exactly what I mean. It's simultaneously frightening that we're about to deal with a BABY but at the same time, one day that Baby will grow from... Level 0 Dorklet that eats, poops, cries and sleeps to... a full fledged Dork with mad leet Dork powers.

So... yeah. Everything changes. Everything's BEEN Changing, but this definitely puts a point on it.

Wow that's awesome! Congrats to both of you!! If either of you have any questions etc let me know. Since I just went through it myself less then 10 months ago its still fairly fresh. Please let Kristen know that she's welcome to add me as well if she likes.

I'm so excited for you both!

I will do that. :)

We're lucky that way. We both have lots of friends who have just had babies or are just about to have babies or had babies not so long ago. Lots of sources of information to tap. Thanks for being one of them. :)

Heh, just wait until people start trying to give you their old baby stuff. Seriously, when I was pregnant and told someone I knew who had kids their eyes would light up and seconds after congratulating me they would inform me they had a ton of baby stuff to give me. Now that Kailey is older and has outgrown a bunch of stuff I can understand their zeal.
