No, the baby isn't here yet.
Just a few random thoughts about becoming a father, and having a baby in the house.
Can't leave stuff on counters anymore.
Have to vacuum more often. Sadie, Frannie . . . I'm talking to you. The hair is on you for a reason. Try to keep it there.
......
All of a sudden, you add another person to your family. Yes, you definetly could have planned it like we did, but you now have a person that is 100% dependent on you for everything. Yes, Mrs. Rocker is dependent on me for certain things, especially in her current pregnant state. But I don't have to worry about her getting food when she needs it.
Trips are no longer spur of the moment ideas. They have to be carefully planned. Do we have enough diapers in the diaper bag? Bottles? Changes of clothes? Toys? Stroller?
Time to get ready for a trip just tripled.
How fast is "driving to fast?"
Do I need to get in naps when the baby is napping?
Winnie the Pooh, I love you. I will have your books memorized.
I'll go get us something to eat if you don't feel like cooking.
.................
Lots of changes at the flip of a switch. Hopefully it will go smooth. I have a great wife who will help me along the journey.

All that stuff-- the least of your worries. You're having a girl, right? A wise woman (the mother of boys) once told me, "When you have a boy, you have to worry about one penis. When you have a girl, you have to worry about ALL OF THEM."
