Ramblings of a Dad-to-Be

- Our baby is due April 11^th and is supposed to be a boy. Would it be the ultimate April Fools if the baby was born 10 days early and was a girl?

- I said “my son” for the first time the other day. It was a very real moment for me. This was after I bought him his first Buccaneers item-- a stuffed “Captain Fear”.

Cute or frightening? A little of both perhaps?

- A friend was telling me the other day about his young son drawing on the walls… with his poop. I’m not sure they make enough disinfectant wipes to clean that up.

- A girl I went to high school with had a 9.9 lb baby this week. I’ll write her a note to congratulate her, but first I have to revive Melissa who passed out after hearing this news.

- As soon as someone hears we’re having a boy, they want to know the name. That’s understandable. What I don’t get is why some of them seem angry when I won’t tell.

- I’m not going to tell you either. (Also, we haven’t decided)

- Beginning work on the nursery. We’re starting with a closet organizer… and none too soon we need somewhere to put all the baby clothes from the grandparents-to-be.

- Speaking of which... my mom and Melissa are going baby shopping this weekend. Babies R Us won't know what hit it.

- We signed up for all our baby classes. One class is 8 hours long. One is about breastfeeding. Going to be good blog material.

Two shameless plugs:

- Proving there really is an "App" for that... I’m actually updating my twitter page @roomforacarseat. So far I have 2 followers.

- I get paid for each time a reader clicks on an ad. So far I’m up to a $.25. Yep, a quarter can’t buy many diapers with that. Just remember, you don’t actually have to look at the ad.
