Incase this blog didn’t make sense. reread the title.
I’m as scared and as ready as I’ll ever be. Shelves are stocked with diapers. All the stuff is put together. Carseat is in the car. Checklist are done.I take courage in the fact that others have come before me. Anyday now. Any minute I could get the call. There is going to be another human hanging around our house. That’s a crazy thought. This is the final countdown next time we talk my life will be a whole lot different. For the better. This is why we do it. This is why. Come on gwendolyn. I’m excited to be your dad. As always thanks for coming along on this journey. Adapt or die.
