The waiting has started. We have the nursery all ready and he has plenty of clothes. What is the hold up, buddy??
I know that my wife is definitely ready for this to be over. She doesn't sleep that well because she's up ever couple of hours and I'm just getting anxious. I just want the waiting to be over. I've never done well with anything that dealt with patience. I usually give my wife her birthday present a couple days early and we always find a reason to exchange Christmas gifts a few days early.
Everyday at work I get at least two or three "You're still here??" questions, or an email that just has "Baby??" in the subject. It'll be nice once he's here so I don't get those anymore. Then they will ask how much sleep I'm getting or something else. I guess I should get used to the questioning. It's hard for me since I'm usually a person who keeps to myself.
The only other time I have had this mix of excitement and fear is when going away to college. It's the excitement of something completely new, but the fear of the unknown. This baby thing scares me more since I don't have any clue about babies. Everyone assures me that I can't screw it up and will be a good dad. I hope they are right.
