In the last two weeks I've been to two weddings, in both of which I was a groomsman. I've been traveling back and forth across the country, looking for a job, looking for an apartment, trying to finish my novel, and trying to achieve total enlightenment, which is an ongoing thing. In short, I've been super busy and that's why my posts have been a little scattered (and non-existent some days). Sorry about that. We soldier on!
So where's junior at? Today we opened a baby account to help manage our funds for cribs, strollers, breast pumps and all the other necessities. My partner is now showing with pretty much the cutest little bump I could imagine. I've also taken to pointing it out to everyone we talk to, just in case they don't notice. This was fun at the weddings. People really freak out when you haven't seen them for awhile and you tell them about expecting. It turns out that one my long lost cousins is also going to be a dad soon. It's raining babies!
It's true, if not literally. I've noticed that somewhere around ten people I know are having babies this year. I thought for sure as I hit thirty that I'd belong to a barren generation, but here they come! I can't tell this baby bonanza is an age thing, or if it's just a cultural thing right now. Can it be "in" to have a baby? I remember a few years ago when all of those teenage girls at that school in the States decided to have a mass baby-fest. Are my friends doing the same thing? For us it had everything to do with our age. I don't kow about the others. I'll ask and report back.
Baby's the size of an onion this week. We're nearly half way through the pregnancy. If all goes well we find out the sex on September 13th. I know I'll be happy either way, though I feel like I'll be a little sad that it wasn't the opposite sex of whatever it ends up being. I have such an easy time picturing both. Perhaps we'll just have to do Baby Daddy Blog part 2!
