2 posts in a week? Wow!
Today, my wife is officially at term (37 weeks). In other words, if she went into labor today, they would not stop it. Having a wife that could go into labor at any minute is exciting, scary, and stressful. I have to be particularly diligent at work at leaving my files so someone can pick them up and run with them at a moment's notice. I also have to make sure I don't fall behind in getting my time in (as a lawyer, i need to account for every second of my day which is tedious and annoying).
My wife is doing great, though. I admire how brave she is and how she is still working 40 hours a week, teaching a class at Northeastern Universtity, going to the gym several days a week, and just generally being awesome. Sure, she gets tired and moody sometimes, but can you blame her? Plus she puts up with me which isn't always a walk in the park.
I'm on the precipice of a major life chaneg and find no way to prepare myself. The other night, I sat in the glider in the baby's room and tried to picture what life would be like. I just couldn't do it. I imagine, however, that even if I could picture it, I'd be wrong.
Fun fact: We have nicknamed the baby "kiki" (because she kicks a lot). People keep thinking this is actually what we are going to name the baby. It is not.
