(no subject)
since i posted it everywhere else that i have a web presence, i have been slow in annoucing here that kate and i are expecting the birth our first child in january. kate has been holding up okay, typical morning sickness and nausau has been her main obstacle over the last couple of months. thankfully she is now in her second trimester, fifteen weeks to be exact, and things have seemed to have gone back to normal for the most part.
as for our hopes and expectations, our only concern is that we have a healthy baby. my concern is that if we produce a girl, my days are pretty much numbered. i have had trouble enough not spoiling the women in my life, let alone one that i played a part in creating. friends have mentioned that my basic instinct would be spoil the baby no matter what sex it is, but for some reason i am still reluctant to believe that this is true. maybe it's because my dad never had much trouble in telling me no. on the other hand, my stepsister and cousins get whatever they want from the man. i would believe that would be something passed down through the generations.
