Congrats mk! This article was especially timely for me too -- we're expecting our first in November, a daughter. It's going to be an amazing adventure..

To mk and bhousel CONGRATS! BH, my daughter is now 8 months old and it's the best thing ever. -so much fun every single day. mk is right though, charge the batteries. Also, some words of advice to the both of you: do as much spontaneous activity as possible now. Go out to lots of dinners and stay out late. See movies. Drink. That project that you've been tinkering with... finish it, but start a new one to work on when the baby comes. You know how everyone says, "your life is going to change so much"? -They are right, but all of the good stuff remains and it tends to be the superfluous stuff that you could do without that disappears. -It changes for the better. Best of luck to you both! Share updates, I'm always curious to know what the biggest shocks are for people regarding this journey.

That's awesome bhousel! Congratulations. We won't know for another month and a half, I think.

Charge those batteries now. :)
