We’re in that limbo between knowing she’s pregnant and not really being able to get our hopes up about it. It’s a little insane. And of course here I am starting a blog and buying these books and sort of setting myself up to be really sad if the pregnancy doesn’t get past that magical 12th week again.
But, you know, this is just the way it is. Sure, things might not work out, but I really think that they eventually will. So consider this stuff preparation for this time, or the next time, or the time after that.
And really, this limbo state is simply the first of many limbo states that we will continue to be in for the rest of our lives. Uncertainty about outcomes is part of the magic of life, especially when it involves bringing another life into our lives, and this will be good practice for acting while uncertain.
Truth is, I am excited. And I am aware that I’m wholly not prepared for what we’re getting ourselves into. This new blog is my attempt to get ramped up to speed on everything I need to know during Esther’s pregnancy, and beyond.

Holy shit! I’m excited too. You should embrace the excitement and run with it. To be too scared to think about it would be a disservice to the little person incubating in your wife’s precious womb.
Love the blog. And yeah, get reading! Nine months from now you need to be ready for your dissertation.
