Thoughts on being a father
I know I promised you more blogging on the whole birth experience, but time in front of a keyboard with both hands free has been at a premium the last 6 days. Every day, it seems, I’m falling another hundred or so messages further behind on Linux Kernel. Only 677 to go right now.
Anyway, the whole father thing. The thing is, I don’t really feel any more grown up and responsible than before. I don’t want to be all adult. But, now I have to be. I mean, in another couple of months, I’ll have a kid and a mortgage. How adult is that?
Everyone says becoming a parent is a life-changing event. However, so far, the biggest changes in my life are lack of sleep and never having my hands free.
Wow, this turned out to be a negative post. I don’t mean to be negative, really.
The birth itself was truely amazing. Well, boring and amazing. 
The first part was quite boring, for me at least. I sat around and tried to help Janette through her contractions, But the actual birth part was almost as amazing as I was told it would be. Words can’t explain, so I won’t even try.
Ending on a high note.
