Well, I had planned to write something mundane and normal this evening, but when I dandled my laptop on my knee and noted the RSS posts feeding in, I noticed a particular topic that Emily had just labored through that induced me to change my mind.

We’re parents. Yep. And our as yet androgynous* little bundle of joy is about one month old. The due date is some time around early September. From doing research online, our baby’s little blobby body definitely resembles its father.

Emily and I have been telling everyone (the millions that have asked) that we’ll have a child whenever the Lord gives us one. And in His perfect timing, our baby will be coming after we’re settled into our new house and Emily will be on summer break during her third trimester. I don’t think things could have worked out better. Except maybe if everyone else on both sides of the family didn’t have birthdays in September. What is it about December, anyway? Maybe it’s all the Bing Crosby and Johnny Mathis…

* This seems somewhat analagous to modern physics… the particle doesn’t have a speed or a position until I observe it… the child has no gender until I observe it.

Okay. I’ll shut up.
