1. Drawing up a list of names for both sexes…my progeny is 12 weeks old in utero so I don’t know yet.
2. Having anxiety attacks – 3 years of married life wallowing in blissful irresponsibility is about to change soon. heck, am I up to the task?
3. Thinking if I can out-father my father. My pop for me is the best dad in the world. He’s not perfect but he’s a hardworking provider, mentor and motivator. Can I fill his big shoes? Time will tell.
4. Checking out baby stuff in the mall with my better half. She used to egg me to that corner where cribs and strollers and mobiles and hotdog pillows are and I used to say, “what for?” Now I can’t reason with her. Ha!
5. Getting my finances in order. I know it’s a daunting, if not a gargantuan task, coming at a time when the economic recession is hitting us the hardest. Time to quit whining and find a way that works.
6. Computing how old I would be when my kid reaches his/her milestones. Target date of birth is April 4, plus/minus two weeks. I’m still 31, going 32 that time. I’ll be 43 when he/she graduates from elementary, 47 when he/she graduates from highschool, 51 when he/she graduates from college. Don’t know if I’m still gonna be working for a call center at that time. Sounds kinda awkward. Would call centers still exist in that distant future? Wouldn’t everyone be communicating with their minds in psychic centers as technology has grown so advanced? Whatever. I’ll just be old when he/she meets the rest of the world. Hopefully , I have a wealth of experience and wisdom to share when that time comes.
