Baby on the way. Made in Taiwan. Help!
Remember the saying that goes something
like “if you look for love you won’t find it, but when you stop
looking it will come to you?” Well, it finally happened, except
in our case, we were looking for kids. Yes, we were cynical when
we wrote the cover page of our online
Christmas newsletter (click here to view).
Our statement, “No children to brag about
their first steps” hinted slight envy toward all you parents out
there. But now our view has changed. Needless to say, we’re
thrilled.
In the same newsletter, we denied that
Grace was pregnant, imploring you to quit asking us. At the time of posting,
Grace's true status was unbeknownst to us. This was an
honest mistake, and we regret the error. In reality, backward
calculations show that conception occurred during our Nov-Dec
trip to Hong Kong and Taiwan. The fact that there is a 13-hour
time difference between Orlando and Taipei may explain the fact
that Grace has had a problem with “evening” sickness. Apparently
baby still remains jetlagged.
We do welcome any advice you parents might
have,
because we (or perhaps more like I), don’t know where to start!
I just started learning how to do some home plumbing. Now
fatherhood and diapers?
 Arrggh! What books to get? What type of
crib or car seat? How do I know that the little cry is a true
cry for nourishment or just an annoying “I don’t like being in
the real world” cry? For all those parents out there, I have
nothing but the utmost respect for all of you.
We’ll keep you posted. You can be sure that
we’ll be bragging to you about our child's first steps.
