I am BEYOND excited. This has been a whirlwind part of my life. I am 3 months into a new job here at Sotheby's International Realty, I'm not depressed for the first time in years, and as if it couldn't get ANY better, I'm going to be a Dad. I've been waiting for this moment for years. Even before I met your mother, I knew that I wanted to be a Dad. We heard your heart beat for the first time two days ago and I was pretty sure mine was going to stop from excitement. Mom and I have been busy comparing your current size to food items (I think you're somewhere between a lentil and a pine nut at this point) and talking about all of things that we're excited about. Mom is a little touchy, but she's busy growing you so I don't blame her. Your dear old Dad here also doesn't think all too hard before he opens his mouth, so she's not entirely at fault, haha. We argued about the "selfishness" of getting massages today from Groupon for $9 and whether or not Mom could too. Needless to say, it was not pretty. Plus, if you're anything like the two of us (which is likely going to be the case) you're going to undoubtedly be a handful.

I'm looking forward to meeting you. I'm sure the next 8 months or so leading up to your arrival will be a fair mixture of arduous and exciting times, but I'm pumped for all of it. We briefly (amidst our earlier argument) looked at New York Mets shirts for Mom to wear this Summer as your fate has already been decided to lean towards Orange and Blue.

What I did at work today: I'm working on piece about the "Tiny Homes Movement" and spinning it to showcase some pretty massive luxury homes.

What's Eating My Brain? Our next appointment to see the doctor is March 2nd. We should get a better look at you then. I can't wait to find out that you're growing and healthy, to get a better idea of when you're actually getting here, and whether or not you're a boy or girl. For what it's worth, we seem to have our names picked and I personally have NO PREFERENCE as to what you come out as. Just as long as you don't have a tail and you're healthy, that's all I care about.
