Hi everyone. As most of you were aware, Anne & I are expecting our first child, a girl, sometime in the next few weeks.

As it turns out, thanks to low-volume amniotic fluid and an obstreperously breech position (ah, our little troublemaker) the docs have recommended (most strongly) that for various and sundry reasons, our little girl arrive today. The kid is full-term, and certainly looks and behaves healthy on the ultrasounds.

So, we're waiting in the UM Mott/Women & Children's Hospital triage area, until we learn when Anne's Caesarian section is scheduled. Most likely this afternoon/early evening.

This isn't what we wanted for the birth of our first child, but we're not going to be any more ready, to be truthful.

Honestly, I can't wait to meet our daughter. :D

Best of luck! As long as you're aware that you're not ready, you'll do fine. It's the times when you get confident that you know exactly what to do that you're most likely to slip up. I know when my son was born in 2001, five and a half weeks early, I was absolutely terrified.

You'll do great. Congratulations, and welcome to the wonderful world of fatherhood!
