My mother-in-law and sister-in-law are down to visit this weekend, and both are absolutely thrilled. They went out to Babies-R-Us and brought me home a gift, Kevin Nelson's The Everything Father-To-Be Book (which I'll review once I've read it).
Looking at it, I couldn't help but think that even though all this feels so strange and daunting, generations of fathers before me have gone through this, and they've all made it. I feel thoroughly overwhelmed, but putting things in perspective, there's nothin' special about me. My dad and his dad did a pretty damn good job, and they didn't have any frou-frou father-to-be books.
It'll all be good.
