[Mkguild] The Greatest Transformation

[Leo M Panther aka M vd Mosselaar]

Congratulations. Has she got a name yet or do you get to name her 
yourselves?
I wish you all the best. That's going to be a bunch of new firsts for you to 
experience.
Diaper changes, constant vigilance, waking up at any point at nigh or day 
because of crying.
The first time the baby sleeps trough the night followed by mommy's first 
smile.
For the child's sake I hope you are ready for all that responsibility.

Have your head in the clouds, but always keep your feet on the ground,

Leo M. Panther

This is one of the greatest transformations a husband can
experience.  Changing from a Husband to a Father.

My wife got the call today a little after noon.  We have been placed
for adoption!  Four years of waiting and suddenly, BAM!

The little girl who is going to be our daughter was born Dec 28th,
and we should be picking her up sometime next week.  The next few
days will be a mad scramble to buy all of the things we're going to
need (car seats, changing table, crib, diapers, clothes, bottles,
formula, etc...).  My wife and I will also be having a big talk
tonight once she gets home to decide what we're going to do going
forward with everything.

One thing this does mean is that my participation in the fandom is
going to take a big back seat for a while.  I'll try to come online
to chat on the weekends, and I do hope to still attend Furnal Equinox
and Anthrocon, but as of now my attendance at either is
provisional.  Also, my writing is going to be downgraded in priority,
but I also hope to keep it up.

Keep my family in your prayers.  We're going to need it as we enter
this amazing new chapter in our lives.

May He bless you and keep you in His grace and love,

Charles Matthias
