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.

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.
