When I first found out that my wife was pregnant I spent a day or so internally imagining how everything was going to soon change for me... but that was short lived since I tricked/convinced myself that I had nine more month to continue a lifestyle that I 'm accustomed to. Well, reality check happened last week and I haven't been same and probably won't. Friends of ours who had a due date a few weeks before us ended up having their delivery date come 7 weeks early. WTF!!! Besides having an early Christmas they had to go through the emotional turmoil on whether the little girl would actually pull through. She is doing better but not out of woods yet.

The wife and I have had a vested interest in their pregnancy since all of us are in very similar stages of our lives, expecting our first tot. Upon hearing the news the wife had a few moments were she somewhat lost it upon relaying the news to me and I wasn't far behind. I guess it's really gotten me thinking on how fragile everything can be and especially now that we/her are in the last trimester of the pregnancy.
