Excitedly Terrified.
When spending all of 5 minutes pondering a clever title for this blog, which has been created to supposedly update family and friends about our pregnancy and eventual child (but in reality in being done to occupy my time and preserve my sanity) many titles came to mind. I settled on the phrase I've been using to describe my enthusiasm and terror about becoming a father.
I believe this feeling is universal, at least if you care about being a "good" dad. Excitement about bringing a new being into the world. Enthusiasm about unconditional love, at least until the pre-teen years. Fear of dropping the baby. Fear of not being a good enough role model. Fear of not being there when you need to be, and being there when you shouldn't. Fear of a changing world and of explosive diapers.
But I know my personality, and I know this will not just be a "baby blog". Sarcasm and cynicism are just too hard to pin down for long. Hopefully it'll be a fun ride.
