Jocelyn = Godot

Some day soon, when I am in a sleep-deprived state, I will probably regret saying that I would like to fast-forward through the rest of the pregnancy and just go straight to actual parenthood, but that's pretty much how I feel. We've got the nursery set up, we've got the stroller, we've read a bunch of books, we have enough baby clothes (thanks to generous gift-givers) that we may never have to do a load of laundry, and now we're pretty much just waiting for her to decide that it's time to join the party. I say, let's get on with it already! (I say this with full knowledge that Julie probably feels like we are not even close to being ready.)

In all seriousness, I think there's a finite amount of knowledge and skill one can acquire by simply reading about how to care for a baby. After that, one needs to learn by doing. I'm excited to dive in and get to know the Peanut.
