I've had a headache all day.

I ran a 4.5 hour meeting of 11 men discussing wildlife population dynamics and optimization routines as they relate to the Delaware Bay. This was unrelated to the headache.

I am debating whether or not I should buy an M. Ward album on I-Tunes. This was/is also unrelated to the headache.

We are about 8 weeks from having a second baby in our family. This actually might be related to the headache.

We had a prenatal appointment on Monday and the Midwife after conducting a very exciting, unscientific and inconclusive test, told us that we are either having a baby boy that is in touch with its feminine side or a transgendered child...this also might be related to the headache.

Today

Today I sat through a 3.5 hour presentation by a dude on partially observable Markovian decision analysis, hoping not to say something stupid and that he would offer me a job at the end.

Jesus H.! Its February already? How did that happen? Nu-Baby is due in 11 weeks! Yikes!

I guess its not that scary. I've already raised one kid to the age of two, so I already know a few things about kids, like diaper changing (do it quickly), how to feed them (hand them over to mom), how to sing them songs (its all about the Flaming Lips). I think the tricky part is going to be doing this for two kids at once. I worry about not having them same depth of bond with this nu child as I do with Eva. I just foresee that I'll be Eva's daddy and the Hot Librarian will be Nu-baby's mommy and I won't have much chance to get to know the new kid. My practical brain says that thats a ridiculous sentiment because I have like 18 years to establish a bond, right? At the very least when Eva goes to college in 2024 I'll have two years at home with the nu-kid as my only kid...so I have that to look forward to. Anyway, we bought some new equipment for Nu-baby, on Saturday after noon, and we are getting our cloth diaper supplies organized. In short the eminence of this baby's arrival is becoming more evident to me daily.
