Kelly and I have decided that we shall become a family unit comprised of more than just the two of us. It begins tonight. Last night we went to the store and procured all the necessary items. Then we came home, removed stickers, threw away the wrapping and opened cans. We solicited advice from the man at the store. He recommended a specific toy, but told us that other than that we were well on our way and in fact doing better than most. Kelly already knows he gets to do the lifting, food purchasing and handling of things that involve bodily functions. He may do the washing, too. I'll probably take care of most of the maintenance and cleaning. We'll both play and teach and nurture.
For the last week, since we started discussing this possibility, our home and our lives have been filled with joyous expectation. Last night while shopping we were absolutely giddy. I can only imagine what the culmination of excitement will be like tonight. We know this can be a huge undertaking, but we think we're ready.
