Wow, your situation is almost identical to mine outside of the ages. I never wanted kids either, in fact neither of us did, but there is currently an almost 1 month old sleeping in my lap at this very second and I've gotta say... it's pretty awesome man. I would start just by talking to any friends you have that had kids recently, or feel free to DM me, but one thing I'll say is all your doubts about your ability to raise a child go out the window once they're here and the feeling can't really be described. The moment he arrived was unlike anything I have ever felt or thought I could feel

If this city had a high supply of cash and didn't know what to do with it, one thing I would spend it on would be a bike lane tunnel under Belivdere for the Franklin lanes east of Franklin that pops the lanes out on the Monroe Park side of the street until Monument. I can't imagine riding a bike through that with any considerable speed even on a green light.

I like the fact that Mr Vorhees took this very very personally and decided to get into a flame war with not just you, but another innocent bystander who chimed in to try to explain that it was a general comment about a group that gives bikers a bad name and not a comment about all bikers on earth.

I did this class and was actually going to suggest the same thing. I think the myBirth class helps involve the dad quite a bit. There’s a lot of knowledge about what to expect for the pregnancy and the birth, and it helped make it feel like an ‘us’ process instead of it just being all me while he spectated. Having a doula is really nice as well. Not super cheap but if it’s something you can swing it helps smooth the process out.

I waited 45 minutes for a manager to come and talk to me about my meal, and she refused to come. That's when I had to make a scene to get her to my table. I tried to tell her what was wrong and she didn't want to hear it and told us to just leave. my eggs were mixed with egg shells. Let's start there. 😆

I wasn’t ready as a mom, either. I was the youngest in my family and never had younger ones around to babysit. I read a lot and was happy about the pregnancy, but I do remember thinking on my discharge day “are they really just going to let me walk out of here with a baby?” And yes, of course they did because he was mine. And though I was often unsure and nervous for the first few months, we got along just beautifully and he is a happy, healthy, fine young man who is one of my two greatest accomplishments in this life. You’ll figure it out together, day by day. Enjoy the ride together- it’s going to go faster than you can imagine. Oh- and start an education fund right now. Congratulations- you’ve got this.❤️
