Eleven Weeks

Life continues at a brisker pace, but it is comforting. The initial rush of expectant parent activity has passed, and the current level of activity is extremely productive. For some reason, the slowing down has sped things up. That type of statement is normally an oxy-moron, but it happens to be true. I suspect that most things in life occur in this fashion but it tends to be a more subtle transition from wild activity to steady pace. Ours was not. Angie and I have different methods of handling some situations, generally they not only co-exist, but the compliment each other. In this case we were not quite on opposite poles, but we were certainly proceeding differently. We spent several nights discussing the evolution of our parenthood, and together moved forward into this new pace. As I said earlier, our new pace is comforting and seems to get us where we need to be in 29 or so weeks.Angie by the way is feeling better. Her exact words were:

"When I don't feel like vomiting or nauseous, I feel more normal."

I think that sums up everything. The daily activity feels more normal, but there are still some moments of worry and concern over being parents.
