Lizzie,
It's starting to get closer and closer to your due date. Your mom & I are excited, scared, nervous, and anxious to meet you. We know that we won't ever be the perfect parents, but we're trying! There has been lots of planning and preparation for your arrival. As soon as we found out you were coming, we started getting ready.
We have found ourselves in weird territory. Before, we didn't even go down the "baby" aisle at the grocery store. Now we are. We've been buying diapers now, ahead of time, so that we have them for you to use. Some things are like every generation, but for you we've bought the best: you don't have a diaper pail. You don't have a trash can. You have a "Diaper Genie II Elite™ Advanced Disposal System."
Ok, so that's not any thing to necessarily rave about, but we're trying to do what we can. We don't have an instruction manual that you come with. As geeks, we've been trying to understand the new change to our world as best we can. Yes, we're geeks, if you didn't figure that out yet. We have more computers (6) than people (2) in our house, and I've already been planning your machine. I have the OS picked out and your mom agrees on the keyboard/mouse design... back to the preparations.
After we got back from grocery shopping, we started a load of laundry of your things. I insisted that we get two bottles of baby detergent, since we'll be doing lots of loads. Your mom said we didn't need to just yet because your things would all fit in one load. I still insisted. Guess what? Your things fit in one load! (PS> your mom is very smart -- and right most of the time)
See you soon, my daughter.
-Dad
