This will be our first. Gonna be this summer (due date in early summer). I’m extremely excited! I know it will change everything, but that’s okay. I’ve always wanted to be a dad.
No idea if/how this COVID thing will affect delivery. It has affected checkups – last week the doctor’s office wouldn’t let me in as I usually do to accompany my wife. We were going to have a tour of the OB part of the hospital, but that was canceled, as are our plans to talk to several pediatricians and pick one. I think the only exception for the no-visitor rule at the hospital is labor itself. Hopefully the situation will be over by delivery, but I’m not sure how likely that is considering the due date.
Congratulations! I actually dreamed last night that Ms. P and I had another kid. We’re in our fifties, and I got snipped after our youngest was born almost 20 years ago, so it ain’t likely. In the dream I was remembering how I was told that about one in ten thousand vasectomies reversed themselves.
Yes, it will change everything. And you’ll love it.
I don’t know what part of Arlington you live in, but my stepsister and her family, and my stepbrother and his family, both live in Falls Church. Let me know if you want me to ask about their pediatricians.
