Preparing to be a father

I’m finally back home for the foreseeable future after flying back Friday. I spent most of the weekend catching up on life and sleep. Last week was a lot of fun and we got a lot done, but it took a big toll on my body and I’m now battling a cold.

I told my coworkers this and apparently I better get used to it because lack of sleep and being always sick seems to be the norm once you have kids.

On that front, Sophia and I are now scrambling to plan for this kid. While he could technically come at any moment, it becomes much more real in another couple of weeks. So that leaves us about 2 weeks to really get everything as ready as possible.

While we’re in a decent spot, there’s still a lot to be done including putting together his nursery and getting everything organized. Our apartment is a mess right now with boxes and things everywhere. This next 2 weekends will be about getting the apartment in order.

For myself, I’m looking to get rest and get my mentals in order. I want to get back to a good healthy place again after a busy few weeks with quarter end and travel. If things go according to plan, I’ve got one month before my son gets here. That’s one month to prepare for my son but also most important prepare myself.
