Note to self:
You are preparing for a baby to arrive into your life and into your world. Get used to the fact that it is a world that is almost beyond recognition of the babies born twenty years ago!
We are shopping for baby gear online and bidding for some items on eBay. We know everything there is to know about how this baby is developing. We get and receive daily reports via email and Internet. We have access to a knowledge base that is beyond what we could have conceived twenty years ago (pardon the pun).
We will be "mature parents" though not necessarily the oldest in our pre-natal class. We will be savvy parents - savvy about the technology, the attitudes and the new world - and savvier than many.
Action:
Just go with it. Act as if it's been like this all your life. It's the only sensible thing for Boomer-Gen-X expectant couple can do... and stop thinking about how much everything has changed in twenty years. Celebrate the moment. Hang on and enjoy the ride. Thank God for the opportunity to live the adventure (previous post)
