Congratulations!
If you’re a month out, hopefully all your prep is finished. Arrival could be any day. You say him, so if you’re having a boy, have you are you wife already agreed on yes or no on circumcision? The hospital will ask you when you’re at your most tired.
Along the lines of surfing, daddy and me swim lesson start as young as 3 months. Lots of dads in the pool![/quote]
UCSD will not do circumcision after birth anymore. My wife wants it done. I am circumcised but I am torn between the idea that its genital mutatlation and what is fashionable. Before you tear into me about it I asked my wife if she would mind him not circumcised. She asked “What does that look like?” I was surprise “you have never seen an uncircumcised penis before?” “No!” was the reply. I said go google it… For God’s sake there are more of those on the internet than sand on the beach. She did. The look of disgust on her face was memorable! She wants him to look like daddy… Daddy doesn’t care what he looks like but daddy does care about messing with his kids future for the enjoyment of sex. Its a tough call but either way its an outpatient procedure at UCSD… They won’t do it.
As for the swim lesson I have seen those too… Its called Drown Proofing. And there is an old 8 mm film of me being flung, like garbage, into a pool when I was about 4 months old. It was horrifying to watch and incredible to see that there is an instinctive mechanism that will allow babies swim, surface, and roll over and float on their back… which I did… It really is the wildest thing…
So yes, in general, I am almost ready… sdr helped me buy a home and I am still unpacking so it is going to be a stressful summer but one I am looking forward too.
As for UCGal… YOU GO GIRL! Or don’t! You’re retired now! 😛
Congrats! As for me I will be working until they won’t hire me again!

P.S. During my move I picked up my UVerse PVR and noticed it was a Motorola box… I thought… I wonder if there is a little piece of UCGal in this thing… Well… There won’t be anymore if there ever was! Kind of sad…
