Remember this little thing?
It is nice from time to time to look back at just how far my lovely wife has progressed since we first received the great news. Britt waited for weeks for even the slightest sign that she was pregnant, and now there is no doubt. Long gone are the days when friends or strangers uncomfortably asked "are you pregnant?" No, we are well into basketball territory here and she looks beautiful.
It's Labor Day weekend and we are nearing the 7 month mark. It feels like the home stretch and the nesting, shopping, reading, studying, etc are revving into high gear. School is back in session and sadly that means Britt is growing accustomed to a lower level of service in the house. My wonderful summer hours are all over and it has been quite the busy start to the semester.
The end of summer also means the beginning of football season. This, it turns out, is not a non-controversial topic in this household. I know what you're thinking, Britt doesn't care about football. That is correct, but she is very worried about the psychological impact of me encouraging (forcing) our child to be a Redskins fan. So show some love for the home team people. Let Britt know that there are great lessons in rooting for a storied franchise (perennial loser). It's a character building exercise. It is also good training for a growing Democrat.
