I will say that being an only child and someone who treasures his 'me time' the impending addition to our coupledom scares the crap out of me in ways. Yeah yeah yeah I know its great and all (as I've heard 10 million times) but it'll take a lot of getting used to, especially for a set-in-his-ways 34 year old! At least I already *have* a lots of Disney and kids-oriented DVDs as I'm a kid at heart... then again they occupy the shelves right next to my zombie films, 'Pulp Fiction', etc etc etc... I can only hope that my child grows up as twisted as I am.
And DAYV- I'll try to get her to cross her legs an extra day or so so you and I can match up!

One thing I'll say is when you have young kids (mine are 6 & 4), it becomes very difficult for parents to get some peace and quiet. My wife and I usually don't get any until after they go to bed, which is tough because by then we're both wiped. I was off on Monday of this week, but so was my wife and the kids. So, my wife and I are in our bedroom trying to watch something on our DVR and the kids kept coming in every 5 minutes. I finally got really mad and was like "Can't we get 5 minutes of peace?". I love my kids dearly, but there are times when you just need a break.
