Nappies

September 16th, 2004

Only five months to go before I become a dad. Crikey.

It has been advised to us that we build up supplies of baby-oriented things. My soon-to-be ex-study has therefore acquired a small but impressive stack of baby-wipes and nappies. It’s dead complicated though all this baby business - you have to think about a little person who grows very fast so you end up saying ‘Oh, I can’t buy that tiny and cute little jacket because by that time it’ll be summer and he’ll have doubled in size’. It’s these little things you don’t think of, you see.

And I did say ‘he’ because the wonders of science have revealed that it is indeed a little boy. This has made the process of picking names so much simpler. Simpler that is, apart from the whole joint decision thing that messes up all my plans.

Apparently, despite an initial warm reception, ‘Calvin’ is no longer a good choice. I am also trying to resist ‘Zack’ for as long as I possibly can.

My only hope is that the missus will still be in hospital while I’m dispatched to the little office where baby names are registered (Or whatever it is that happens). They’ll both thank me in the long-run.
