Apologies for the dearth of new content. I was up late last worrying over baby's labored breathing. Nothing to be concerned about, just typical new parent stress.

Forgive me if you're just here for the white collar crime and what not... Many of the friends and colleagues who check out the blog regularly have asked for the occasional fatherhood update, so please forgive my off-topic indulgence of their repeated requests.

Still no baby.

Apparently this is normal.

I'll just be over here in the corner in a ball of nerves...

We're at 40 weeks +1 day and we're doing a lot of sitting around and staring at each other. Its kind of like Christmas, if the date was fuzzy and one of the planned activities was major surgery.

We remain excited... distracted, even. So if thinks get slow around here, you know why.

Expectant father,

In mid-August my wife and I will be welcoming a new baby girl...

We couldn't be more excited!
