20 weeks.
All scholastic exams, finals, certifications I've ever studied for have all honed my test taking skills in preparation of the most epic challenge to date; 20 weeks to sharpen the senses, fine-tune the required skills, focus in on the big picture and lose sight of the chaos surrounding it.
I have twenty weeks to learn how to be thee best father to my daughter possible.

All mp3s on the iphone & car stereo have been temporarily banned and deleted in place of one solitary anthem which will be played on repeat from now until D-Day.
I honestly had zero preference between the blue & pink team going into this, happy and healthy was really where my mind was at. Now I know that it's a girl? One word. GOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

I'm sitting in the Ultrasound office and as soon as I hear "girl, 100%, it's a girl" it's as if the flood gates on any negative subconscious thoughts about baby boys and conversely any positive emotion relating to baby girls all started to flow like a torrent.
Clearly my first lesson as a father will be as follows
Now I just need to figure out the rest.
What a wonderful journey ahead.
I can't wait to meet you, Kara.
