Beating the heat!

So being 8 months pregnant in NYC heat and humidity is certainly trying my physical sense of being comfortable! Between the bottles of water, cold compresses, fans, A/C, drawn blinds, popsicles and frozen fruit I'm doing my darndest. It's only mid June and already the temperature has hit the mid 90's more than once. Seriously?! I'm so grateful that I am able to work out of the house at the moment doing some freelance private client stuff but basically just taking it easy, so it's all good! I've been faithfully keeping up my daily pre-natal toning regimen-squats and the like-in any effort to assist delivery. Also, I feel much better when I am able to take long walks but it's just too hot even when it's dark out so I had an awesome brainstorm the other day which was to take walks at Lowe's. It's right by our house, so I walk over there, maybe 3 blocks and then walk up and down the aisles. Stacey went with me the other day and it took us 30 minutes to walk every single aisle, so that's a nice little preggo walk. Thank you Lowe's! I'll just keep strolling til baby C arrives!

Why Worry?

My daughter still has 8 weeks before she's going to show her pretty little head and I'm already a worried father. Here are a list of things that shouldn't, but do, worry me:

-Will we help pay for college?

-Will we pay for her wedding?

-How do you teach someone to drive in NYC?

-Since NYC is so transient, will our continued loss of friends mean constant losses of friends to her too? (Sure, if you move we are still friends, but...)

-How do I allow her to be herself, while at the same time instilling her with good work ethics?

-How do I let her find her own spirituality?

I don't want your answers... I look forward to figuring it out. Raising our kid will be an adventure I look forward to. There's always therapy if we screw it up!
