Parenthood for Dummies

I wrote two more silly intros for this entry, but the truth is we are really excited: We're having a baby, and it's due at the beginning of March. Today we went to a class where the fathers were invited to join, and I learned how to -- and how not to -- bathe and change a baby. I also tried on the pregnancy simulator sandbag smock. The little handbook I'm carrying is the "boshi techo", a guide and appointment book for pregnancy and early childhood development issued by the health services department of the city.

Email me for the other silly intros.


True story: My father dropped me on my head on the floor the day after I was born.
