Smells Like Children

I’m really impressed with how well Nigel’s been taking everything.

Between morning sickness and being crankier than usual, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was kinda put off. It’s been the opposite, though. He’s always here when I need him, and more then anything, he takes an interest in everything going on with me and the baby, which was something I really worried about.

I knew that I would be okay with it. I always wanted kids. There’s a really distinct difference between wanting kids and “wanting to play with a doll”. I want everything that goes along with parenting — the shit and the sunshine, as York would say (oh noes I leaked one of his phrases). Anyway, I wasn’t sure if Nigel was ready for it, so I’m just really proud that he does care and that he’s happy.
