What a thing to learn your wife is pregnant. Its kind of anti-climactic. I imagine the birth is a bigger deal, but similarly
just a moment that comes and goes. This will be our first, and we are very excited! I suggested to my wife that we take time
each evening before bed to start listening to a books together, and she thought that was a swell idea. So, we started
listening to [The Power of Showing Up](https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9780593147870-the-power-of-showing-up), a book I saw
suggested on Reddit. Interested to see what sorts of things we learn together and any discussions / differing ideas we have
when it comes to child rearing.

I'm excited to be a dad, I think I'll be pretty good at it, and I'm excited to see how my ever-optimizing
brain handles parenting.

Excited for the next chapter when we enter parenthood!
