It's sort of been there for me since I found out about the baby; I've been swept along in events, with what feels like only marginal control over the direction of travel. This isn't to say it's a bad feeling, but it's certainly interesting. I know that from your perspective there's a lot changing too. Char and I both plan to ensure that the life we have -- the friends, the interests, &c -- don't fall victim to the massive change in our _family_ life that is coming. Moving doesn't make this easier, of course; it takes us out of our current comfortable place, makes it a bit more of an effort to visit us, and more of an effort for us to see some of our friends. We hope that this won't be too much of a change to work around, but obviously there's going to be some. Yeah, there’s definitely an interesting sense of momentum to this whole thing.

It is impressing upon me how I have watched you relationship evolve in a lovely fashion (and I have only seen near 3 yrs of it) and how gracefully you both have been handling the swiftness of it all. What does it say about me that it freaks me out at the same time? Oh right, that I am holding onto my selfish lifestyle quite happily and afraid my grip may be tenuous.
