After 24 hours

It’s been 24 hours. Here’s what I’ve learned so far:

• Getting socks on is a bit tough. Even so, I realize that I do have more flexibility than true expectant women get.
  
  
  
• I don’t need new pants, as the belly sits right over mine. But wearing button-flys is a major mistake. I do think I'm going to have to buy some XXXL shirts.
  
  
  
• Right in the middle of a conversation with a colleague, I had to sit down because I had been standing too long. I felt a little embarrassed.
  
  
• Sleep. This is the biggie so far. Sleeping on my stomach or back, my preferred positions, are not options – nor good for the baby. :-) Last night's sleep was more like six one hour naps. I woke each hour because I needed to roll over to my other side. To be clear, I am not complaining, just sharing. Tonight my wife will be coaching me on the effective use of pillows! Bless her.
