Well, she's presently measuring at 9 and 3/4 sheets of toilet paper (it's some thing in the december baby community). The nesting thing has kicked in and she's happily shopping for cribs, clothes and the like.
I waffle between pride (my boys can swim!) and abject terror (I'm suddently the parent of two kids, don't forget Tanith who's 9). The best thing I've heard was my mum telling me that my father made it up as he went. If my dad could do it, then I know I can do it, because I learned from the best.
Everything is great, but I have the standard, "will I be a good father" paranoia. :)
I wish my dad had written a book on how to be a father and every man with kids could read and live by it.
Two things I never heard my dad say:
1. I don't have time 2. I'm too tired
I wish I could have repeated that with my kids, but being a single parent didn't afford me much in the realm of 'time' or energy. I could have done better and I could have done worse. It's always a coin toss when you're raising kids and you just have to hope you're flipping the coin the right way. You'll do fine...emulate everything good about your dad and fill in the rest.

I live by the DVR these days. All I saw when I switched channels was the guy from "Saved By the Bell".
That explains a lot.
And this series doesn't have the immediate COOL factor of the hasslehoff era. Bummer... I was waiting to relive my preteen days.
Though, the modified Aston Martin I just saw was pretty smokin'. Or, to be eriod accurate,... "Rad"

and economic crisis my ass. It's called caveat emptor and just desserts.
The stupid fail, the sad part is the modern world thinks we should suffer their stupidity.
