1st January - Beginning of my Blog

Today I transferred all the entries for December (the month I commenced my diary) into this blog. Interested readers might like to peruse the entries below for some of the background detail concerning my reservations about fatherhood...

I also revealed to A (my wife) that I had in fact been keeping a diary on this topic, and let her read it. Understanding beforehand that these were my personal thoughts and feelings, she approved my decision to publish them (she was even pleased to see that I apparently listen to her more than she gives me credit for!), but she requested (for the time being) that I keep anonymous the identities of people concerned.

A finished Kaz Cooke's Up The Duff this evening. She's now going to be reading some non-pregnancy books for a while.

Also, she went shopping with my mother the other day, and told me that my mother kept pointing out 'cute' babies that A didn't think were cute at all. A may be pregnant, but she retains her discerning view of other people's babies. (Or as she puts it: "I don't go all ga-ga over them...")
