If you were reading through my year26 posts, you were aware that Katie was pregnant and that our due date was March 5.  Little Simon Oliver decided he couldn&#8217;t wait quite that long and was born in the early hours of February 26, 2010.  He weighed a healthy 7 pounds, 7 ounces and Katie was able to bring him home a few days later.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, that means Simon just celebrated his third month birthday and he is much bigger than 7 pounds now.  Being a father is nothing short of awesome.  Our lives have completely changed, of course.  Our days now revolve around Simon and we&#8217;ve had to change our routines and assumptions about what we can do at any given moment.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from all that, there&#8217;s something about having a baby that changes you in a way that is a bit more unanticipated.  It makes everything else seem suddenly less important.  When I look at Simon, it&#8217;s as if he&#8217;s the only thing that exists in all the world.  I suppose it&#8217;s a bit like falling in love, except multiplied by infinity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve tweeted about it, told people on the phone, and put up pictures on both Picasa and Flickr, but I thought it might be nice to post something here as well.
