I'm really starting to hate how fast time really flies lately. I know that is a cliche statement and I know that everyone who has a kid says it... but there is also scientific research that shows that as you get older your brain trains itself to manage time differently. Thus, time flies, because our old ass brains don't want to deal with the day to day crap anymore.
Remember being young and an hour felt like forever?
Life. They're about to have it.
Isabella and I have these two people in our lives who we are uncomfortable classifying as "best friends". That's kind of an insult to the way we feel towards each other. They're more like an extension to our family. For the fun of this blog (and since no one has a real name here) we'll call them Aunty B and Uncle White Brows. Yes... they truly are an aunt and uncle (as well as the god-parents) to Niamonster. I can't even begin to tell you how lucky Niamonster is to have them in her life.
Well... almost 9 some months ago, Aunty B and Uncle WB came over and, after taking 6 pregnancy tests (accuracy through large sample size... and no... I'm not kidding it was 6 in one night), told us they were going to have a little cousin for Niamonster.
I can't even begin to tell you the emotions felt that night. As a guy it's one of those times where if you were alone you would have... uh... gotten a spec of dust in your eye.
BAM
9 months later. They're in the hospital and, comparing to the past months, are moment away from being new parents.
Just like that... I'm going to have a little "niece". Baby M. (or Baby K depending if you shorten it or not).
I can't wait to see her grow up and to see and learn various parenting techniques (cause God knows I'm not the greatest at it)... share stories about babies... having Niamonster and BabyK play around together... have BabyK teach Niamonster how to surf, and to chillax, and throw up the octave on both hands, and to not be such a priss. I'm excited for Niamonster to show BabyK the appropriate way to write lists....... (such a legacy I'll leave).
Now... if we could just get her to come out.

It's always an amazing thing to have someone to share life's experiences with. It's sometimes a bummer when you can't connect with people that can't yet relate to the baby thing. Congrats to you and your buddy. Now you can spoil his kid and not feel guilty.
I love friends like that. We call them "framily" (friends+family).
We just found out that my best friend and his wife, who are also considered family, are pregnant with their first!
