Your SO expecting. Chuck? Your first? jks

No, since I have no SO. But I haven't seen that particular magazine (Parenting) since pediatrician visits some twenty-six or seven years ago. I was remembering my six foot one monster when he was trying to struggle out of his diapers---his idea of fun at three in the morning. Just nostalgia.
I was completely disgusted by the infant and baby pop-cult---horrible stuff. There is nothing sweet, pretty, cuddley, or cute about babies. I was fascinated by mine because of his animal nature, which I found admirable---a kind of unexpected quality.
