That is soon. Still it feels like it\u2019s far away.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">In a way itis. Not because of the fact that 18 days is that long, but because of all the change that the little one will bring. All the things I really can\u2019t prepare for. I\u2019ve tried to prepare all I can. I even got the number to F\u00f6rs\u00e4kringskassan (that is the government agency that gives out parental money)so that I don\u2019t have to look it up when the day comes.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">It also feels like so soon.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">In the beginning of October some good friends are getting married, we had to tell them we come with a kid. That\u2019s just a little more than a month from now.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Susanna is at home now, giving me a warm welcome when I get back from work. She is good at that. (She is good at hugging too). I feel so lazy when I get home. I should change that. But I guess that will come naturally; there will just be so much to do.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">She will be home for a year. After that it will be my turn.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">I&#8217;m also happy for my friends. Especially for the ones that also are fathers, they have given me much input and advice. I&#8217;m looking forward to put it to use.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">I don\u2019t know if I ever will feel like a good father, I just will try to do my best. Even if I feel like a disaster I\u2019ll try again. One thing I know: I will be proud. I\u2019m proud already, even if the kid isn\u2019t born yet. When I listen to its hart-beat trough Susanna\u2019s belly. When I feel its kicks.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Okay, this is it, this time. I doubt it will be four month to the next update. I think you all want one when the kid is born. (I might write some more before that but don\u2019t count on it).<\/span><\/div>\n<div data-counters='true' data-style='square' data-size='small' data-url='https:\/\/blog.wolfmaier.se\/wolfie217\/2011\/09\/03\/exiting-times\/' data-title='Exiting times' class='linksalpha_container linksalpha_app_3'><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='facebook' class='linksalpha_icon_facebook'><\/a><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='twitter' class='linksalpha_icon_twitter'><\/a><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='mail' class='linksalpha_icon_mail'><\/a><\/div><div data-position='' data-url='https:\/\/blog.wolfmaier.se\/wolfie217\/2011\/09\/03\/exiting-times\/' data-title='Exiting times' class='linksalpha_container linksalpha_app_7'><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='facebook' class='linksalpha_icon_facebook'><\/a><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='twitter' class='linksalpha_icon_twitter'><\/a><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='googleplus' class='linksalpha_icon_googleplus'><\/a><a href='\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/share?network='mail' class='linksalpha_icon_mail'><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Exiting times It\u2019s about time I let you in on my thoughts again.
