Daddy's thoughts:-
Like many things in life, we are in a perpetual state of transition.
The caterpillar spends a portion of its life feasting on fresh leaves before becoming a pupua where it hardly moves. Then it metamorphosizes into a butterfly.
The butterfly, should it desire to, can never become a caterpillar again. The reality is that the past is best thought of as being over even if memories allow us to relive the past. We must therefore be mindful that we are in transition and that each phase will past us by.
Some common transitions: not working to working to no need to work (hopefully)
: child to adult ("really meh?" my wife would ask)
: no degrees to more degrees (eyesight)
: no degree to degrees (the paper chase)
Some transitions are specical. Becoming a father.
What does it mean to "become"
To become means you must not be there initially. One must develop the characteristics to have become.
Mummy's thoughts:-
Daddy is taking a long time to complete this post. It's an interesting point, providing a different perspective to the whole meaning of "preparing for Baby's arrival". However, Daddy is too busy to complete the post. So I'm just publishing it first...heehee....
