Congrats! He's adorable! (Bonus for fuzziness!) It gets even more fun from here on... I was struck by how little, even in my thirties, I knew about the physical nuts-and-bolts process past sperm meets egg. Even in circles where you can talk about pretty much anything, details about fertility and childbirth just seem impolite/weird to talk about. Even in a no moon-goddess, purely practical engineering sort of way. Then occasionally, someone takes you aside and whispers about a miscarriage or fertility problems or feeling ashamed that they didn't feel this instant connection to their kid or turn into instasoccermom to whom nothing else matters, and it seems really sad that they're supposed to keep quiet about it. On the parenting side, there seems to be a new child rearing theory every week. Common sense has been of the most use to us, though. As you seem to have that in spades, I think your kid has lucked out.
