Harvard

I have to admit, this whole time period, from our first visit to the hospital seven days before d-day up through and continuing on through today, has been pretty surreal.

With the whole lack of sleep thing, combined with being home ALL the time, you forget to do certain everyday tasks like getting groceries, feeding the dogs (scratch that, the dogs NEVER let you forget), doing laundry, taking a shower, winding the clock, staying in touch with your friends, calling your respective mothers, etc.

I was asked a question yesterday about a subject we've thought about periodically but never acted upon. A subject that only deals with people who have kids. A subject that can worry a new parent to death. A subject so intense at the outset, but able to be handled with careful planning and smart choices.

"Have you started a college fund yet...?"

It's like I just got smacked in the face with a 2x4.
