Changing lifestyles, are we ready?

Well, the weather in Vancouver has been in the extremes the last few weeks. It is either shockingly cold or so wet and warm....Regardless, both extremes just killed our appetite to head out for some outdoor activities. That then leaves a great many hours lazing around in bed at home and of course, lots of time chatting and discussing about how our lives might change once the baby comes.

Now, the funniest thing is that the strongest image that hit home with the baby was when both of us were lying in bed and then suddenly, we realise that there is going to be another person, living being who is going to be sleeping right in the middle. We both shudder at that thought ... whatever that is, we are still not used to that fact yet. Further more, it suddenly hit us, we will never again in our young lives have the opportunity to go on vacations alone. I'm suddenly feeling that we have just been robbed off our privacy...and am really not used to the fact that there will essentially be a stranger intruding into our lives. I guess this is just because we haven't met our child in the flesh yet... Maybe all these will change once we see him in person (at least I'm hoping that that will be the case).

ARRRGGGHHH... I still have lots of things to do and lots of places to see... I have not seen the waterways of Venice, the renaissance architecture of Rome, the Greek Pathanon, trekked across the Silk route, seen India's Taj Mahal, Cambodia's Angkor Watt, Guilin's majestic limestone hills, Jordan's Petra ruins, swam in the dead sea etc. I haven't lived!

So, changing lifestyles, are we ready or not? I guess the answer will come once we come face to face with the little one...
