18 & 0

Yesterday my son turned 18 years old. I'm not quite 40 yet so people are usually surprised that I have an 18 year old. My wife is also 6 months pregnant so sometime around the end of February I will have a daughter. And I will be 40 years old. I guess that puts me on the old side for having a baby. I don't get caught up in being young or old for either though. What is true is that I am a completely different person than I was when my son was born. There is no doubt that I am in a much better position to be a dad now than I was 18 years ago. Honestly I am in a better position now than I have been at any point in my life. That is good news for my son and for my daughter on the way.
