I knew what was coming, and I had known it for nine months, but when the doctor came out holding a tiny creature that I had been responsible for bringing into existence, it still felt like a donkey kicked me in the head. Then there was the name and the realization that my son's identity would be forever determined by that moment we decided yes, "Kevin" would be it.
I opened a business checking account today. Signing a check with the name that has been rolling around in my head for twelve years brought a sudden feeling of giddiness. Similar emotions, though certainly not on the same level of intensity. Closer to a hamster's kick.
