Baby Nolan

I know I've been out of the game for almost a month now, but on August 23rd, my son, Nolan Bailey Alderman, was born. Since then it's been a bit of a whirlwind. All my expectations of what I thought fatherhood would feel like went right down the drain the moment my baby boy was in my arms. What an incredible blessing!

That being said, it's been a challenging couple of weeks. My wife went back to work last week and this has left me home with Nolan most of the day. Last week I mistakenly tried to balance work and baby and it blew up in my face. This week seems to be going a little bit smoother.

I'm glad to be getting back into the swing of things. In the next couple weeks I am going to be reevaluating my project lists and some of my marketing strategies, so news of those changes will come through here. After today though I'll be moving a lot of my talk of baby Nolan to my other blog - http://www.ofdreamsandfaith.blogspot.com - to keep this one focused on writing and self-publishing.

Waiting...

The other day the doctor said our son could come any day now, even though my wife's due date isn't until August 26th. Being so close in proximity to the due date of our first child, I haven't been able to keep my head screwed on straight in regards to anything writing-related. That's not to say I'm panicking or anything - I feel quite ready for our kid to come - but it's to say that my focus has been a bit scattered. I've been helping my wife get the apartment ready for the baby while also getting our insurance matters in order, things that have been pulling the majority of my attention away from writing. When I do get a chance to sit down and write, all I can think about is the baby coming.

Oh well. I'm sure my creativity will refocus itself once little Nolan Bailey Alderman is with us. Any day now... :)
