Fatherhood in 8 weeks

My wife is about 8 weeks away from giving birth to our first child...a little girl. We think she'll be named Abigail Patricia. Sometimes i stay awake at night, so overwhelmed by what is about to take place. This world is massive, and sometimes very cruel. I want so much to protect my little girl from all of it, but i know i wont be able to. Someone will be mean to her, someone will hurt her feelings, someone will wrong her, she will have her heart broken, the list goes on. Luckily for me, my wife is amazing. She is a natural mother and will easily make up for all the areas i lack in regards to parenting. I'm so excited to meet my little girl, i just wish she was here now!

Sitting at work, dreaming...

I'm at work now, i work EVERY weekend. I guess really i can't complain too much. I have a "good" job, a "good" income, i "own" my house...etc. I put quotes around that because those are all the requirements of living in the Bay Area right? As much as i have always claimed to want to avoid the rat race, i have failed. I am immersed in it actually. I have a mortgage, two car payments, DSL, HDTV, Netflix, cell phones, etc, etc.

I guess i'm wondering...why? What exactly am i trying to accomplish, or where am i trying to go? When i actually sit down and think about what matters, it's certainly not these things i'm working 50hrs/wk to pay for. The thing that matter are my wife, soon to be child, my father, few close friends, snowboarding is high up there as well. What can i do? quit, move, sell, what?
