Visited an old college chum and his partner tonight. We brought by a gift for their new baby daughter and enjoyed some dinner with them at Chef Geoff's, this great restaurant just up the street from them. They were over the moon for their little girl. Totally love struck. We peppered them with questions on everything from baby strollers and diaper genies to how to respond to nosy questions from the general public. It made my partner and I long for our own baby -- but agreed our timeline for 1 1/2 to 2 years was ideal. So much to learn, but we feel secure knowing we have so many dear friends (both gay and straight) who have blazed this trial before us.
