I don't really get people being 'excited' about having a kid. Yeah, it's a fairly significant thing, but, barring a handful of unlikely possible happenings, it's a fairly predictable thing. Why spend the next 9 months nervous and excited, then spend the following two years intensely taking care of a snotball?

I'm by no measure an authority on the subject, and I think I missed a few logical stepping stones in reaching this conclusion, but here's my take anyway:

Little needs to be actively done (by you, at least) at this point to 'have' a kid, short of keeping all parties concerned alive and such. Get plenty of sleep, slow down, relax, take things as they come. Pretty soon, you'll be overwhelmed with things to do.
