  The approaching family Singularity.

Einstein's General Theory of Relativity postulates that as one approaches a black hole, time slows down. I haven't personally experienced such a phenomenon with a black hole, but I am (and I presume Rachel is also) experiencing it regarding the arrival of our firstborn son. It seems like the closer we get to whatever day that Jack will come into our world, the slower time is going. It's not an unpleasant sensation, but it is a strange one. I am anticipating with great relish the moment that Jack is in Rachel's arms for the first time, wide awake and content, and the flow of time will come to an absolute halt.

I will bask in that moment.

...likely after that, the Space-Time continuum will snap back to normalcy and time will clip along at a normal pace, perhaps even faster than before...

...but I am looking forward to that moment when our world will stop turning ... it may only be a moment, but for me that moment will last an infinite amount of time.
