Sounds reasonable. I just hope you do get back to reviewing after becoming a dad, because (like I need to tell you) it changes everything. But knowing your work ethic I think you'll be able to find time for your website once your family gets a routine down.
I'll make sure to bombard you with reader comments during the hiatus.
