Longest Day
Way back in the earlier weeks of the pregnancy, when we got a firm due date and pregnancy math was still incomprehensible, I updated my Google calendar with the corresponding pregnancy weeks from then until the 40th week. This morning, I opened up the calendar to see this, which, quite frankly, startled me: It seems [...]

Goal!
We’re spontaneous, my wife and I. No, really. As much as we like to plan things (like childbirth) we often find ourselves unexpectedly in the car, bags packed, headed out of town. One time, years ago, we were watching a TV show about foods people eat at the beach – you know, salt water taffy, [...]

Wednesday
There’s a major difference in co-workers’ reactions, now that we’re in the last week, when they ask “When is your due date again?” and I answer “Wednesday” and not, “The 23rd.” Wednesday is next week. It would be too late, today, to schedule a meeting on Wednesday. Wednesday is three business days from now. I [...]

Plus you might be sideways now, instead of head-down? WTF, man? Did [...]

Oh Vegas. This morning, I woke up and thought, “I could sleep forever,” which almost never happens. See, your mother and I wake up sometime around 6:30am every morning, and are out of the bed by 7:15am at the latest, even especially on weekends. (This is a complete luxury compared to the 5:00am wake-up-calls back [...]

Design Star
For those of you not following along at home, my wife posted pictures of Vegas’ room. Now all we need to do is switch out the fake baby for a real one. Enjoy.

Prepared
Today has been the first day where I’ve felt completely prepared to have this kid. I don’t think you would have called us UNprepared during these previous weeks, but we’ve had a lot to get done in an alarmingly small amount of time. Work has been completely insane for the both of us trying to [...]
