I have a tendency to be quite OCD when it comes to my computers. This is why I can end up installing and re-installing Windows (or whatever the OS happens to be) over and over and over again until I get everything JUST SO ( Read more... )

I know there are still a few weeks left before Labor Day (the unofficial end of summer), and a few more weeks beyond that until the official end of summer; but the way my schedule works out, I'm pretty much at the end of my summer already ( Read more... )

It's less than seven days now before Elise turns one. I never imagined being a dad would be so, well, hard. That said, I think we've been pretty lucky on the health front. When she was only a few months old, we ended up giving her some stomach meds to treat some suspected acid reflux that might have been irritating her esophagus and causing her to ( Read more... )

Not much new to report.

The mom and I (and the mother-in-law) are all suffering from a lack of sleep.
The baby is growing well. (Though I don't think she's hit 8 lbs. yet.)

The contractions have started. The baby is on its way. Now, whether she'll be born later today or early tomorrow is still to be seen. Either way, the wife talked to our OB/GYN and said that there's no need to rush home from work yet. (Hence, why I'm here typing this post instead of rushing to the hospital.)

Okay, looks like I was wrong in my last post. The 13th was in the middle of the 37th week, and today is part of the 39th week. In any case, the baby is due pretty much any day now. But probably not for a few days since the baby hasn't finished descending yet.

But enough about the baby. I just wanted to say happy b-day to syksushi. Guess what, man? You're ( Read more... )

Seeing as how there are now only 17 days left until our baby is due, I guess that makes this, uh, the end of the 38th week of pregnancy? That said, things haven't really changed much since we got married. I guess all the changes don't really start happening until AFTER the baby is born ( Read more... )

First of all, let me thank everyone who've waited patiently for me to finish this story. As you would reasonably expect, things got pretty busy after I got married, what with visits from the in-laws, visits to the parents in Michigan, work, and sundry other things related to surviving while the economy is imploding around you. At the same time, it ( Read more... )
