After the gym this morning, Kelly and I sat on the couch and I read to Zachary for the first time (through Kelly’s belly, of course). The first book I read to him was Dr. Seuss’s Scrambled Eggs Super! What was strange about the experience was that even though I hadn’t read the book in decades, it…
Despite what I said yesterday, I did not end up getting up at 4 AM this morning. The fact that I could sleep in coupled with the fact that I am incredibly sore from all the workouts amounted to too high a hill for my motivation to climb. So I slept in until 7:30, but plan on getting…
Well, I made it through the day yesterday without feeling overly tired. I was up at 4 AM and we headed off to bed at 9 PM (after watching Tivo’d episodes of Big Love and Battlestar Galactica). I didn’t sleep great last night, but my body is still adjusting to the new schedule. Busy day in the office. I was…
I haven’t been sleeping all that great. Not sure why. It might be that I’ve been hemmed in by the cats and the border fence that’s been put up in the middle of the bed. Yes, that’s right, Kelly had put a border fence (read: pillow) down the middle of the bed, which she claims…
Today is the official halfway point of Kelly’s pregnancy. Exactly 20 weeks. Assuming the baby will be around 6 pounds (96 ounces) when he’s born, he will increase in mass nearly ten-fold over the next 20 weeks, which is remarkable when you think about it. Very icy this morning. There was a layer half an…
The day started out with a doctor appointment to make sure that the developing baby is developing well. All is good. It was a long appointment and I didn’t get into the office until almost 1 PM. After work, a bunch of us headed to Capital City Brewery in Shirlington for happy hour. Kelly and…
Another long workday. My hours are going to increase for a while until we get over the hump, which will hopefully be sometime in mid-March. In the meantime, I expect longer days. More than likely I’ll start getting up earlier, working from home until Kelly is up and ready to go and then head into…
I went upstairs to read at 7 PM last night and couldn’t get through a page before falling asleep. I woke up at 6 AM and Kelly and I decided to stay in bed (and keep warm) until 7:30. So I basically slept for 12 hours last night. Then it was off to a busy day in the…
Last week I polled you all on the sex of our baby. I told you that it would be a few weeks before we learned the sex. We were scheduled for another comprehensive ultrasound on January 23. However, at our regular OB appointment on Friday, our wonderful doctor did an ultrasound right there in the office and when…
Since there is probably a pool already going, I figured I’d make it official. With that in mind: Winner’s* will be announced in roughly two weeks. * Odds of winning: 1 in 2. Winners will receive congratulations from the soon-to-be parents. No purchase necessary. Void where prohibited.
