Tonight is the last night having my parents in town with us, and I must say it was great having them here to welcome Eve.  It always feels like home wherever they are, and it reminds me how much I miss my family when they are here or I am visiting them in Illinois.  I […]

Today was our first doctor visit over to Cornerstone, and it was pretty fun!  We also had a nice checkup with the lactation consultant,  who has really taken a shine to us and is excited when we show up.  The baby was really tuckered out after all this excitement and slept for around three hours, […]

Last night was our first night home with Eve.  She took to her new surroundings well, sleeping all night in her new crib with only minimal fussing when she was hungry.  Her jaundice appears to be going away quickly, thanks to copious amounts of diaper filling.  Tasha’s doing well, and we have been taking turns […]

One of the most fun parts of the pregnancy was the selection (and withholding) of the name.  Since Tasha and I decided to find out the gender of our baby, we elected at that point to keep the name and most details surrounding our selection to ourselves.  This was to keep one aspect of our […]

Tonight was my first excursion driving Tasha’s car on the open road!  We had truly spectacular winds today, with gusts exceeding 60 miles per hour.  Imagine my surprise when a guy driving ahead of me on a motorcycle BLEW OFF HIS MOTORCYCLE.  If I didn’t know any better, I would’ve thought he was on wires […]

Today we went to Church, grabbed lunch at Denny’s, and then the work began.  Tasha was running out of energy by the time we got back.  This was fortunate, because I had plenty of work to do.  I’ve been putting off doing a bunch of cleaning tasks for quite awhile, so I started off with […]

I’m heading off to Jam Night at Walton Manor!  It’s going to be a good time, but I have to get rolling… there will be a better blog post tomorrow!

Today was a good day.  I had some mild productivity at the office, followed by a nice lunch with the guys. I even got to leave work early for a doctor’s appointment, where I got to hear the baby’s heartbeat again.  Tasha made me a cake while I took a long, lazy nap.  Now I’m […]

Because our carseat fits into Tasha’s car better, I am embarking on a quest to learn how to drive her car which is a manual.  I am fine at stopping (an important skill) and I can switch between gears once I’m going… but getting started from a stop is not a skill that I currently […]
