Having a little girl has inspired me to delve into new hobbies I never really had an interest in before. Sewing was something I tried back in high school and just got frustrated with. My mom is an avid sewer, quilter and overall craft jack-of-all-trades. I figured I’d utilize this [...]
Figured I’d catch-up the blog a little since Trav’s been busy with flying, grad school, and organizing the move. Busy, busy boy.
Minus a couple of weeks at my parents we’ve been living the hotel life-style since early January. Needless to say, it’s been an adjustment for all of [...]
This time, agreeing on the name happened without a filibuster to the final hour (like with Brenden who was named about 20 minutes prior to out-processing the hospital). The fallback that we had somewhat agreed upon prior to her birth was “Cadence” (or some spelling derivation thereof). When [...]
Even though you know what to expect the second time around, the peace and amazement doesn’t go away. Both Pam and I are definitely more comfortable, having gone through this once already! This time, I wasn’t afraid to touch the kid and knew how to handle her. Just knowing that [...]
Looks like there’s no rest for the weary. I got home just in time (thankfully) to drive Pam to her final visit at the hospital (for a long, long time at least).
The bad news: I won’t get to sleep in my own bed for another two nights – straight from [...]
It’s been one of those months where, with school and a myriad of other deadlines to meet, I have probably about 3 different things I can throw up here and write about, but I just get caught up in execution with seemingly little time to reflect.
You ever go tubing where [...]
I went with Pam today to her “girl stuff” appointment (reference the pregnancy). It’s been the first opportunity I’ve had in a few months since I was away dealing out death and destruction. Trust me: I didn’t go to see her spread ‘em in stirrups under a sheet, though I’m [...]
Just as we did for Brenden, Trav and I decided it was only fair to schedule a 3D ultrasound for baby #2. Although we knew Trav wouldn’t be here to partake in the appointment, the wonders of the internet will let him get a good look at his baby [...]
Before heading out of town on a well deserved vacation (in the States, not at my glorious time-share in the MidEast), we had the “revealing” ultrasound for Snake III. I’ve been looking forward to this ultrasound because it cuts all our arguments in half: now it’s just the name game [...]
Pam had her 12-week ultrasound today, and I offered to take work off and give her a little moral support. Actually, I enjoy seeing what the ultrasounds show and the 12-week ultrasound check was the one I was in Iraq for with Brenden. Why Snake III? Well, Brenden already took [...]
