I Will Survive?

Well, after a pretty good first day home, we had quite a sleepless night last night. Shoulda known it wouldn’t be easy. We’ve done this once, after all. Still, we feel exhausted today. Also, the laundry has grown exponentially!
My daughter has adjusted well, for her part. She’s even gone down [...]

A Baby Picture

Well, we are home and all doing well. We got home Thursday afternoon and are trying our best now to get back to “normal”. My daughter and I are still sick, so that’s not helping a lot. Still, we’re getting by pretty well.
Thank you all for the overwhelming amount of comments. [...]

Spoke Too Soon – We Have Baby!

Well, not ten minutes after I posted yesterday, my wife called me, I rushed home, and we were off to the hospital. Four hours later and we we had a baby boy!
Everybody is healthy. We’re just resting now in the hospital. The baby is 7 pounds, 3 ounces. He’s 20 [...]

Somebody Is Gonna Be Late

So, today is my wife’s due date. No baby so far. If the little guy doesn’t hurry up, he’s gonna be late. I suppose we’ll forgive him, though.
I think what’s tough about it most is the unknown. We know a baby is coming, but we don’t know when. It could [...]

Hello From 3:00 AM

Hey there. It’s 3:00 AM. Yep, I’m awake. I was sleeping well until the daughter woke up. Then my coughing started. Ugh.
Yeah, these I’m sick posts are getting old. Sorry. To make up for it, here’s the waning moments of the US/Russia 1980 Winter Olympics game, [...]

The Race to Get Better

Well, if I had to comment on it, I’d say my daughter and I are doing a bit worse than Friday. It really stinks. Right now it’s a race for me to get better before the baby is born. That’s difficult enough when you are healthy, let alone when you feel sick. [...]

Trying To Stay Afloat

I’m feeling a bit under the weather today, but not admitting it to myself because there’s simply no time for me to be sick. My daughter had a rough night, and my wife still doesn’t feel great. Therefore, I cannot be sick.
I don’t have a lot of creative [...]

On The Mend

Thanks everyone for the kind wishes. We are doing all right. I’m still dodging the bullet and not sick at all. My daughter has a froggy voice right now, but doesn’t have the fever anymore. My wife is still feeling the same, which isn’t great. She hasn’t slept well in [...]

The Sick Bay

My entire house should be quarantined. I’m sure of it.
I have a wife, due to have our baby next Tuesday(!), with a bad head-cold she has had for over a week now. She has been sleeping poorly and has gone through at least three boxes of tissues. She’s had a real rough [...]

Robbing Lincoln’s Grave?

Did you know that there have been attempts at stealing Abraham Lincoln’s body? Well, I didn’t until last night.
It turns out there were several attempts to steal Lincoln’s body, the first happening in 1876, eleven years after he died. I found this all out while watching the History Channel last night. The program [...]
