Tonight, since Sarah’s been home from school, she’s had:
1. ice cream
2. a pickle
3. grilled cheese
I think she’s pregnant.

I realized a few days ago that the first trimester is a little like going through puberty again–body changes, acne, new emotions, weight gain, new curves, hormonal moodiness and so on. The whole package. Take any website about puberty, dub in the the word “pregnancy,” and suddenly it becomes a very appropriate description of my [...]

Whoops everyone…sorry I haven’t posted in forever. I just finished my surgery rotation last friday (yay!) and so was busy busy busy cramming for my exams. Hopefully I passed! In the meantime, it sounds like the little thing has been growing quite a bit lately–so much in fact that I guess we can now start [...]

Last night we tried a new restaurant, T-Bones Grill House (formerly The Grill House Restaurant and Buddha Lounge), which was pretty good. The decor was a good effort, but not quite right; the food was good enough that we’d go again (except for the dessert); but the service–the service was GREAT!

This is a name which comes up just about every time we talk about baby names.

Our rationale within the dream was that if he and Sarah hadn’t been roommates that Sarah and I wouldn’t have become friends, which means that we wouldn’t have gotten married which means that we wouldn’t have had a [...]

A little belated (Wednesdays are the “milestone” days in my mind…), but here is the latest news from the womb. How weird to think this thing might be moving around already. Then again, I guess there are lots of things moving inside of us all the time that we don’t even notice (like your small [...]

Actually, we haven’t figured out what our toy policy is going to be. I figure that like most things in life we’ll start out with the best of intentions, but then quickly acquiesce the battery-operated, self-propelled, sound-making, lights-flashing, multicolored thing. Or the TV. Probably the TV. Hopefully the TV.
Who knows?

(This post was originally a reply to an earlier “Today’s Name”, but since it looks like our friend Chris has put more thought into our baby’s name than we have, I believe it warrants its own post. So say “hi” to Chris everyone. He’s a man with ideas!)
Okay, I’ve come a long way [...]
