New Digs
This weekend was a pretty big ‘techy’ weekend for us (and by ‘us’ I mean me….Tom….). Sorry for those of you that were anxiously awaiting a new post to read the last couple of days, hopefully you think the new site will be worth it. It looks pretty ‘vanilla’ right now, as I have not ‘styled’ the site at all, or looked for other themes…but I assume that will change shortly.
One nice thing is that when I ran the import of our old articles, it automatically assigned all of them to me, so now Jenny has to go a LONG ways to catch up to me ;-).
The site should be faster in general, but I think the biggest improvement you will notice is the commenting lag, that will no longer be an issue. So, if you are like me, and didn’t like using the commenting on the old site because it took too long to get it to post…and you were never sure if it really did post….don’t let that be a reason you don’t want to do so anymore. (NOTE: I also didn’t comment much because it looks pretty pathetic when you are the only person commenting on your own site….but….we won’t get into that).
Anyway, hope you dig the new site. Let us know.
Can the Buddha Get Any Bigger?
Update at 28 weeks (had a few requests for the bare belly shot…probably will NEVER do this again)….
Feeling good…but very, very fat (the scale is tipping at 20+ pound weight gain)
Passed my glucose test
Baby’s heart beat was 150 at last appointment
This kid definitely favors my left side
I am thinking I am carrying the energizer bunny…he/she is very active
Feel like I am carrying low…but you can be the judge
Doctors say my tummy’s measuring right on target
Sometimes I will get a really sharp pain in my ribs…that is the only painful part of so far…it usually subsides if I stretch out long enough :-)
Go Bears!
The Chicago Bears are going to the Super Bowl! You all know I am not a sportsfan by any means, but it’s hard not to get excited when you live in/near the city with a winning team. When we moved to Tucson, the Diamondbacks won the World Series…moved to Chicago and the White Sox won the World Series…now the Bears have a shot at the Super Bowl! However, even our good karma couldn’t help the KC Royals :-)
We will be going to Minneapolis the weekend of February 3…for a baby shower. Thomas said only you “girls”, meaning Kris and I, would pick to have a baby shower during Super Bowl weekend. I told him not to worry, that we could listen to the game in the car on the way back home on Sunday…he just gave me “the look”…
Things a Man Should Know: About Fatherhood
Thomas recently sent this article to my del.icio.us account and I finally got around to reading it today. I think all of you dads and soon-to-be dads, will get a kick out of it! It’s pretty funny:-)
Cars that last...
I read this article online today and low and behold the Ford Festivia was mentioned! I about fell over. This one lady talked about her 1992 Festiva and the odometer reaching 250,000 miles…my Fest is barely rounding the 80,000 mile mark…so I figure she’s got some life left in her yet :-)
