Caleb’s Birth Story

Editor’s Note:  It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to make a proper posting.  But unlike previous delays this one has good reason.  Our son has been born and we have been, understandably, been busy with all things related to this event.  Having said that, the following is an account of Caleb’s birth, [...]

All We Need Now Is the Baby…

It is finally safe to say that our nursery is complete.  All we’re missing is the baby, which hopefully will be coming soon.  Right now, we’re down to just five days until the due date but who knows when it will really happen. Here are some pictures of the nursery.  We weren’t really too keen [...]

It’s the Final Countdown…

Most events that come up in my life, I know they’re coming.  I like to plan ahead and count down to most anything.  Sometimes I believe this is even a fault since I end up spending many days floating through until the next big event comes.  When you’re talking about a baby being born, it’s [...]

Got a New Video Camera

Since Kelli and I are going to be parents soon we thought that it was high time to go ahead and purchase a video camera.  After all, there are many “memories” to catch and preserve.  I didn’t want to spend too much, naturally, since the technology is always changing but I did want to make [...]

Childbirth Classes at University Hospital

On Saturday, June 4, Kelli and I went to UC Hospital to attend a “childbirth” class.  This class covered the basics of what to expect during the delivery  and how to care for an infant baby.  Since neither Kelli or I have had a baby before, some of this information was new to us and [...]

Work Baby Shower

Just wanted to give a quick “shout out” to my co-workers.  A couple of weeks ago they surprised Kelli and I with a bombardment of gifts for our baby.  Things like burp cloths, clothes, “onesies”, diapers, toys, and bath stuff.  It was really really nice. On top of that, this week, on Wednesday they through [...]

The Babymoon

Apparently, this is all the rage when it comes to couples that are expecting.  Before the child comes, go on a “babymoon” where couples can spend time together while they are still free to “pick up and go”. Of course, Kelli and I weren’t going to venture out too far, we still have much to [...]

The Sonogram

Time sure does fly… We went to the sonogram appointment back on 02/09/2011 and already it’s 03/28/2011, almost two months!  Of course, I meant to post these thoughts and pictures earlier but better late than never. As usual, we ended up waiting for an extended period of time after our appointment was scheduled before they [...]

Our First Baby Doctor Visit

Technically, Kelli did visit the Doctor’s once before to get her initial blood work done but yesterday (01/12/2011) was our first visit to the Doctor’s together.  They checked her blood pressure and other routine checks (read: urine sample) and then the Doctor came in to talk with us.  We weren’t really sure what all we [...]

We’ve Got a Little One Coming…

It’s true; we’ve got a little one on the way and this is my official blog announcement.  It was early in the morning about a month or so ago, when I was ironing my shirt.  Kelli’s in the bathroom, not all that unusual in the morning, when she says my name.  I can’t remember exactly [...]
