This time, instead of beer (thehopsreview.com), I’ve started a project that actually relates to my chosen profession: computer geek.

The name of my new project (web site) is called Ajaxsicle. As the name might imply to some of our more technical readers, it revolves around a technology called AJAX.

I will spare everyone here the details, […]

Another appointment has come and gone. After waiting an hour in the waiting room I saw the Dr. for an entire 8 minutes. Everything was good. I’m still measuring right on for how far I am…right at 31. Peanut’s heart rate was 150.

I think over the last week that Peanut has […]

As you can see in the photo below, we (I) radically changed the look of our bedroom last weekend (see No Wallpaper Borders - Ever!. Granted we don’t exactly have any wall decorations and I still need to do the windows, I think it looks pretty snazzy.

This was our last remodel project upstairs, prior […]

Last night Kevin and I had our second Child Birth class up at the hospital. I think I need to work on my breathing a bit. I’m sure my coach will help me with that. Next week Kevin gets to wear the empathy belly. I’ll be sure to get a picture. […]

As with everything these days, we decided to […]

I received a call from Kevin around 12:30 this afternoon. I could hear the excitement in his voice. Like a little kid he asked me “Do you know what I just did”. It hadn’t occurred to me that the crib parts would come in in less than 24 hours. Sure enough, […]

My appointment today was uneventful, especially after the exciting ultrasound on Saturday. I only gained 2 pounds this time, so I didn’t get scolded!! My measurements were all right on. Peanut’s heart rate was 150. Looks like everything is going just wonderfully!

I now have to go every two weeks, so I’ll […]

Lynnette and I got a late Christmas present for each other: a 3d ultrasound of our now “confirmed” baby girl - Peanut.The process was so amazing. The place we went to was called Prenatal Vision, located in West Des Moines, IA. Keri was very patient with our stubborn little girl, who was determined to keep […]
