Kevin, Sophia and I ran some errands yesterday. I finally had a chance to get my hair cut!! After about an hour of running around the mall, Kevin and I decided we were hungry. Then the debate began…do you think Sophia will sleep for another 45 minutes?

So we decided to go to […]

It’s been a busy week for the little Princess Sophia. On Monday I took her to Kevin’s work to meet all the people there. We were only there for about an hour. Of course everyone thought she was the most adorable thing ever!

Yesterday I took her to my work. We left […]

I woke up at 2 am to Sophia coughing, which scared the crap out of me. I thought she was choking. So I got up and patted her on the back and she seemed fine. For the next couple of hours, I barely slept.

This is a warning to all guys that they might not to read further, I know how some of you would rather not read about this kind of stuff.

Anyway, we’ve been looking into breast pumps and the one I picked out cost $295 through Methodist Hospital. Since I wasn’t exactly excited about the type […]

This will be handy someday: gethuman database

I get so tired of calling customer service lines, only to be stuck barking out silly commands, especially when you know only an actual person would be able to help.

We tried to call the maternity ward at the hospital just the other day; of course we were greeted with […]

Did you happen to get our baby announcement email? If so, you may have noticed just how properly formatted it was.

Being the technical wizard that I am (or the nervous father-to-be), I whipped together a nifty Ruby on Rails application to ease the process of sending out our announcement.

As a service to our readers, I […]

Sophia had her two week dr. appt today. She now weighs 7 pounds, 15.5 oz. Had she not poopied in her diaper right before she got weighed, she may have weighed 8 pounds. The dr. said everything looked good and to keep doing everything we’re doing. Yeah!!
