It’s time to unveil the details of the great naming dilemma of ’08. I did inform you, dear readers, a couple times that we were struggling greatly with choosing a name for B. Baby number three. We would compile lists, look at them, not feel strongly about any of the names, then chuck them all and start over. For about…

I promise I’ll get back to a regular schedule here eventually. If only I could get back on a regular schedule around the house. In the interim, another funny saying from one of the girls. When I was putting C. down for her nap today she was super wound up. She looked at me and said, “Dad, I’m going to…

Both big sisters have a funny catch phrase at the moment. M. uses the word “imaginate” a lot. As in, “Dad, I was imaginating at school today about being a princess.” Or, “C., let’s imaginate that we’re princess fairies.” For some reason I prefer that word to pretend. C. is pointing out how she carefully considers everything by adding the…

We had the girls at Target today and experienced an interesting phenomenon. We had just arrived, so L. was safely and snuggly strapped into her car seat in the main part of the cart while her sisters rode along on the back (we had one of those big-assed Target carts with the two seats that face forward behind the “normal”…

L.’s poop has started to smell. Other than that, things are dandy here. We’re still sleeping ok at night. I’m pushing to force her to eat five ounces at a time, in hopes she gets up to 10 ponds quicker and perhaps starts sleeping all night. The fact she’s been throwing everything up about once a day from just three…

Things are going well. L. has slept quite well the past two nights, waking to eat around 11, 3, and 6 each night and often going back to sleep quickly after each feed. I’ve mostly kept the MacBook closed and in the office, but I have been adding some notes to a full update post on the events of the…

M. took a bit of a tumble the other night. We were talking with the neighbors while our kids chased each other around and heard a solid smack, followed by screaming. M. caught her toes in the sidewalk as she was running and ended up face-down on the sidewalk. Not only did she skin her knees, but also her forehead…

With seven weeks to go, we’re finally cranking up the baby preparations. Of course, when you already have two girls, there isn’t that much original preparation to do. We moved the crib back up to newborn level today. We moved all of C.’s clothes out of that room and into her current room as well. Sometime this week, we’ll start…

I can’t believe that between the Olympics, the phenomenal weather, etc. I’ve forgotten to share some very important news: we’ve scheduled the c-section. If she doesn’t arrive sooner, Baby Girl #3 will arrive on October 3, sometime shortly after 10 AM. All continues to look well inside the Baby Mama. The Baby Mama herself is a bit tired and uncomfortable.…
