I go out Walkin...

Well, the kids have a break from school, we have conferences tomorrow, and me and Dominic need to go on our Walk.

Dominic was having a rough time at school, so I thought that maybe me and him needed some Father/Son time. Well, a few weeks back they had the Mile walk at school and they inspired me to go out walking. Well, I decided this would be a perfect opportunity for me and him to go out and talk and bond.

Well, we went and walked once so far (work became hectic and homework was tough) but he really enjoyed it. When we can't go out and walk, we walk in the house, or go in his bedroom and just talk about his day. I think it is really helping.

So tomorrow, we are gonna go for a walk after lunch (then maybe play some games.)

I don't have any assignments now until after January, so my work is trying to find more work for me to do. I hope they find something soon. But at least with this time off, I can revamp my portfolio, read up on the latest design programs and learn them, and finish some projects I have had for a few years now.

Other than that, not much else is going on.

Ya know, there is some really good shows on TV right now. Close to home, medium, ghost whisperer, lost...

Currently in my iPod:

Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful Boy

Well, it’s official. We ARE having a boy.

We had our first official Ultrasound today, by a registered sonographer(?) and she confirmed that it was a boy. We even got some new pictures...

The first photo is of his face. He kind of looks like a He-Man character I have called Man-E-Faces. I told Amy he is wearing a mask for Halloween already.

The next one is his foot. I have outlined it for you.

And the last one is his body and head.

Sweet, Sweet Baby

Well, I think it is time for a baby update.

Riley is doing good. He is keeping mom on her toes. Literally, her sacroiliac joint is acting up and it is hard for her to sit or lay down. She is borrowing her grandmother's lift-chair that her mom had.

She has had to stay off her feet. It seems that when she was pregnant with Courtney, she slipped and fell on her tailbone. She damaged her joint and her doctors have never done anything about it.

And none of the other doctors ever looked into it. Of course, it never happened until the last two months of pregnancy, so it wasn't that big a deal. She just was given bed rest and was fine.

But this time it started up in her 14th week. So our new doctor was concerned and sent her to family practice, which put her on Physical Therapy to correct this. The PT was so pissed that the doctors never looked into this, and was amazed that Amy was even able to walk.

So she goes in about once a week. We have another ultrasound next week. Hopefully they can confirm that we are having a boy. The first ultrasound surely shows something, but there is still some doubt. So, hopefully we can put this to rest.

We have the crib now, the stroller, some clothes, a few toys, some stuffies. So we are gettin ready.

I honestly can't wait. I love being a dad. It is such a wonder to watch my kid grow up from these curious dependent little things, to these independent - know it all - little people. But their my little know-it-alls.

Well, I should turn in for bed. Another round of edits on my current assignment.

I should go outside and see if were flooded yet.

G'nite

My life is asking for it's bowl of cherries...WHERE'S THE DAMN CHERRIES!?

Life……… could be……… better

I am so tired and exhausted. Not just physically, but mentally too. I wish I had a steady job. I keep looking at the classifieds and I just don’t qualify for all the design jobs out there. It sucks. I found a great one today, but I don’t have enough experience.

I also ran over a concrete barrier today. Nothing huge, just one of those small ones that they have in between parking spaces. But this one is a parking garage, so it was a little smaller, but enough to make scraping noises. So of course, I am all freaked out now. Amy says the car is okay, but I am so paranoid.

And I so wish I had a shitload of money. Enough to build my home (in cash), pay off all my debt, get new cars and all the electronics that I could possibly want.

So, does anyone want to give me money? I’ll dance for you (and the more you give me, the more clothes I will keep on.)

Really. I’m serious. You can pay me through paypal and my email address. It’s really easy. And I do have a webcam so that you can see me dance.

Just, uh, let me know, okay?
