Baby Coming!

Filed under: Kids,Parenting,Personal,Pregnancy — David @ 23:52

So, my wife, Ruth, and I have a baby on the way! I know, I haven’t updated this blog recently and haven’t mentioned it since July 1st when we found out, but he (it’s a boy!) was due on Dec. 20th. He’s not here yet, but Ruth will be induced on Tuesday evening, Dec. 26th if he hasn’t shown up yet. At this point, he could still be a Christmas baby, but we’ll see. I just set up a blog for him this evening so we can post updates and (of course) pictures. I’ll be linking there after he’s born and we decide on a name, because we’re not naming him until after he’s born and we’re going to register a domain name at that point. The hospital has an internet connection in the delivery rooms and I have a laptop, so the blog should go up pretty fast after he’s born!

Back from Holland, then moved, then…

Well, we went back to Holland the first two weeks of June on a missions trip with the choir from our church. Then, four days after we got back, we moved!

Ruth and I both went to Holland on the first musical missions trip with our church two years ago, but we didn’t know each other then! We still only remember talking to each other a couple of times on that trip. But here we are, two years later, married, and we got to go on the next trip they planned back to Holland! It was an awesome trip!

We moved to an apartment closer to Ruth’s job, and farther from mine compared to where we were. My drive isn’t too much farther, and hers is a lot closer, so it’s worth it. Plus, we moved from a one bedroom to a two bedroom (for just $10 more per month!) which will be great once the baby arrives! Actually, it’s great now since it means we have an office to put the computer and other assorted “novelties” in, other than the bedroom. And we’re on the first floor now (of two) instead of the second (of three), making the move-in easier. Ruth also has a much easier time, not having to climb stairs constantly while pregnant!

We went to church early this morning to make sure the nursery check-in system my family and I spent 16 hours moving on Friday (including two hours on Saturday) was working properly (it was!), so we got home around 11:15 am which is early for us, since we usually go to the 11 am service! Ruth’s already napping since we got around 5 hours of sleep last night, and I think I’ll join her now, then eat while we watch the new episode of Monk I’m recording now.
The past hour or so I’ve been customizing my preferences over at TitanTV’s TV listings, which are very useful since we don’t have digital cable with the on-screen guide anymore (and it has fewer ads than the now-horrid tvguide.com), and also experimenting with a great service that I really like called Spam Gourmet, which is a “disposable email” service to let you register for sites without getting spam, but they have a lot of really flexible advanced options that make me think I might actually make some good use of this service!

BABY COMING!

Filed under: Blog,General,Kids,Marriage,Parenting,Personal,Pregnancy — David @ 13:56

Just wanted to announce…Ruth and I are having a baby! It’s due the end of December, and we’re going to find out the sex but the ultrasound isn’t until July 25th.

Oh yeah, and we moved in June to a new apartment, closer to Ruth’s job, and not terribly far away from mine!
