How will it affect your family?

A friend of mine posted a video on his blog. I watched it, and couldn’t tell if I should laugh, or cry, or scream. At first it looks like a joke, and I almost started laughing, but then it just keeps going, and going, and all the while getting more serious. Which leads me to believe that it wasn’t a joke, and if it wasn’t a joke, then I have to reply. But I didn’t want to reply on his blog, and have him feel as if I were attacking him personally. So I’ve posted it here because I just can’t let this go without saying something.

Video after the break.

What can a 6 month old Skyeberry do?

She sits!!

She eats squash! (well, sort of)

And she looks cute!

On a side note:

The other night while I was walking Sam I had unexpected nostalgia. It hasn’t been this frigid since last year and last winter was when I was pregnant. The brisk air reminded me of walking in the cold air when Skye was in my belly, and…I totally missed that feeling!  I couldn’t believe it, I never, ever, ever, ever thought I’d be one to miss being pregnant. For a moment though, I did. I missed feeling her kicks and hiccups and that tight, inevitable bond from giving up one’s body for the life of another. Maybe I should go back to my pregnancy journal and jog my real memory!

When Skye was born, one of the first things the main nurse that was in the room with us during the C-section had us do, was try to get in some skin-to-skin time as soon as possible. For normal people, this might have been in a few minutes when they had finished stitching up my wife, and had wheeled her back into her room, possibly after she had regained a modicum of consciousness—but not this nurse, she wanted it now.  Continue reading “baby soft breaths”

Drainage Basin!

What a birthday!

It started off like any other day and I went to finally check my work email around 11:30. The agenda for the annual CA meetings was there from Friday which reminded me I needed to start preparing for my big presentation tomorrow. I checked the agenda for the meetings and noticed that my name wasn’t on the list for tomorrow. I got a terrible feeling in my gut. I checked the schedule for today and saw that I was supposed to present at 2:00…  TODAY!…  In 2 1/2 hours!… Holy crap.

32 years old!

Yikes! Another year gone by, quicker than the last!  With Skye here, time is relentless, and is cruising by at warp speed. That reminds me how much I miss any new Star Trek TV and movies. The new movie will be awesome, I’m sure, but it won’t be the same without Data and that cast.  :(

Ha! Wow, anyways, yeah, the big 3-2!  Well my 30th bday was a little rough emotionally, but what a difference 2 years makes. My life is full, and I can sincerely think of nothing I want, but continued good health for my family and friends. Maybe that’s why I am taking on Europe. I’m finally at a place where I can ask the universe, what else does this big world offer, now that I have it all?  A strange little country on the edge of the world?  OK, we’ll try that.

Here’s to the next two years being as full as the last!
