Pru has been much more active during daytime hours today. That is, she hasn’t been sleeping in four-hour chunks punctuated by quick diaper changes and feedings, like the first few days. Instead, she’s been sleeping an hour here and an hour there, waking up neither needing to be changed nor particularly hungry, and requiring substantial [...]

Hey Mister Postman…

My Uncle Bill and Aunt Liz did something very cute this week that all but guaranteed them their own blog post. They sent a package … and addressed it to Pru. Her first piece of mail!
Cal was also a pretty big fan:
And what’s in the box, you wonder? What do you get [...]
Great Ideas Never Go Out Of Style

When I was in high school, I helped my friend J.P. with his candidacy for student body president (ultimately unsuccessful, alas). As part of the campaign, J.P. purchased a remote-controlled blimp (this model, as I recall) on which the slogan “Vote J.P.” (or something to that effect) was emblazoned. Campaign volunteers (i.e., guys from our [...]
Question for Experienced Parents

At what point does the overwhelming paranoia that everything your newborn encounters is going to cause her to suffocate/overheat/be kidnapped by gypsies pass? When she turns 13?
We have much to be thankful for here in Dwyeropolis…

Baby Update

Please accept my apologies in advance if this post is slightly incoherent; I’ve been more-or-less up for about 72 hours. Just so nobody is worried – Sweet Pea has been born. Her real name is Prudence Victoria Dwyer. She and Sarah are both doing well. They’re still at the hospital, but will hopefully be sent [...]
Last Sunday of Ordinary Time, Indeed
Posted in Angus, Pregnancy, Saints, Sarah, Sweet Pea on November 18, 2007 | 2 Comments »
When next we speak, dear blogosphere, Sweet Pea will be out (and, hopefully, home). We’re heading over to the hospital now, to start the induction process. Not the Pitocin right away; we’re starting with something that encourages dilation and effacement with the hopes that this’ll get contractions going on their own.
Your prayers would [...]
EDD +6 (Li’l Help Edition)
Posted in Catholicism, Holidays, Names, Pregnancy, Religion, Saints, Sarah, Sweet Pea on November 17, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Today is the feast of Sarah’s patron saint, St. Elizabeth of Hungary. (She was going to choose Pope St. Gregory the Great, the patron of music, students and teachers, but her CCD director in a weird combination of difference feminism and rigid adherence to traditional gender roles insisted she go with a female saint.)
Now, [...]
EDD +5

Sweet Pea is still hanging out in the womb, but on the plus side, she’s healthy. Her heartbeat’s nice and regular, she practicing breathing, she’s about 7 lbs 11 oz (give or take 30%). She doesn’t realize it yet, but she’s only got about 2 more days of freeloading before we start [...]
EDD +4

Still no sign of Sweet Pea. At this point, I almost hope she holds out another day, so we can see an early showing of Margot at the Wedding tomorrow. Sarah, of course, may disagree.
In other news, today is my last day at work until mid-January. Yay, generous paternity leave policies and [...]
