  • 39 weeks!!!

    39 weeks!!!

    Today we had our 39 week visit with the doctor. Technically it’s 39 weeks tomorrow, but close enough at this point. They put Nikki on another stress test “just because” and the doctor laughed when he saw us in there again. I guess they have done it the last 3 times just because they did…

  • Guess the babies arival/weigth/length & name:

    Guess the babies arival/weigth/length & name:

    OK, I figured since a lot of people are now checking the blog daily for baby updates, why not have everyone guess his stats before he gets here…  So please leave a comment with what you think his weight, length, birthday and name might be!  Closest one to the correct answer on any of the…

    I’m Famous!!!

    I sent my eclipse photo in to the local news station. They liked it enough they used it on the 6pm broadcast on Thursday night. My Mom managed to record it so we headed over to their house today with my little P&S digital camera and recorded the recording… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFLZsPtJ9-Y

  • Ben’s Baby Shower!

    Ben’s Baby Shower!

    The girls at work decided to surprise me with a baby shower. And boy did they surprise me. My Dad was in on the gag, so he worked with me in my office for about a half hour while they set it up… Then he called me into his office to “help him” with something.…

  • Baby Belly UPDATE v2.0!!!

    Baby Belly UPDATE v2.0!!!

    Nikki and I shot a few new pictures tonight. Hopefully I’ll have some more time to go through them tonight and get them up, but don’t hold your breath. Nikki is exhausted and watching idol. I made dinner (grilled cheese, weird we both wanted it for some reason and it was delicious). If Nikki hasn’t…

  • Baby/Nursery Update:

    Baby/Nursery Update:

    I know some of my family can only get update via the blog right now, so I’m trying to post a bit more often, especially when it comes to baby updates… (Hi Jess, your shots from Korea are awesome!)… The shot to the left is an updated shot of what the nursery looks like. I…

  • New Lens: Canon 135L

    New Lens: Canon 135L

    I’ve been keeping most of my camera gear info on my other blog, newschoolofphotography.com. But that’s becoming more of a community, and less about just me and my gear, so I’m moving all my personal gear info here. Sorry to bore those of you who don’t care, but I need to put it somewhere and…

  • 2nd heart rate clip…

    2nd heart rate clip…

    Apparently youtube clips embedded on the site don’t work well. I can’t put 2 you tube videos into one post…. and it seems one alone causes issues too, so here are links to the 2 clips:

  • Baby update!

    Baby update!

    OK, I know a bunch of people are following the baby’s progress through the blog, so we’re going to update it even more often now if we can. I’ve been working on a PAD project (Photo A Day) and I’m going to try to make them as baby specific as possible. I’ll also be including…

  • New School group meet.

    New School group meet.

    A few of us from my photo forum got together to go have some fun in Newport Sunday. It was Matt, Leah, Eric and Leah’s sister Abby. We had a great time dodging a bit of rain and a snow squall. We managed to hit up Ft. Adams, Castle Hill, Brenton Point, Ruggles, Second Beach,…

  • 7lbs 5oz!!!

    7lbs 5oz!!!

    No the baby’s not here yet, but that’s his estimated weight from the checkup last night. Nikki’s participating in a study on the size of the baby and how that effects a mother’s recovery… This means we got an additional ultrasound and a $10 Barnes & Noble gift card. The ultrasound images I usually share…

  • Ski Day #7: Sunday River, and other weekend fun!!!

    Ski Day #7: Sunday River, and other weekend fun!!!

    Well it was my last official ski trip on the bus this winter. It was another bus trip to Sunday River on Saturday. I was worried it would be very icy as the weather report showed rain anywhere in ME Friday and Friday night, but the elevation on the hill was enough that it snowed.…

  • D&B Friday night NSOP meet.

    D&B Friday night NSOP meet.

    Well we had a group meet at Dave and Busters Friday night with a bunch of people from NSOP (my photography forum, it amazes me there are enough people there to have a meet…) We had an awesome dinner with 7 members, and another met us later (when he could get there). It was Matt’s…

  • The Nursery!

    The Nursery!

    Well Nikki and I are almost done with the Nursery… We have to hang an awesome quilt that’s a family heirloom. We’re working on figuring that out because it’s precious, but also something that needs to be kept clean and away from the animals… But we have most everything else setup. I had a “challenge”…
