Grrrr, it’s hard to write a well thought out post. With all the garbage out there and relying on ridiculous, meaningless, and shallow Facebook updates (my interpretation of a vast majority of what I see) I just feel spent by writing my one liner. It’s either someone bragging about their caviar, job, status, or vacation [...]

Harrison’s birth started Saturday. Crystal was two weeks past due and everyone was getting anxious. We had been doing things since the end of week 39 to encourage labor to start. Primrose oils, baths, massages, walking… you name it. In all we estimate that labor was between 60 and 72 hours.

It has been a busy couple weeks. I have been taking Wednesdays as paternity leave to lessen the impact of me going back to work. I have been pretty tired but the new espresso machine at work has helped. Well, it has helped at work and made not having one at home difficult! We test [...]
I finally bought a freshwater fishing license. The first time in my life. The $26 price tag was a little higher than I expected especially since it isn’t really for an entire year. I also bought Henry a pole and a life preserver. We drove down to Lacey and went fishing with our friends Israel [...]

Our new baby was born on Tuesday (yesterday [wow it feels like its been a month]) and we’re debating names. Before I go into all the details I’d like to share with you what we’re debating. Now we have some rules we’re trying to follow: Language Portable — We want something that will fairly easily [...]
Contractions are 4 to 5 minutes apart lasting between 45 and 60 seconds. This started about 9 o’clock. Hopefully we’ll be having a baby tonight or tomorrow as Crystal isn’t able to sleep through these!
Unfortunately we still have no new baby. Crystal’s birthday came and went. We went to the mall today with the kids to give us something fun to do so Crystal can walk around and look at things. We checked out the Rainforest Cafe which the kids really had fun at. All the walking made her [...]
I stayed home a couple times this week to help Crystal out. The doctor due date was April 13th. We figured April. It’s probably a range ± a couple weeks. The birthing tub is on standby, the cameras are charged, the house is being maintained in an orderly state, and the kids are working hard [...]

We’re all sorts of ready for baby number three. Our family has grown and there are moments I stop and think wow, Crystal and I made it through quite a bit. Immature high schoolers, self righteous “Christians”, financial pains, career pains, and our own stupidity. Heh, I am so happy my wifey and I held [...]
