A Practical and Fun Memorial

Grammy and Papa bought a playground for their backyard, "In memory of Isaac and in honor of all [their] grandchildren." Two weekends ago, we went to New Hampshire to help them assemble it. It was a fun and busy weekend. The playground is big and immensely fun. Even though we were not... (More)

Life With Three

...is going great, but has its challenges. I'm probably not the only one to brush someone's teeth with one hand while bouncing a crying baby with the other. But bedtime is pretty much the only time of high demand from all at once. Jonathan is great about waiting and about helping Faith... (More)

Carroll Street is Officially For Rent

We signed up for a new phone number for dealing with rental stuff, and bought the numbers to go on the sign today. Three hours later, we got our first call. Crazy. I haven't gotten around to getting it on Craig's List yet or anything. The guy is deciding between a house and a... (More)

The Birth Story of Faith Elizabeth Daley

On a Wednesday, two days past my due date, the midwives scheduled me for post-dates testing at the hospital the next week. At first these only consist of a non-stress test (monitoring to be sure the baby's heart rate increases when he moves) and an ultrasound to confirm adequate amniotic... (More)

40 Weeks

Had a midwife appointment today. All stats are good, baby seems to be about 8 1/2 lbs (tall and skinny, the midwife thinks.) (S)he is a bit turned posterior at the moment, but I am not too concerned because it's not very much, and as long as Mommy gets to be in whatever position she feels... (More)

Waiting, Quotes

I have to say that the real baby is much more squashed in me than that little graphic baby is on the sidebar. (S)he pokes up knees and heels all the time and increasingly presses on my bladder. I am ready to go, but still have plenty of things I can do while waiting. When Mom and Janet... (More)

Appointments, Painting, Settling In

Having prenatal appointments every week is not giving me much leeway for blogging. I just had another appointment today and realized that I have not blogged about last week's. First, Noah had his 2 year appointment last Wednesday. 35.5 lb, 37" He didn't like the poking and... (More)

New House, Cleaning, Fixing

Yes, we have a new house! The closing was a little hectic because the seller left a van in the driveway and we had to work out an escrow agreement for them to get rid of it (which still had not been done by last night.) Right after closing, we headed up to do work. We have had... (More)

Water testing

This started out as a reply to an email to Heather's parents, but I figured maybe other people are interested in the thought process about water quality. After lots of hours looking at water things today, I think we will definitely get a " MetalMaster " which gets rid of... (More)

Condensed Recent Happenings

Vacation was fun, see the pictures: Connecticut , New Hampshire . 7/26 - A little boy, older than Noah and younger than Jonathan, asked Noah his name. When Noah did not say anything, the boy kept repeating, "What's your name?" Eventually, Noah walked over to the table and got his... (More)

32 Weeks

We went to our 32 week appointment today and the office was much busier than when we've come before. The baby moved vigorously during the exam and the midwife had a hard time hearing his heartbeat. The first time, he obviously moved away from where she had the fetoscope; on the next try, I... (More)

SSH Login Attempts

I think I have written before about DenyHosts , but this evening, it prevented somewhere around twenty thousand individual hosts trying to login to one of my servers. The hackers have gotten smarter - that they used to just try from one host, which was trivially blockable, even manually.... (More)

Fourth Time's the Charm?

I had delayed posting this since I think people were getting tired of hearing about each house that we put an offer on. But, now that this offer has been accepted, and I don't expect too much trouble with the inspections, I figure it is safe enough to post.I said to a friend the other day,... (More)

30 Weeks

Everything is progressing nicely. We were late yet again (Jon thought the appointment was 20 minutes later than it was, and I lost track of time.) Even with rushing, my blood pressure was the same as it has been this pregnancy. The most fun part was when it was time to hear the heartbeat. ... (More)
