Our first daughter was born this evening at 6:35, weighing in at 9 pounds, 3 ounces and 20 and 3/4 inches long. She doesn't currently have a name that we know of yet, but those of you who have been around at the boys' births probably won't be too surprised at that. So, I guess for now,... (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)

Little Plumber

Noah loves to help Daddy with the plumbing in the new house. In fact, he had a hard time making the decision about whether he should stay home and plumb with Daddy or come to the zoo with the rest of us. (After Jonathan exclaimed about the baby elephants, Noah eventually decided to come to... (More)

Blue Shirt Picture

My sister says I need to update my style. Same shirt, same glasses, same hair... I guess I just take after Mom that way. Here now, for your amusement, is a collage of me near the end of each of my pregnancies. They are labelled with letters so you can guess which is which if you'd... (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)

Hot Water Recirculator is a Waste of Money

Our new house has fairly long hot water lines to the kitchen and bathroom, so I was looking for different solutions to getting there to be hot water quicker. I researched some tankless heaters, and for the kitchen and washing machine (on one trunk) a small heater (12 amps) would have worked... (More)

Water, Water Everywhere, and Lots of Drops to Drink!

We are back at our new house, and had the first taste of our water (unfiltered). We got the bacteria test results back today, which said the bleaching of the well was successful, and no coliform bacteria exist any more (or at least, less than 1 part per million). The "MetalMaster" will... (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)

On the Road Again...

I guess it can't much be counted as "again", since we have only moved once since we have been married, but the song popped into my head as I started to write the title of this post. Since some of you probably don't read every comment on our blog, you might have missed the announcement... (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)
