A New Home
You may or may not have noticed a new look... If you haven't, go ahead and notice now. I can wait... ... ... Done? Ok... My Hagood.net web site was starting to get a bit stale and my hosting provider was really not very good. With those two factors in mind I decided to move things over to GoDaddy and do a little redesign at the same time. But as with many things lately, I just don't have the time to finish things quickly. Instead of waiting to get all my content moved, I just decided to flip the switch and make most of the links give you an annoying "Nne ot doyet!" message. Want to see it? Click here.
So over time I will slowly get more and more content moved over, but for now... at least you can see my latest blog entry. Feel free to comment. You know my email address.
Latest Blog Entry
Third Trimester...
Dearest Daughter...
Today is an important day... Your Mom started the third trimester of her pregnancy. I realize the concept of time or calendars is years away from your understanding, but to us it is a big deal. Depending on the day it seems like you will never get here, and on the other hand I feel like you are going to pop out and start crying any minute. We are beside ourselves with anticipation.
Mom and I are doing well. You will be happy to know the progression of the backyard landscaping is coming along well, and there is a good chance that by the time you start crawling we might actually have some grass back there. I don't want to get your hopes up, but that is the plan.
I don't want to gross you out or anything, but your Mom seems to get more beautiful every day. I really wish you were on the outside so you could see it. (Not meant in a gross way) I have always heard that pregnant women "glow", but never understood it until now. She really is glowing and I think I fall a little more in love every day... Happiest time of my life.
I am sure that you are now familiar with the sound of my voice since I have made it a nightly ritual to talk through Mom's belly button to you. Funny thing about the belly button... I am starting to give it a wide berth since I am pretty sure any day now it is going to go from an "inny" to an "outty". I am not sure how I am going to deal with that... Try not to think of it I guess.
Outside of feeling your little kicks as I talk to you, Mom and I can actually see you moving around in there. The first time I heard your heartbeat, my heart grew a little bigger... The first time I felt you kick, it happened again... Now we can see you moving around... Just amazing.... I can't wait for you to get here.
Now... a couple of requests. I have been doing some research on this whole "diaper" thing... I don't think that either of us are going to enjoy it, so I am planning on potty training you at week three. Please prepare yourself for that. Mom rolls her eyes at me when I talk about it, but I have faith we can get the potty training done if we work together. So, for the couple weeks we are doing the whole "diaper" thing, I would really appreciate it if you would refrain from peeing on me. I know it will be tempting when you are feeling free from having the diaper on... but I would "REALLY" appreciate it if you refrained.
Lastly, I know you are going to be pooping quite a bit at first. I get that. I won't hold it against you. I have a pretty regular schedule with work and it would be great if you could hold off as much as possible until I am at work and unavailable for this "duty". Think you can do that for daddy? We can discuss car options for your 16th birthday.... Just saying... You help me, I help you. (Just kidding)
Ok... It is time for me to head off to bed and talk to you for a little while. Hope you are having fun in there!
Love,Dad
(Note: I don't intend on "Nothing to See Here" becoming a baby blog... but for now... I mean, what is a blog for? For me it is to write about what is happening in my life and what I am thinking (when I get a chance). For now, my life is totally about Monika and the pregnancy. They are what I think about and therefore what I write about. I could write more about all the lovey-dovey feelings Monika and I are having, but I am pretty sure NOBODY wants to ready that except us, so I refrain. Do I see the content changing soon? No idea. Just want to be honest with you loyal reader. Although... If you have a request for content, please feel free to ask. I could always write about SQL theory. )
