• Hooked up the VCR to show the in laws the ultrasound. It felt strange to upconvert VHS and send it over HDMI. #
• I finally got around to configuring Windows Live Writer for use on my blog. It works pretty well. I think I will teach the wife to use it. #
• Just set up the wife with Live Writer as well. I think it’ll make it a lot easier for her. Also gives her the ability for more robustness. #
• @interceptor84 Very nice. I assume you will throw 8.04 on that beast. #
• Heading up to bed. I’ve got a 12 hour day coming up again tomorrow. I’m going to try to convince the wife to give me a massage. #
• @Twev1701 That is a nice looking fence. But can it keep Loki contained when he goes hyperactive? #

• @Twev1701 Yeah. I’d pay it if it wasn’t a mistake and I had that much spare cash. #
• @e_man Yeah. Its actually my wife and mother-in-law on that account. I tweet via pockettweets on the iPhone. #
• Finally home from Juniors baseball game. #
• @interceptor84 Hey that’s a good podcast. #
• @Twev1701 Everything OK sir? Hopefully, all is well. Have fun breaking that new bed in with Jess. #
• @Twev1701 Very nice. WIsh I was in your shoes. Let me know your secrets. #
• The wife and I are on our way to Scranton for her ultrasound. They are going to put it on VHS tape for us, which means I will convert to DVD #
• The ultrasound went well. We are enjoying breakfast at The Glider. Time to run some errands and then I have to get to work. #
• @hussywoman No we want to be surprised. #
• Errands are done. The wife is going to drop me off at the office. #
• @hussywoman @jerrwe It is the best surprise. I didn’t know for the first 2 either. #
• Even though the MacBook HD said it was toast, I re-installed OS X on it, and it is working fine for now. We’ll see how long it lasts. #
• Burgers on the grill for dinner. #

It was a good day.Filed Under: Family

Today we had another ultrasound for the baby.  It was very cool to see him / her wiggling around in Sara’s womb.  The Dr. also recorded it onto VHS for us to have. 

When we got home I made some burgers on the grill, and we had Sara’s parents over as well.  I had to go up in the attic and unbury my VCR and hook it up temporarily so we could watch the ultrasound video.  Now I need to hook it up to the computer temporarily so that I may digitize the video, and get it hosted online so I can send a link to my family spread across the country.

In other news I have been neglecting my blog, like I always do.  Truth is I have gotten a part time job on top of my full time job.  I am doing web design for 20 - 30 hours a week.  It’s not a bad gig, and I can see myself going full time within a year or more time.  I just need to keep the insurance on Sara and baby until a few months after the little one joins the family.  That way we don’t have to worry about switching doctors or anything.

Well I do believe it’s time to go wake the wife up from her slumber on the couch, and make her go up to bed to get comfortable and have a good nights rest.

• It appears the Democratic primary is a fairly close race so far. #
• Working: At least I only have to work one job today, and then one again tomorrow. Mid-week break I call it. #

• @interceptor84 You misspelled my twitter name n00b. LOL. I don’t care what they do as long as my kids are safe. #
