As you can see, Oscar had a pretty exciting New Year's Eve. Grandpa and Grandma Hammond were in town for a wedding so Shea and I went down to the Delta Regina to have a visit with them. They went to the banquet and we stuck around and had supper at the hotel then went […]
One of Shea's mom's co-workers made us a “Baby Guess Book” which is basically a scrapbook filled with baby-related clip art, poems, and a bunch of spots for family and friends to record their guesses about various aspects of our baby. I thought I'd do a virtual edition and allow anyone reading the opportunity to […]
Shea and I went for an ultrasound today and got to see our first glimpse of the baby. No glimpse of twins (unfortunately) or whether it had dangly bits. But it was still pretty cool to see the little guy/gal swimming around. The technician had to wake the baby up by giving Shea's belly a […]
Even though the site's owner tends to frown on non-factual Q&A's, in my opinion Ask Metafilter is at its best when it has more chatty/big-picture/experiential questions such as the recent one asking for stories about things that fathers did to build strong relationships with their daughters. Some good tips there for any parent with children […]
Shea and I whipped into Toronto today to attend the Baby and Toddler Show this afternoon. A bit disappointing in terms of the number of exhibitors but this is probably a case of us being really early in the pregnancy mixed with the fact that they weren't giving out free books like the last time […]
I posted this link in response to Jill's comment in my last entry on “The Poo Bomb” but it's such an interesting idea, I thought I'd give it front-page status so more people see it. She did a post on her blog after reading a book about the idea that infants can be toilet-trained (ie. […]
The new online library student journal (creatively called “Library Student Journal”) has an article about how libraries currently serve babies. (Resists urge to make Jonathan Swift joke.) I guess one way to solve the problem of “baby” entries versus “library” entries on this blog is to combine the two topics!And what's my record for blog […]
I was going to post this a couple weeks ago after seeing a link on Boing Boing (and as a way to drop a sly hint about what Shea and I suspected was pending). But then I just put it in the “drafts” folder and forgot about it for some reason. It's still pretty crazy […]
(Hint: It's the one on the left. The other one is pregnant with beer, pizza and Cheetos…unfortunately.) It's faint but the plus sign is there!
