Baby Size

Well everybody. We had an ultrasound today to measure the baby. We will find out what Julie's Doctor wants to do on Thursday!!! The technician estimated his weight by measuring his head, his stomach, and his femur. He weighs approximately 7.1 lbs. He waved at us and it was really cute. We think he has chubby checks. We will update you on Thursday evening. Stay tuned!!!!

Getting there.........

Well everybody, Julie is really starting to feel uncomfortable. It is hard on both of us because she can't really relax and I can't do a thing to help her. I hear that guys feel the same thing during labor. Kind of useless I guess. You poor women and us poor guys...............

She is also annoyed by the people who constantly say stuff like, "you look like you'll explode at any time." Or, "Hey torpedo belly!" It makes Julie want to kick some serious butt and I don't blame her!!!

Self Portrait in St. George

I think this is a fun picture. Some of you may recognize this as my messenger picture. I took another picture like this one but put the camera in front of the sun blocking the light. Duh!!!!! We are a little more centered in the other one but this one makes us look for exciting.

Sepia Tone

I toned a couple of prints in sepia tone today. I think I had very good results. I also did some warming and achival toning in selenium toner. I really like the qualities of both of these toners. This is a picture that I took a few years ago in color. I used Picasa to strip the color and add the sepia tone and I'm quite happy with the results. Most computer programs really blow the image away with too much brown. This one worked really well. Enjoy!

When Will Nathan Be Born????

I think most of you know this but Julie has a very mild case of gestational diabetes. One of the most common side affects of this is the baby taking on a lot of weight. In the case of Julie I think we all know why that might be a problem. So that means we will be keeping a close eye on Nathan's size. So there is a possibility that Julie will be induced a little early. Probably like 1.5 weeks early so around the 13th. Just thought you guys would like to know that. Let me know if you have any questions.

Windshield Sunset

Windshield Sunset, originally uploaded by KAGoldberg.

I cleaned the inside of my windshield on Saturday and it seems like I have a new car. Life seems more clear and crisp. Anyway, clean your windshield and enjoy the new visual experience.

Water

Water keeps running and passing us by. Crappy huh. I mean, it is nice to look to the future with hope but it is another thing to enjoy what is going on right now!! Julie and I are very excited to have Nathan come and join our family for REAL but we are also enjoying the pregnancy a lot. We are so busy doing school and work and also trying to spend some time together. Time is just going so fast. Anyway, let's try to enjoy what is going on right now. Life can be really hard sometimes but it is very special and once it passes us by it is lost.

Updates

For the next few days I will be importing all of the posts from my old blog. I want to have all of that information and memories in one place. And frankly, it is much better over here. It was really easy for me to move stuff over here which is really surprising. Everything I do takes twice as long as I think it will. This however takes less time that I expected. A rare thing.

I don't understand why it is ok to glue something to a baby's head!!!!! I guess it is better to just use a headband thing with a flower on it or whatever. So I found out that one only puts headband on girls. So Julie gets this blanket at a shower and it has a 3-inch stuffed bear with velcro straps to wrap around the blanket. So I think that this thing is a headband and say to Julie, "So do we put this thing around Nate's head?" And much to my dismae, Julie contuinued to laugh at me for like 40 minutes!!!!!!! Yeah, I felt pretty dumb. Right on!!!!! Maybe I should do a photo op with the headband. uhhhhh. yeah right.

Vision in White

Just wanted to post a quick pick of my wife on our wedding day. She is so beautiful.

Rock Chip Repair?????????

Since the cold weather is coming upon us quickly I saw the need to take care of some things that don't mix with cold weather. Rock chips are one of those things.

Have you even repaired a rock chip only to have the rock chip look as bad as it did before it was repaired?????? So I thought that was just how it went.

I just had a rock chip repaired today and to my satisfaction I can no longer see it!!!!!!!!!

The guy who took care of it told me that when you go to the 10 dollar places they tend to repair it about ten dollars of the way. Sometimes they look worse after the repair. My guy charges 25 and the rock chip is gone, it is invisible. Since my insurance covers rock chips (most do) it was free for me. Rock on I say.

Anyway, if you are fed up with crappy rock chips let me know and I'll send you the info. This guy has been working in the business for 25 years. He is really good. I'm not going to put the name or contact info because this is not a splog!!!!!!
