Twitter

I know it's easy to say you hate twitter without even trying it out, but I really think there are some practical applications. I can definitely see the point of view when people say..."Why do we need to know exactly what you are doing every 10 seconds?" Try thinking about it this way. I like to read a bunch of different websites for news etc. Now most of those outlets are using twitter to post headlines with a link to the article. It has never been easier for me to sift through all of the articles I don't want to read and get the full details on things that I do find relevant to me. I won't lie, I am addicted to seeing updates from some random people... BUT it is easy for me to make a business case to use it, and that is all that matters. I am all about simplicity, and if I can aggregate almost everything I want to read into one place, and be able to mow through it quickly. Why wouldn't I make my life easier?

Oh yeah, I might even use it to keep people that care up to date with birth info :)

Technology is amazing

Since I am neck deep in the technology industry, it is pretty hard to get me excited about tech things. However, during the whole pregnancy I have been amazed over and over. 4D ultrasounds, Estimated Due Dates, Large LCD Screens in the ultrasound rooms. I can't imagine how people even had babies before :)

The countdown begins... Only 5 weeks left. I am so excited. I can hardly wait to hold my baby boy in my arms.

A few pics...

Hello world!

That has to be the most cliche opening to a blog... Oh well. I am going to be using this blog to post updates about our family. I am mostly doing this because I really want to keep everyone up to date with the baby happenings.

I am really looking forward to the due date. I can wait though, because I feel like there are still a few things that we need to get in order first. I have heard that you will never feel prepared until the day the baby is actually born. So far, I can attest to that. I am also being patient, because I think that the closer the baby is born to the due date, the less time that has to be spent in the hospital.

Holly is a real trooper. The first 3 months had to be one of the worst things that she has ever been through. She was so sick the whole time, but maintained a great attitude because she was able to see the big picture. The second trimester was a breeze (like most people told us it would be.) Now, the final approach is starting to give flashbacks of the first trimester. Not in the nausea way, but just being uncomfortable.

Anyway, that is just a quick update to catch everyone up. I will post pics, and video as I become consistent with this blog and figure out if I really want to maintain it. I have to admit, I wasn't sure why people blogged before but it really does feel liberating.
