4 months old (well last week)
Happy 4 months, Love Bug! (last week) Let’s see, he’s been sick for about a month, is the best-dressed at daycare (also the happiest), he gets stuck mid-roll and gets mad, has found his outside voice (neighbors agree) and loves to sleep smushed into our armpits.

This world
Jumping Jack ^ A video of Jack being Jack above ^ What the hell did I take pictures of before him? I remember saying I would still talk and write about adult things. hahahaha! But I don’t really want to. Adult stuff sucks. I think the coolest thing about having a baby is the fact…

Happy 3 months, Jack
Night feels like limbo, some strange net where the hours hang. Pat and I are floating birds, the way they hang in a drift. There is no other person on the planet I would wake up for as much as our little man. He’s 3 months old today and it’s hard to put a baby…

Well this sucks
I’m here again. Sitting at work and thinking about my little boy in some lady named Jacki’s arms. It’s strange to have my computer exactly as it was when I left it: the same internet windows popped open like the day I left – radio lab and the Goomba Mushroom Super Mario costume I ordered…

Maternity photos (3-ish weeks to go)
Last weekend really really really early in the morning, we took our maternity photos with a co-worker of mine, Jill McNamara. Jill is also doing our newborn photos, so we have more photo shoots to look forward to and more importantly, the, uh, baby! Jill added a few other photos to her website here if…

Family
Before light, the baby stirs under my skin. Love pulls me in, rubs his face in my hair, lays his arm across my bare-hill belly. The baby kicks, kicks me, kicks him: diode to diode to diode. Links in one early motion.

Our sweet face
Last week, we got to see our baby’s sweet face. They spent most of the time on the heart – measuring chambers, listening to chambers, measuring valves, watching valves, it’s amazing what they can see on such a little thing. The baby last week was only 11 inches, how small is the heart of an…
