Week 5: Double Life

March 6th, 2008 by Marc F.

It’s a bit tough this week because certain things aren’t being done while my wife is incubating our third child.  I can’t really get upset with her because she’s in a difficult position.  I, and the world, want her to rest - she’s naturally tired because the baby is getting settled in her body.  So; when I get home, she goes to sleep - I take care of the two kids, put them to bed and then I go to bed, she wakes up and does her thing - sounds like a fun routine, eh!?I’m falling way behind on my web projects - for my day job and my boot-strapped business (Digital Alias).  There aren’t enough energon cubes in the day to sustain me after 9:00 PM now-a-days.  Since I’m still programming I need to have a certain level of energy to produce sound code. Or it I just end up having to recode the site later for stupid mistakes.  So; there are many things to do during the day - sometimes I wish I wasn’t so ambitious - that way I wouldn’t have to worry about my business - yet there are so many purks with having a business.  It’s crazy!

Week 4: Waiting Game

February 29th, 2008 by Marc F.

I don’t know if I should be blogging this or not.  My wife is a very private person and I’m just writing all the private details of our lives to a bunch of folks on the intertube!  We’ll see if I can filter it a bit.  As of date, my wife’s spotting has diminished greatly, or completely stopped - I forget.  But it’s a lot better than it was two days ago.  The problem now is my wife doesn’t feel that she’s pregnant any more.  Again; it’s only four weeks into the pregnancy, but she doesn’t have any symptoms that she’s still pregnant.

So; we’re waiting to see what will become of our potential 3rd child.  Keep your fingers crossed!

Week 4: Mystery Sauce

Spaghetti and Sauce

I’m thinking about starting a blog about the adventures or misadventures of my wife’s pregnancy with our third child. The first two were a blur - I seemed to do everything right the first time, the second pregnancy we all slacked up a bit, and we can only image the debacle for this pregnancy. Ha-ha.

I noticed that every pregnancy is different and for some reason, the dark side of me is telling me that this one is going to be a bumpy ride. So; we start out with the how my wife found out that she likes prego sauce… I mean she was prego… you know what I mean.

Happy Birthday

My wife is NEVER late for her monthly menstrual cycle. She started to indicate to me that she might be prego all day, Sunday, February 17, 2008. I forgot what we did that day, but I kept reassuring her to wait it out, “You’re not pregenant - don’t even think that way, haha.” Later on that day, for some strange reason, I got very very peaceful about the whole thing. That’s when I new she was pregnant and God has already dealt with me to accept it. I told her, “Go ahead and get the home pregnancy test, if you want - I’m cool with it.” She got, took it and found out on her 28th birthday that she was pregnant. It quickly followed with a 15-minute consoling hug and she then rushed off to figure her numbers (make sure we can afford another baby).
