Sleepwalking

Let's empty the mailbag, shall we?

I've said it in the thread, the shoutbox, and on the Facebook group, but nonetheless, I thought I'd say it directly: Major congrats! I hope this finds all three of you well, and I hope to hear an update soon!

Thanks rwiggum. It's been a pretty busy week, hence my absence around here lately. Sleep has been hit or miss, which has really been messing with my schedule. Last night was going beautifully until we hit 5am and Ethan decided to have a screaming exhibition. For a little guy, he's got some powerful pipes and some unbelievable endurance. Two hours of straight screaming. It was magical.

You're going to do just prime, big poppa. ^__-
-Danger Boy

Thanks man. I hope so. I've actually calmed down quite a bit since that first night home. I'm no longer getting up in the middle of the night every five minutes to make sure he's still breathing, so I guess that's progress.

John - just all kinds of awesome. I'm really happy for both you and Christine!

On another note, I'm also loving the Trauma Center get-up...
-Philth

Ah, my good friend Phil. I looked pretty ridiculous in the masks and scrubs, didn't I? If only you could have seen my bottom half. I was wearing a ratty old pair of shorts and some sandals. It was quite the ensemble. Not to mention that I smelled like a sweat sock by the time it was all finished.

Good job earning another amazing life achievement! Here are a few more achievements
to strive for:

1. First smile at you that isn't gas
2. First puke on your favorite shirt
3. First pee on you while changing diapers
4. First giggle at your silly faces
5. First word that isn't Mama
6. Rolling over - and off the couch/bed/chair
7. First solid foods, followed by first projectile vomit
8. First belch without assistance
9. First realization that you'll never create anything else that will inspire such
feelings of awe and fear.

You can only have one first child, enjoy every moment!

Congrats again!

Wow, congratulations from a gaming legend. I'm honored. I'm looking forward to all those firsts, except perhaps #2, 6, and the second half of 7.

Thanks for all your well wishes, guys. I really appreciate it.

I'm going to try to keep this page updated over the next couple weeks, but I hope you'll understand if it's a few days in between. Not that you've ever set your watch to it or anything.
