The first ten people who comment here will get something I or Megan make. Could be a real life thing. Could be imaginary. Depends on what I think you will like and my inspirations. (Note, it’s going to be something I think you will like. Actual liking not guarenteed!) The only real rule is that you have to make this offer in your own journal/blog. (and this really isn’t a rule, if you comment, you will be included!) Megan will take either the evens or the odds and I will do the others.

Meat!

vashon

A couple of weekends, we went and stayed at a friend’s cabin on vashon. As it happened, it was also Megan’s birthday. Chard created another in a series of masterpieces for dinner. An excellent beef tenderloin with homemade raviolis topped with shoestring leaks. Things threatened to fall apart at one point in the evening as the power decided to go out just as we were getting ready to boil the water for the raviolis. We were able to improvise and boil them on the propane grill. As always, many things contribute to me forgetting to take pictures of the items in the meal before they get eaten. Of course, I completely forgot to get the camera out in the morning when Chard created the eggs benedict the following morning.

The weather had threatened to rain the whole time we were there but the sunshine broke out for awhile during the day on Sunday. I’ve got a picture of sunset and one during the day. It’s nice to have this kind of paradise so close. If we hit the ferry right, it’s less than an hour from door to door.

otto miller thorberg

At July 17, 2008, 8.25 AM, Otto Miller Thorberg burst into the room. Making things brighter for all of those around. It was an interesting process to say the least. Water broke at 12.30 AM, we went to the hospital about 4 AM, Megan was getting ready to push at 7 AM. Dr. checked the baby one last time before the push and declared “That’s not it’s head!” He seems to have tricked us all these last few weeks. Breech baby here we come. The staff whisked her off to the operating room and out he popped at 8.25 AM. Long and lean – 6lbs 0.5ozs and 19 inches.

These are all photos from the operating room. Otto getting cleaned up and ready to perform. Momma and Otto. The happy family. Why are you looking at me?

A video of his first bath and a vocal chord display. The wash cloth doesn’t please him much.

Finally, a picture of me and Otto. I realized. I need to take more pictures of Megan and Otto. I focused a little too much on Otto yesterday. Granted, Megan took this one today. More as things transpire. Things are progressing well and we’ll most likely get to go home on Saturday.

baby tiberious!

beef — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 04:28:39 +0000

tuesday night was our 1st childbirthing class. oh the excitement. the lady teaching the class was quite nice and very enthusiastic. for the first time i got to see the birth of a baby on a video. wasn’t as gross as i expected but i’m sure in person will take on a whole new light. there were 8 couples in all. the class is 4 – 2 hour sessions. most of last night dealt with knowing when you are in labor and he different things that happen leading up to it. good to get this information from someone in person instead of just reading it again in a book.

we came home after that and megan had gotten a package from her mom and dad – wheee – a rocking chair. so we set that up and megan tried it out with little baby tiberious. we also wanted to try out the bassinet. it’s a good hiding place for tiberious. we tried to swaddle tiberious but that didn’t work so much, so he just got to wear a hat.

walking to the bus.

i was walking to catch the bus when i stumbled across this incident @ 3rd and Columbia. No specifics, this is what it was.

Now all we need is a baby…

beef — Fri, 30 May 2008 03:59:53 +0000

After the records departed, the computer room and the green room were melded into one. Went to Babies R Us (slightly scary on a Saturday) to get the crib. Sunday, we strolled to Ikea and bought some curtains and hung them up. Still need some little things but overall it’s a baby room.

Other baby news:
Went and checked out our first day care center. 4 blocks from our house, so an easy walk. All the kids will filter into our local elementary school, Highland Park Elementary. I liked it and baby will probably end up there in January until the end of my school year.

31 week check up. No big surprises. My weight is up. Baby is kicking away. Discussed birthing plan.

Checked out the diaper service. Looks like we’ll give them a shot. They’ll drop off clean diapers once a week. We just need to purchase the diaper cover.

Unrelated news:
I get done with school June 13th!!! yippee. I can’t wait to listen to the new pond and pugs barking all day.

wow.

good thing i got a new job and a bus pass. B99 at the local station was $5.15/gallon when i filled the tank. luckily i only needed 18 gallons so i didn;t have to cross the $100/tank barrier.

cribbage 2008

Another successful run for the crib tourney. Lots of fun was had by all as Seth hosted a fine cribbage tournament. Unfortunately, I wasn;t at the top of my game to take adequate photos of the corned beef or sausages that were consumed.

Dougie stood string and joined the elite club of 2-time winners that include Mugger, Tall, and Jeff. Here’s Dougie being paraded around in the wagon with the trophy that Mugger fashioned for the winner.
