    They aren’t the ones you can earn in WoW even! Richard and I are really happy with how Quince is doing. He’s continuing to impress us with his patience and general behavior. The week of the 19th, we were at the hospital lab again for another phenobarb blood draw. His is making quick friends with…

    Everyone has been asking “what’s the total?”, and currently we don’t yet know. However, we do have some of the bills in and each week brings a new one or changed one reflecting renegotiated amounts between our insurance company and the one who provided the services. Richard and I have decided to give you a…

    We have reached quite the milestone this past few weeks. Our favorite one so far? Being home longer than being in the hospital! When Quince hit 7 weeks old, we had been officially home longer. Yay! As of today, he is now 2 months old and doing well. Yesterday we spend the day in Seattle…

    Otherwise known as an update about the last couple weeks. 😉 Week one– Our first week home has gone off quite nicely. Richard caught a picture of Quince and I crashed out in the chair the weekend we got home and posted it on facebook, using my phone. Visitors for that week included just about…

    This posting documents our 3 week stay in Swedish Hospital in Seattle following Quince’s birth. I realize that the tense is odd you as read it, switching from present to past, this is because parts were written as it happened and others I filled in as I put all the notes together. After having a…

    This past weekend we received a visit from Aunties Kami and Alicia who were on a mission to properly decorate Quince’s bedroom. Kami finished his bedroom linens earlier in the week. The overall finished product is far more than I would have dreamed, it looks amazing. Many thanks to them for a wonderful new place…

    Once again we embarked on the journey to Seattle to spend 3 days running around the Washington State Convention Center with thousands of other “otaku” at Sakuracon. Due to my state, there was actually no running involved but extra slow walking. This was ok, until I wanted to catch up with someone to get a…

    After starting this project in late Jan, we are finally done and have begun moving Quince’s stuff from the living room into his bedroom. Kami and Alicia are working on finding a day to come and properly decorate, so Richard and I haven’t put any effort into that. Depending on what they decide the final…

    Now at 36 weeks along we see the doctor once a week, and my uterus is so high she almost couldn’t find the top of it at this morning’s appointment. Never have I wanted more of a torso until now. I find myself in envy of those woman with long torsos, thinking to myself how…

    Sunday afternoon my sister Theresa hosted a baby shower for me at her father-in-law’s house. All I had to do was send her a guest list and she did the rest! It was amazing and I had a good time. Some of my friends I don’t see nearly enough, and I apologize to them for…
