I Don't Know Anything About The Baby Business

In just a few short hours, I got an eye popping look into the high priced world of baby clothes and products. Christine and I headed to Babies R' Us to register and I have to say it was the first time I've ever really cared about baby stuff. I was excited. I was into it. I thought it would be easy.

But after three hours it started to feel like that scene in Forrest Gump. You know the one where Bubba rattles off his long list of ways to cook shrimp. "Shrimp Gumbo, Shrimp Kabobs, Fried Shrimp -- then he says -- "I know everything there is to know about the shrimpin business."

Back to the store...

Baby Shoes, Baby Swaddles, Baby Seats, Baby Clothes, Baby Boppie (what?), Baby Bottles... BABY OVERLOAD. Stuff I've never heard of! I asked myself, did I have these things growing up? Then I realized...I don't know anything about the baby business.

Anyway, every day gets a little more exciting and even though there's a lot to think about, my face had a big smile on it when Christine brought home Chastin's first outfit.

Week 18 Specialist

We had specialist appointment today and everything is looking good. The technology is amazing! We were able to see the baby's bones, organs, and movements so clearly. He weighs about a half a pound and is about 5 inches long. Here are a couple ultrasound pictures. If you look close at the second picture you can see the family jewels.

Emmy Awards - Climbing - Shades

Christine and I at the Emmy Awards. Didn't win, but listening to the guy play the guitar was totally worth it.

Grandpa RC pulling down hard somewhere in the desert. I've heard he can do one arm pullups with his pinky finger.

Remember these Dad? Holla if you want them back. The 80's rocked or was it the 70's?

Week 17

Hey every one. So here it is the baby Blog! My plan is to use this page to keep everyone updated on Christine and Chastin's progress. I'll be posting weekly pics of Tine Marie, video updates, (hopefully) pictures of the little one and other baby news. Here's the latest ultrasound pictures. The doc says everything is looking good and Christine says she's feeling great! We are busy picking out baby bedding and are planning on buying a crib soon. I just need to get the room painted. Hope you enjoy it! We're excited.
