Have Any Names Picked Out?

I get asked these same questions on a daily basis: How are you feeling? – still pretty good! When is the baby due again? – September 27th Boy or girl? – Boy Do you have any names picked out? – … So, we had a girl name that we liked. We decided on that years […]

Hackathons

Maryam and I decided to participate in two hackathons at work and due to a schedule change, they happened to overlap. There’s this mobilithon that took place over the course of the last two weeks. It sucked because I was the only one with time to work on the app. I did the best I […]

Yeah, I’m Cheap

We don’t have termites! We just have ants and not carpenter ants, just pavement ants. That dust by the door is just dirt and ant bodies. Ew. And our bathroom is done! Even had a local guy do it on the cheap and so glad wee took the risk because it looks great! And the […]

Latest Happenings

My 26 week picture. Still feeling alright. My biggest challenge lately is eating. Normally I can fit quite a bit of food in my stomach, and I forget that I have limited space now. I’ve gotten better though. I just have to remind myself to stop eating long before I’m full, take the rest home […]

Twenty week picture + a pic of Noel, my parents’ dog they adopted last week from the shelter. She’s hilarious. Work has been fun. Studying, studying. Javascript and related technologies. Getting ready for my next project. And thought I’d share my most recent Toastmasters speech:

16 Weeks

This might have been the longest I’ve gone without posting. I was doing to do another Day in the Life, but I haven’t found a good day yet. Maybe next week. Today was my 16 week checkup that I was late for since I had to clean snow off my car (wtf?). So far, I’ve […]
