Birth Announcement
Posted in Commentary on March 5th, 2010 by Sacha PeterIt will probably take me a few weeks (months… years…) before I get the site back on track, but I am proud to announce the birth of a baby boy in late February (Olympic gold baby!). I sent out an email and bcc’ed a ton of people on it, so I apologize if you didn’t get it (or if your spam filter zapped it).
Anyway, here are some pictures:
Taking a crash course in parenting has been quite an adventure. It reminds me of the Battlestar Galactica episode titled “33″ where the Cylons come and try to attack the fleet every 33 minutes, getting the crew all tired because they can’t rest. This time it’s the baby that starts yelping out every hour or so for something (diaper, feeding, just wants attention…). So my half-hour window of opportunity is spent washing dishes, eating, showering/hygene, and a five minute slice was spent compiling a few pictures and posting it here.
One commitment made before the birth was seeing if we (separately) can get to the gym three times a week for an hour of exercise – so far I did half an hour of running on Thursday which was the first time in a week that I was on the treadmill – it actually went quite well, I thought I could do the whole 10km right there.
See you in a few weeks…
Congratulations! You are looking very fatherly in the pictures!
Congratulations! Best of luck with getting some rest (I like the analogy, btw)
Thank you both!
We’ve managed to get into a routine, and I’ve been documenting meticulously the feedings and diapers, and how much sleep the little one is getting. I’ve been using my ‘windows of opportunity’ to catch up with my inbox and readings as well, and amazingly enough am nearly caught up. It’s just too bad I can’t get out more and enjoy this beautiful “winter” weather that we’re having – sunny in Chilliwack feels like 15 degrees C out there.
Congratulation!
