The Cuddling Pug

Commodus continues to be extra cuddly around Lindsey. Probably in some instinctual way, he understands something is up. Who knows, perhaps he’s thinking about what life will be like with a little brother.

Baby Shower #3

Yesterday Lindsey had her third and final baby shower. It was held at Bob’s Burgers & Brew in Burlington. The shower was organized by one of Lindsey’s close friends, Jennifer.
The girls had a great time talking babies and playing games. Meanwhile the boys retreated into the bar. Oliver, Jennifer’s husband and father of 10-month-old Bjorn, shared some of his fatherly wisdom with Jim (another expecting daddy) and me.
The ladies: Jennifer, Laura, Lindsey, Emily, Caroline (with Ashlyn), Amina.

Bjorn, with his incredible blue eyes.

There are more pictures from the shower over here.

Monster in Mommy’s Tummy

The pregnancy continues to go well, though Lindsey is starting to feel like it’s time to get this show on the road. I think her exact words were “I want this monster out of me!” So little monster, we’re hereby giving you one month’s notice to vacate the premises. Looking forward to meeting you soon.
35 and 3/7 weeks.

Bump Shoot #2

After weeks of wind, cold, snow, and rain, we’re finally getting some beautiful days. Lindsey and I try to take walks at lunch time whenever it’s nice out — a benefit of working from home. Today I brought along my camera to get some bump shots of Lindsey at 34 weeks.






Lindsey’s looking for her feet.


Commodus says, “Hello little brother.”


Making faces.

Car Seat Installation…Complete

I’ve heard stories of daddies installing infant seats while parked in the fire lane in front of the hospital while mommy and baby wait nearby in a wheelchair. I don’t want to be that daddy.
So, yesterday I installed the infant seat in our Subaru — seven weeks early, thank you very much! I think it’s in properly, though we’ll take it by a fire station to be inspected.
As you can see from the picture of Lindsey in the back seat, we’re going to be needing a bigger car pretty soon 😉

I read the manual.


Yard sale.


It’s cozy back there.
