Things you don't really want to hear

While playing with plastic toy animals:
Amber (giraffe): I am daddy
Julie (moose): I am daddy
Amber (geraffe): no, I am daddy, see?

North Korea, yeah right

Recently there has been news that North Korea launched a cyber attack against some of the US government websites. All I have to say is, "yeah right". That country is so focused on nuclear military and physical border patrol that I highly doubt they have any resources left over to support any substantial cyber anything if for no other reason than the fact that we embargo against them. What have we done to North Korea to make them hate us so much anyway?

The Crying

I know I've mentioned it before, each time I have a newborn. I really hate hearing them cry. It bothers me to no end. The only solace is the thought that this will be the last.

Photos Later This Evening

Kristy is in Room 336 at St. Vincent's Women's Hospital. (317) 415-8111
And they have WI FI (Yeah!!) and Matt has his computer. (Double Yeah)
And Annette has photos -- including the yucky ones before Robert got his first bath. We're getting ready to take the girls there and will get some photos with them. Then Matt can upload the stuff to here.
Stand By!!

It's A Boy!!!

Matt just called. Robert was born a few min ago; 7 lbs 4 oz. He appears healthy and so does Kristy.

Almost

Just got off the phone with Matt. The Rn said Kristy is ready, all she has to do is push -- but not quite yet. They're waiting for the Dr. to arrive.

Birth Day Update

I just got off the phone with Nana. Kristy's contractions are now 1-2 min apart and the Dr. just gave her the epidural. Nana expects a baby in the next couple hours.

In the meantime the girls are doing fine. (What did people do before the age of TV and DVDs -- ie the mesmerizing machines.)

Papa

Papa (Phil) reporting -

Dropped Nana off at the hospital about 8 and I'm at home with the girls. (Thanks Humaira for coming to be with them while Nana and I came down from South Bend!)

Kristy is having irregular contractions and is dilated to 3 cm. They are starting her on Petosin (sp?).

Stay tuned!!

Kristy's water broke

Here comes Bob!

Certified

I am in an unofficial race with Dad to get certified. He is wanting to get certified in Java and I'm going for CCNA....again. It's unofficial because he doesn't know about it being a race yet - this should help give me a head start. I went to register for the test today, but you have to have an account first. So I created an account, but now I'm waiting for them to email me my password so I can continue. In the mean time I'm brushing up and realizing that perhaps there is still plenty of studying and refreshing left to do before I should take the test, but a deadline should help. Maybe I'll be able to study while rocking a baby to sleep....Maybe I should schedule the test for December. Also, I've noticed it's really easy to get distracted when you're not used to studying...but with frequency it should get easier to stay focused.
