Shower Time!

Here is a short video including a sponge and regular bath. The little guy is squirmy, but seems to enjoy his wet bath more than the spongey one. The password to the video is "diego" and as usual, the file is hosted at Vimeo where the bigger file can be viewed and downloaded as well.

Gas Buddy!!

OK, this is completely unrelated to our day to day lives, but useful to anyone at the same time. Now that gas prices are crazy expensive with constantly changing prices all over the place I have been using this website to help keep tabs on gas prices at various gas stations. The site is called, GasBuddy.com, and you can use it to find the cheapest gas in your own area. That's pretty much it for now.

Cheers.

Techie post of the day - RSS.

Ok, so I enabled RSS feeds (listed at the bottom of our page as "Subscribe to") from our site for those of you that may utilize these feeds. I'm still sorta wading my way through the usefulness of RSS and the accompanying RSS readers or aggregators. Though now that many browsers include RSS capabilities I don't think it's too bad an idea. If you like the idea of opening one page to get all your news, updates, etc...then RSS is for you. It essentially just saves you the time of going to various sites to get the same information that is delivered to you via RSS. RSS = Really Simple Syndication...so the content is simply sent to your reader (once you subscribe) and you don't have to visit the site. I'm still up in the air on if I like this method versus just going to the various sites myself...but here it is either way. Enjoy.

The many faces of Diego!

Here are some recent pics of the little boy.

His hungry face:I'm done nursing now:

This is how I sleep (always with a arm behind the head):


Daddy and Diego cuddle:

And finally the all important embarrassing picture for the first time he brings a girl home:

Our little monkey

Here are some of Diego's first moments of life. The original file can be downloaded from Vimeo and can be converted by iTunes into either an AppleTV or iPod/Touch/Phone compatible file for off-computer viewing. By the way, an HD version is available for viewing through the Vimeo link in the video.

Happy to be home!

Finally, I'm out of the hospital and now the hard work begins. Diego is soo much fun, and so exhausting; makes you appreciate everything your parents went through to raise you.

Here are a few pics from our first and second nights at home.
We may all be exhausted, but there is nothing better in the world than waking up to this sweet face!

Diego's Homecoming

Mama and Diego were discharged from the hospital this afternoon and are now both resting well at home where they belong. Here are a few more from the last few days at the hospital. Aunt Jenny managed to nab these good shots as well as our title shot of Diego apparently laughing it up already.

with love.

Welcome Diego!!!

Diego was born this Saturday, July 12, 2008 at approximately 4:50 am. He was born 2 days premature at 36 weeks 5 days of gestation. His weight was 6 lbs 6 oz and he is 19.5 inches long. Kelly and he are both doing well and he is feeding and of course pooing like a champ! I had to change his diaper 3 times yesterday. Well, here are a few pictures that I can put up while we are still in the hospital. Luckily the hospital has free wifi that is pretty darned fast too!
