27 Weeks

Today Lauren is 27 weeks into her pregnancy. We signed up for a weekly update from Babycenter.com and this was today's update. Pretty cool.

How your baby's growing: Your baby is really starting to fill up your uterus. This week he weighs almost 2 pounds and is about 14.4 inches long with his legs extended. He can now open and close his eyes, and he sleeps and wakes at regular intervals. He may suck his fingers, and although his lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with assistance — if he were to be born prematurely. Chalk up any rhythmic movement you may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and isn't bothersome to him, so enjoy the tickle. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. Wonder what he's thinking?

Delaware Vacation

We spent this past week in Delaware with Lauren's family. It was great seeing everyone - Nana, Uncle Brian & Aunt Kelly and their kids - Kevin, Timmy and little Emily. We also saw the other Uncle Bryan & Aunt Peg and their kids - Dennis & Ian.

I posted new pictures from the week on our photo gallery. Enjoy & thanks for visiting.

Bluetooth headset

I've been evaluating bluetooth headsets for awhile now and finally found one that works great. It's the Plantronics 510. Excellent audio quality and appears to have the best noise cancellation technology.

Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I am very thankful for our family and our friends. I wish you all the best thanksgiving with you and yours.

Visit from Grandma & Grandpa

Yesterday, Grandma & Grandpa came up for the day. Even though it was a short visit, we had a lot of fun. The girls love seeing their grandparents. As usual they were spolied with presents and such.

Cool website

Check out Meebo.com. Allows you to log into IM without installing software. Nice if you are on a friend's computer, internet cafe or traveling. Works great.

Soccer

We had a lot of fun this weekend. Lauren had a girls-weekend away in NYC with her friends - Katie, Beth and Gina. Me and the girls hung out and had a ball. I've been traveling a lot lately for work so it was nice to have them all to myself.

Today was Sophia's last game of the season. All of the girls received trophies - it was great. Dave and I said a few things about each girl and our season together. A few girls even gave me a hug after Incredible. I think I embarrassed Sophia when I gave a trophy to her and said a few sentimental things about her :-)

I also posted a few new pix on our photo gallery.

City by the bay.

I'm back in the bay area for a conference. God, I miss this place....

Beautiful day.

Today was a beautiful fall day in New England. We went for a hike with the kids and Jackson. It's good to be alive. More pictures on our photo gallery.

Song of the month

I just picked up the latest ColdPlay disc. I really like this tune. Mellow but builds. Enjoy."Til Kingdom Come"
