at 11:14am today, Saturday May 9th, we welcomed Justin into the world.
he was born naturally at 26 weeks and 1 day, and weighs 1 pound 14 ounces. he is now in the care of the Intensive Care Nursery at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center.
mom is doing well also, and we rolled her in on her robo-bed to visit him.
imagine your bed was tilted backwards by 7 or 8 degrees, and you shouldn’t get out of it, or even sit up, for a week. or two weeks. or eight. or twelve. these are the measures that my courageous wife is undergoing in order to stay pregnant. after two weeks of strict at-home bedrest, we […]

Tis the season to suffer through spend time with family that you see only once in a blue moon. This year–our Thanksgiving is going to be spent in Maine at my Uncle Dickie’s house. It should be quite a treat–Mike hasn’t met my Uncle Harry yet and the last time he saw Uncle Dickie was […]
and everything is beautiful, when you’re young and pretty. or at least, that’s what They Might Be Giants told me once, in a song. last week around this time, i was attending the Future Of Web Design workshops and conference. i got in my focus and i drove down to manhattan last sunday. yeah, probably […]
