Sorry for the extended absence. I've been super busy with the job hunt and marking roughly a billion undergraduate essays. The job prospects are heating up, and I've been forwarded by a recruiting agency to a significant BC employer. Keep those fingers crossed.

So Lis has been out of town this week, and it's given me more time to reflect on the baby and what it all means. I have to say that I'm getting really excited. We're at week 31 as of yesterday, and at this point the baby has a very high likelihood of being healthy even if born tomorrow. I've been thinking about what it's going to be like to have this little person in the house all of a sudden. It's hard to describe, but I just picture him in all of the spots where he'll be. I see the crib, and I imagine him looking up at me. I wonder if he'll be as chubby-cheeked as I was when I was a tyke (pictured above). My parents nicknamed me Diefenbaker (pictured below right). What a solid little dude I was.

Most of all I just can't wait to welcome him to the family. I think We'll be a good little bohemian bunch. Our place is just a tad chaotic at all times, and I feel like this will be the perfect environment for a young person. He's going to be surrounded with books and art and smart people with PhDs. He's going to see his parents living in a great city with great people, and he's going to have a wonderful family across the world. I can practically see him there in the morning, cheery eyed and with his whole life ahead of him.

Ah, but I wax poetic. I can't make any promises as to how many posts I'll be doing over the next while, but I wanted to write one while I had time and let you know that this thing is still going on!

Wow, thank you - another post, finally. Thanks also for the explanation. You were a cute baby, though why you are propped up on a post, I'll never know. All the best for getting work - not easy in this day and age.
