Doc

Yesterday Julie had her 38 week doctor appointment to see the progress of the baby. Everything checked out ok and we are moving right along. We are both very anxious for the day to come.

President's Day

As a banker we do have a number of holidays off throughout the year. Unfortunately most of these holidays happen when it is snowing in NE OH. I was able to get some errands completed including a haircut and picked up some items for the house. I was also able to paint the letters for the baby's room. We are both anxious for the arrival of the little guy.

Valentine

Valentine’s Day brought an interesting day. I made Julie breakfast and bed and then we relaxed for the morning. In the afternoon I went with her brother to play some indoor golf which was fun and look forward to doing it again. In the evening Julie and I went to the Medina Ice Festival to view the ice carvings. Overall very fun day!

Valentine's Day Dinner

Last night Julie and I had a nice dinner at Lucia's with a couple friends to celebrate Valentine's Day. Last year we rented a limo for the evening but this year we decided to scale back and enjoyed a fondue dessert at our friend's house afterwards. The evening concluded watching What Happens in Vegas. Another great evening!

Friday

Yesterday Julie and I had a nice and relaxing evening which included dinner and a movie. This weekend is Valentine's weekend and we have a few things planned. We are looking forward to a relaxing weekend!

Acceptance

I accepted an offer to transition into a new role that really fits my skill set much better. I am looking forward to the opportunity this new role presents and I know long term I will feel greater career fulfillment.

Offer

Yesterday was another interesting day as I received an offer to take a new role within the organization. I am really excited about getting back into the sales force and generating revenue for the company. My passion has always been in sales and I am looking forward to the next opportunity.

Chili and Snow

Yesterday Julie and I both worked from home due to the impending snow storm. During the day it snowed pretty regularly causing most of the roads in our area to be completely covered. In the evening we had some chili to warm up and enjoyed the evening by watching the Cavs game.

DR Office

I woke up with a sore throat and normally I would not go to the doctor. However since the baby is going to come any day now I thought I better get it checked out. The good news is it is not contagious so if he arrives soon I will be able to take care of the little man.

Super Bowl

The Super Bowl was really good and was a time we could relax with Julie’s family. My brother was able to stop over as well with his son. It is really great to be blessed with a great family we are so fortunate.

Whoa

On Friday we had a chance to meet the new neighbors in the development. As it turns out we are the only ones who have not gone through birth labor yet. All of that came to a close last night when Julie went into pre labor and has been having some contractions. We took a little trial run to the hospital and they sent us home for some rest. It is only a matter of a couple days that we will get to meet the little guy. Should be a thrilling ride the next couple days!

Doctor Appt

Yesterday was an interesting day to say the least. Julie had a routine doctor’s appointment to see how things were going with the pregnancy. We are about a month away and expected to hear the same old story – every thing looks good see you next week. This time was very different the doctor said all looks good but you might be going into labor sooner rather than later. We are excited and nervous and looking forward to the upcoming days.

Five Guys

Yesterday had a nice day at the office and felt good after a solid nights sleep. Julie and I had dinner at Five Guys which have some of the best burgers around.

Sleep

What a difference a good night’s sleep can have on someone. I slept a solid 7 hours last night and woke up refreshed and ready to go. Even though I had to travel to Pittsburgh yesterday I was still able to get some cardio exercise in the evening.

February is Here

Another day with 2 workouts and Julie and I finished some things on her official nesting list. Today was a day filled with some ups and downs but had a nice lunch with a close friend at work.

Sunday

Yesterday after staying at Julie’s parents we woke up and had a very nice breakfast with our family. It was fantastic and followed by a nice church service. In the afternoon we were able to do a few hours of babysitting which was fun.
