I posted an entry each day during my 26th year of life.

Day 201: nothing nearly as exciting

There’s really no way I can follow up yesterday’s post with anything nearly as exciting.  We’ve known about the baby for a few months now and have kept it a secret from most people outside of our immediate families.

Either way, we’ve been anxious to share the news and are certainly happy that so many of you are as excited as we are.  Katie’s also relatively happy to be out of the first trimester, as the morning sickness is supposed to abate.

We just got back tonight from a trip up to Portland.  We managed to stop by Ashland on the way back and catch Equivocation at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival last night.  I also got to spend a bit of time today at Funagain Games, a internet board game retailer with a storefront in Ashland and Katie and I wandered through their warehouse for a quarter of an hour.

Also, I feel like I’ve been eating for three straight days.  Multiple times over the past few days I’ve felt like I’ve been too full to ever eat again.  It was, in all, a fantastic trip.

The next big projects: fixing the DVR, getting new tires on the car, and beating Batman.

Day 200: oh baby

Katie and I are taking a nine month trip to Babytown.

We’re going to catch the bus at the impregnation station.

Katie can now drive in the carpool lane by herself and (maybe) get away with it.

Something something something BABY!

Now, to answer all of your initial baby questions, in order:

  1. It’s due on March 5, 2010.
  2. We don’t know if it’s a boy or girl
  3. We’re not sure if we’re going to find out ahead of time
  4. We haven’t picked a name yet, but we have a few on our short list
  5. Yes, we’ll force it to learn math, the violin, and how to make a salad from jello.

Now, you know! Spread the news! Jump for joy! Buy us baby stuff!
In return, I’ll continue to update about Katie’s vomit counts and attempt to take pictures of her belly when she isn’t watching!

Or, you know, continue to write about video games.

Day 199: wedded

Katie and I went to a wedding today.

I like weddings. Everyone looks great and everyone goes home happy (and, possibly, a little frisky).

It was one of Katie’s high school friends, who looked beautiful, and the wedding was outdoors and relatively short. The reception was a brunch and there were many entertaining toasts.

It was also a chance for Katie to catch up with some other high school friends who she hadn’t seen in a while, while we awkward male partners supported their conversation as much as we were able.

Most of all, though, the bride and groom were beaming throughout the morning and through brunch. Weddings are like Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet: it’s love, idealized. It’s a perfect day, the perfect moment between two people that can never be taken away, regardless of future divorces or poisons or potions that make you appear dead.

It’s been a good, if tiring day.

Day 198: on the road

Time to hit the road.

I’ll see you in Portland, loyal readers.  Then, come Sunday, I’ll finally be able to reveal the secret that I’ve been hiding from you.

Some of you may have already guessed it or heard rumors, but I’ll officially confirm or deny any rumors at the end of this weekend.

I’m secretly hoping that I confirm a price drop.
